Eat healthy. Seriously, the fatigue is almost-always due to crashing blood sugar. Very rarely are we working hard enough to actually be mentally exhausted (like those 4hr physics exams in school). Eat healthy != whole grains and carbs. Eat

There's a lot of FUD in the article. Most (all?) states have no requirement to carry or present ID to officers - you only have to give your name, and sometimes your address depending on the state. There's no Federal requirement to

More money is good, congrats, and this is just part of negotiation. But the company itself sounds broken. Any company that will give you a higher title/pay based that's not based on skill is not doing job leveling properly. Going

Wait, so you're trading asynchronous, non-interrupt driven communication (email) for synchronous, interruptive communication (IM, phone)??? I do the exact opposite - I got rid of my phone, and rarely log into IM, and have trained all m

This is a platform, not just a language. The same way that 'Mathematica' also has/is a language, but also a platform. You can write whatever code you want, but you can only run it on their hosted platform which is not free to

I don't understand everyone's race to move from an asynchronous communication method (email) to synchronous (IM/phone/in-person). With email, I choose when I get interrupted. With any other communication, you choose

this reminds me of tic tac toe ten, where the game is a meta game of itself: http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-t...

Would your rather that they have you come on-site and perform the coding challenge for half the day, then continue their normal interview process for the other half the day? Or worse, go through a normal 5-6hr interview loop doing random qu

All those companies should be care about algorithmic runtime, it's part of performance and scalability. If you're not thinking about that then you're not writing production software. I ask about runtime at every interview (pa

I've been burned too many times by people who can talk the talk, but cannot walk the walk. Design, data structures, development methodologies, etc, they knew it all. But ask them to code a simple method (find the intersection of two li

"Bring the source code—we’ll ask to take a look at it." Seriously?? What actual company do you know that would allow its IP to walk out the door? And possibly to a competitor? Additionally, projects are usually the work of a team,

Because everyone uses WIFI. Do you have an ethernet port in every room of your house? And you actually plug in your laptop every time you sit down in each room of your house? Do you plug into ethernet at the coffee shop? Airport? Friend&#x2

Regardless of any technological or architectural decisions, simple load testing before launch would have prevented this. 1. Load test, discover issues. 2. Fix issues. 3. Repeat steps 1-2 until no more issues. That is the flabbergasting pa
