For developers at least you don’t need any kind of artificial scoring. If they pass the phone screen, just bring them in and pair with them on a contrived problem - you will know very quick if they are a fit or not.

GPA is maybe only relevant if you are very junior or it is the only thing on your resume. No one is going to care at all about your GPA once you are more than a few years into your career

Love JRE - I’ve been an avid listener since the early days. “Humble, but fearless curiosity with some good laughs” would be my best attempt at describing it in one sentence.

Normally I would think “break the rules, pay the fines” but I am sympathetic in this case. When I was in college I had to put my bicycle in the back of my truck and park about two miles away from campus because there was literally never val

I wrote Ruby as my primary language professionally for over 10 years. These last few years though I write more python and javascript than anything else, but damn do I miss the joy of full time Ruby - what a beautiful, pleasant, productive l

I lack that same bump! Historically I have only ever bought the kind of earbuds with the behind the ear hooks as well. That being said, the airpod pros stay put for me pretty well out of the box, but even better after I modded them with som

My point is the message is not at all confusing if have a fundamental understating of a distributed system as opposed to a centralized one. Just because most people want to use git just like you would have with SVN doesn’t mean it isn’t a c

The one about complaining about git status “Your branch is up to date with origin/master” Not hitting the network just belies a complete misunderstanding of both the message and distributed versioning systems in general. This message i
