I've seen it happen several times (my employer may be unusually prone to hiring jr devs as qa automation). I agree that if you can hold out for a dev job, do that and save a year or two getting to the same place. If you really can&#x27

The interpretation of IP law, at least internally at many big software companies, does in fact work like coodies. Hence things like "clean room implementations" of algorithms, modules, API interfaces etc.

Agreed! We had the same great experience with turning standup into an async chat room. We're bicoastal so it's even harder to find a workable time, but I still got flack from outside the team. The improvement in outcomes was so hu

Sure you could assume that, they didn't say so though. As an experimental design that would be pretty good, but as a product experience I would not be very happy to unbox one shoe, then wait days for the other one to arrive or find out
