I generally agree with this, as an interviewer. You need to be explicit about what you're screening for, unless you're trying to hire a mind reader. E.g. "this is a one-off report" and "ok, how would you do it diffe

My experience with this extends to private offices as well. Maybe I just drew the short straw with my neighbors but, if I'm managing people, I want to give them the courtesy of a noise-free call where they don't feel like they&#x2

Before I knew better, I would live edit code directly on the application server. I had a similar crash, deleting all of the files I had opened at the time, and had to rush to recreate those files to get the service back up. It was a low-st

I have one of these, and only in a very specific environment is it convincing as not-a-TV (aside from the concerns of privacy and their proprietary app). Especially at night, I find the backlight makes it painfully obvious that it's ju

I dropped ~100 records from a join table thinking I was connected to the dev db. "No worries, we have backups", I thought. Turns out those were more like replication, copying over every change immediately (including deletes). In t

The on-screen fingerprint sensor on newer models is infuriating. Unlocking the screen is always a two-action operation of "tap the screen -> wait for it to fade in / wake up -> put your finger on the sensor". The first

I use email. I'm generally very defensive on any new apps, tooling, extensions, etc. Emailing a link only takes 5 seconds and I don't need to optimize it any further. I also don't use bookmarks, or save anything for later, so
