It depends. For some things, when it gets really technical, I use LaTeX, and I use TeXShop as an editor. It has a nice side-by-side view of the source code and the generated PDF. For an intranet, something like Atlassian Confluence does the

I think the trilogy is unfinishable. There's no possible way you can end this in a single book. Anyway, it may be for the best (think Matrix 3 and 4). "The Slow Regard of silent things" is also a beautiful book that builds sl

I went the IC route (Sr. Principal or an IC7). It's difficult to get there but rewarding. In either route, you're still a leader. Managers have formal power, and deal with a lot of process (budgets, pay, promotions, etc.). Tech le

Yeah, sometimes it happens. Tech leadership roles are hard to grok to some managers. Sadly in many cases they notice the vacuum left behind instead of the work put in. On management change, you need to re-assert your value, it shouldn'

High visibility sometimes is confused with strategic importance. Tech leadership roles in a sane org. focus more and more on the strategic than on the tactical. Help keep focus on needed projects that cannot be delivered in a short time fra

Staff is the entry level of the serious technical leadership ladder. It's a pivot point for many (i.e. a phase change if you like). As a technical leader, you don't have direct reports (if you have, you're a manager) and your

How many years it took to become a de-facto standard? It took a lot of antitrust pressure for that to happen.

The issue with no-code systems today, is that they're completely walled gardens. You're Oracle-trapped. It's really expensive to get out. You can use paid IDEs (think IntelliJ offerings) and get really close to the productivi

It should open up the possibility of facing backwards, assuming you don't have motion sickness, it's a much safer position to be in to dissipate energy in case of a crash.

Well.. yeah, upping your CO2 is how you lose weight. Weight is lost through the lungs, so increase your metabolism, ideally through exercise. Focus more on diet composition than quantity. Dietary fiber is your friend.

Yeah, there are bad employers and bad interviewers. Sometimes the importance of it is underplayed. I always drill others that interview duty is the most important thing you can do at a company (even though it sometimes feels like a chore).

Yeah. We adapt the concept of customer satisfaction to interviewee satisfaction in this case.

Crash safety puts lots of constraints on car body design. Specially at the front.

We collect post interview feedback for hires and non-hires, and measure candidate NPS on the hiring process. If some hiring manager or interviewer scores badly, well, he may end up not interviewing anymore. We want even our non-hires to hav

It has to be simple, not too hard. That first test is basically a screening. Will I invest an engineer's hour to try to figure you out? Then, if you get to a whiteboard challenge, in those the end result is not usually what matters, bu

I mean, you don't need a really hard test to weed out most hacks. In any case, if the test is hard, companies that know their shit in hiring, care more about how you approach it than what the end result is. In the end, the interview tr

I've interviewed hundreds of programmers, and really, you cannot trust pretty much anyone. There's so many people that think they can code, or just say they do that really don't, that some sort of basic coding test is necessa

What I grasp is roughly the following, we know, that you could construct a scalar field, part of a spacetime that solves relativity, that would show almost no effect on a weak gravity environment (it's mostly undetectable, unless close

For analytics sometimes SQL is not the best query language. In many practical scenarios analytic queries require looking at most rows of a dataset, but only at a few columns. This is what OLAP-like engines are built for. When you have these

I don't get the expectation of justice here (from a purely analytic point of view). Power laws are pervasive across pretty much anything you look at. Why would wealth would be different? I understand the feeling of "it's not

This applies to every role you can have in an organization. The better you get at working on the right thing, the less stressful your job will be.

It could have a myriad causes. On the video is over bluetooth, so a noisy radio environment, or some weird glitch on the bluetooth controller. If it happens on the trackpad, it could be a defect on the trackpad itself, or something overload

This feels right. When the brain fog hits, I need to workout to clear it. It works every time (you still feel tired, but you can concentrate).
