To me this is very impressive. Their efficiency, growth, and margins are just staggering. I hope they succeed, but do so responsibly and ethically. And with an attention to quality and relevance.

This all depends on how lucky/smart you are with the job you select. At many large companies, and at a few (not yet baked) startups you will probably feel as though you aren't having much impact. I am mostly on the startup/entrepreneurial/s

No, I wouldn't be more interested in leaving a job for a week, but there are those working on their own thing (or, shock , not working). My main point was that there are other ways to gauge how well an Engineer can write (and deliver) code

Its best (for most hackers) to work at night through to the early morning. Zen. 1am - 8am. Then you go to sleep, wake up after lunch and do it again. Get your diet together so you don't need too much sleep :).

That's what interviews, temporary contracts, or 1 week in-house trials are all about. If an Engineer doesn't have a code sample, then you should move forward and find another way to see them write, critique, and complete code. I recently te

You should obviously be doing projects on the side to not atrophy. As for the smaller company route: since you have a family, then who cares. Just stay sharp and network. Maybe watch the projects you are on, just in case you need to jump sh
