That's what code reviews are for. Unless you're working directly on a live server.

Right. Let's assume you're going to need to upgrade sooner or later - the longer you leave it, the harder it gets. Best to upgrade and discover dependency issues during dev/staging, than try to fix many months worth of them w

That's your problem with pairing - you're able to think deeply, so pairing is a hindrance to you. The majority of developers, in enterprise at least, tend to write the first piece of code that enters their head, and they only cons

Such responses actually highlight the need for us to do basic checks like this.

But for the job in question, this kind of stuff isn't memorisable factoids. Knowing what these 2 tags are for is fundamental, the wording of the attributes are vaguely self-descriptive, and recognising CSS from HTML is instinctive. You

This is basic stuff. Perfect answers aren't required.. it's just whether or not you can have a conversation on something technical which you ought to be, according to your job title, at least vaguely familiar with. Don't take

> able to BS my way through the answer That's it. Anyone claiming to be a senior full-stack engineer should be able to BS their way through this. If you're shocked by what you see on a "view-source" screen, then you

Sure, it's not a very nice thing to say. However, if this tweet is the one that makes you "grossly offended", then you've lived a very sheltered life, and should perhaps limit your internet usage. I suspect the majority

That's fine. My scripts tend to run on a single machine.. otherwise, probably the same/similar Linux distro. So for me, if there's not even bash then I've also surely not accounted for other peculiarities on the system.
163.
by jenscow 5y ago
My take on that, was the host creation should be simple enough to only require bash.
164.
by jenscow 5y ago
Yes, well if a script I wrote has somehow ended up on a machine without bash, then I'd be more worried about other assumptions the script makes.

Knowing what the red wriggly lines mean is a start. From my experience, however, it's the native English speakers who spel the worse.

Personally, I long for the Rust which I used to smell coming from my grandma's kitchen when we used to visit on Sundays. Unfortunately, she's no longer with us. However, her Rust continues to be a part of our lives. The Rust you b

I've had similar experience. I inherited both front and back-end. Their solution was "allow: *" (which is like saying, "I don't like carrying my house keys, so I removed the lock") The system did require a &quo

Perhaps the point was, learning C is more of an eye opener than an actual skill. You're going to have to try hard to actually program something in C in the majority of jobs. On the other hand, you'll have to try hard to avoid any

An "Angular developer" would know that.

And this is why we need technical tests during interviews. There are people who call themselves "web developers", apparently been writing websites for 5+ years, but don't know about addEventListener.

ajax/async requests. On this site, for example, if up vote your comment.. the status will just be updated. Without JS, it causes the page to reload, and I will briefly lose my place.

Perhaps there are some heuristics/behaviours that cause a file to be uploaded for further investigation, to identify new threats.

> So, basically, for some reason, Microsoft wants to make it very hard for you to see whats running on your computer... That's my take on it, too. I doubt they care about a "competing" task-manager tool.
