That's uniquely interesting. Curious.

There's a great saying I've learned in life: "Perception is reality" Try again.

As I just said, I've been a party to and witnessed over a dozen entirely fake sexual harassment claims (those are just the ones where I was there when said harassment was said to have occurred when it didn't). I've actually s

I've been accused of fake sexual harassment. So have most of my friends. I actually think the internet underestimates how frequently it happens.

Absolutely not. The damage to your reputation, the real chance of losing your job, your family, plus the cost and time defending yourself....absolutely not worth it.

Having given up drinking for two years now, I can say with certainty that no amount of alcohol is healthy. Everything is better. I won't bore you with details, but absolutely every facet of my quality of life has improved. Never touchi

This will definitely work. I can't say how I know, but someone in the intelligence community told me they are banking on it.

In this case, he meant physically dead. A few years later, my life was threatened credibly by a billionaire I was doing business with and it opened my eyes that murder is just another part of corporate America (usually made to look like sui

Correct. Not to mention when my life was credibly threatened in another business situation, they described in detail several other murders they had gotten away with and how easy it was. They made them all look like suicides and all were rul

No, he made it very clear they would kill me. I've had my life credibly threatened before over business in big deals. It comes with the territory and isn't as uncommon or unbelievable as people think.

Eh. I never minded the weight so much for the power I got out of it. The P17 is bigger and heavier and it's my favorite laptop I've ever used.

That's unconscionable.

That's what I did. Never felt the need for a built in modem, especially considering they are notoriously difficult to get working in Ubuntu.

You'd be surprised. On the GPD I had, I managed full 10 finger typing (albeit one finger at a time). It worked surprisingly well and I managed to code at a good enough speed that I could be fairly productive on it.

At a previous job, I was the engineering manager for a new neo-bank and was on call 24/7 for it. I have a beefy Lenovo P52 that I hated carrying around and leaving in my car lest it get stolen. So I got a GPD Pocket. It fit very well i

I actually designed software that could integrate with existing POS systems (the really hard part) that allowed for interchange free commerce using a card or Apple Pay integration. I showed it to an investor. His only response was, "Th

We usually hire people unhappy in their current position and make an appealing offer. The chance that switching jobs may not work out is a chance all employees at all companies take. We don't do anything specific to protect against tha

Indeed. That's why our most common coding challenge is this: https://github.com/mshang/python-elevator-challenge We ask you to see how far you can get in an hour and then review your code. We're looking for h

I think you're making a lot of assumptions about how we conduct our interviews that are way off the mark. First off, my description above was about my going through an interview process, not about how we conduct our interviews (the 4 e

I'm happy to sit down with you and watch you code if you'd prefer that. Most of our candidates prefer take homes. We're willing to work with our candidates to let them show their skills however they please. I'm not 100%

That's fine and up to you. Our interview process is extremely streamlined and requires 1/2 - 1/5 the time of most engineering interview processes. We do require someone to show they are capable of doing the work. How would yo

If someone asks for it, we pay for their time. And we offer to get a sense of how they can code however they want. Take home, virtual pair coding, in-officce pair coding or coding exercises, whatever you want. We just need to see you code i

Good question. We generally overestimate to make sure people are given lots of time to complete a task. We also are not strict on deadlines. Didn’t make it this sprint but put forth your best effort in 40 hours a week? No worries at all. Go

Like I said in my other post, your unwillingness to invest any time into getting hired tells me a lot about you. Let me tell you a story about how I got hired for a job I really wanted. They had a take home. Ridiculously simple. Build a 4 e

That's my thought too. I don't think this person has done much hiring so they don't understand the problem set. I haven't solved how to tell if someone can code without some kind of coding exercise. If I could, I wouldn&

1. Hire slow, fire fast is an incredible common and accepted form of hiring ( https://hbr.org/2014/03/hire-slow-fire-fast ). I thought we were discussing hiring here? My post was not meant to attract employees but t

Thank you. I don't advertise where I work on HN since I enjoy the ability to comment freely although we hire on all the standard job websites, including overseas.
