I do warm-up problems like this even when starting hour long code interviews. I don't like FizzBuzz though, I like to use same difficulty questions that can be expanded onto other tasks, a point-in-rect sample question can turn into a

This is a pessimistic view of what I'm recommending! I don't want fake praise, I want reasons why they're a good fit for my company and why my company is a good fit for them. Even if it's a company they've never hea

This is really interesting, I think we've experienced some very different companies! Where I currently worked, I've been the "inside source" for 4 people (2 of which I initially reached out to first), all of them were re

Out of curiosity, what do you focus on instead? I've found resumes in general to be a poor way to judge developers quickly. I tend to read the cover letter, jump to their Github or Stack Overflow (if listed on it or the resume), then g

What you describe is one of my biggest annoyances too, and very common with contingency recruiters. Luckily, our internal recruiters are fantastic and a couple have taught themselves how to program to be able to carry on introductory talks

I really don't agree with this. I customize my cover letter and resume for every job I apply to.

I actually started doing this when I worked at a 3 person start-up. In a small team I want someone who's also interested in the actual idea we're working on, not just any random developer. It helps that being excited about the ide

The additional page thing makes me feel better. I think it's a really cool project, and sharing the percent match with the person is genius. The cover letter in the example isn't really a cover letter, though. A bare-minimum cover

When I'm reviewing an application, the most important thing to me is the cover letter and the specificity in it. If you don't state why you want to work at the company, how you think you could grow being a part of it, or even ment

I used to use AsyncTask way more, I now stick to other ways to doing background processing. What you have is pretty close to what I described as a "headless fragment", it's a pretty common (but ugly, imo) paradigm, from the l

To be honest with you all my experiences with Services have made me never want to use them.

What you described sounds a lot like what I used to do for years. It works fairly well, and you can tack a headless Fragment onto it for things that you don't want directly connected to an activty's lifecycle (rotating the screen

Weird, when I try keytocard it errors about the size of the key, but when I tried it with a 2048 bit key it worked fine

While on the subject, does anyone know how to actually put a 4096 bit key on a Yubikey 4? I've been trying for months and their support is non-existent.

If you choose what you read carefully, it's still a great source. I find it a lot better during the quieter times on the weekends, and I use the number of comments on a post as a negative indicator when considering clicking on an artic

I used Lob for a small side project, it was fantastic. We simply sent HTML to them, which worked out great since we didn't have to deal with any real typesetting and got to design letters with HTML/CSS.

I know it's just an example, but both of the games you mentioned have had Mac versions for a very long time, if not initial release.

I think the bigger issue (which another article I read on this last week described, but I sadly can't find it right now) is that low punishment for when it's caught means its more likely to happen and not be caught. There were 3 c
