Candidates can learn about hiring processes before applying, like with talking with friends or sites like glassdoor. How the hiring process functions is a factor in where I choose to apply. For example Google has a bad rep on this - suppose

You did write "how" instead of "why":) Anyway, giving feedback about whether a candidate is still under consideration or not is, simply put, the right thing to do, and I think that's reason enough. Setting aside any

For me it has to be lack of feedback / radio silence. I've applied to places, done the interviews, gotten good feedback, and then communication flatlines for months.

An interesting question. I think that the bar is so low for feedback that any type of feedback is pretty welcome. For my most recent job search most of the time the company never bothered to tell me that I was declined, they just left it op

Musicians have always been about the performance more than the creation of the music. A ton of musicians do not write their own music, for instance, but are still really popular.

ROBLOX has Builder's Club which is subscription, but you can also just buy some ROBUX from time to time if you don't want to subscribe. It is pretty playable with very little spend, most games on the platform aren't play to w

I've had good luck with LinkedIn. You get a lot of volume, and the quality is not always great. However, it is easy to sort through it and find good stuff. It isn't a big deal to turn down unappealing offers, right?

It is true that FB routinely breaks the APIs. It is also true that they will kill your app if it gets too big and they don't like it. It has happened to me 2x, and I have seen it happen to other apps as well.

I am not sure how that conversation would go. In this era companies do not have a lot of loyalty, and it might taint your image. In your comment, you say that you tried to address your burnout, but is that really true? Maybe think about the

Agreed, it is my least favorite apology. "I apologize that you didn't understand" is not really an apology.

A quick heuristic is that older books that are still relevant today are more likely to remain relevant in the future. I don't know much about design books, but I would bet on Tufte books to remain relevant for a long time. Any really o

I had the privilege of trying out a $15,000 Panama hat. There is a qualitative difference between a $100 Panama hat and a $15,000 dollar one, but still, paying $15,000 or more for a hat is quite a luxury acquisition. A finer weave makes the

That's an interesting approach. We probably won't do it for the same reason that you won't. The contact list experience has not been really great for us. We are going to press on, I think we have a 50-50 chance of making it.

It's a fair opinion. In a way Facebook solved it by not allowing the sharing any more. In the birthday cards case the app is benign, it gets the data so that friends can send you a card on your birthday. Without some mechanism to get f

The birthday card app migrated to Facebook connected mobile apps a while ago. For the Facebook canvas app (40K DAU) there is no solution and the whole thing is a loss. For Android / iOS we are going to get birthday information from the

This is a pretty big deal for the app I work on, Birthday Cards. The app allows users to send cards to their friends on their birthday. Now it is a lot harder to know when the user's friend's birthdays are. With FB cutting off vir
