To be clear I've been arguing all along that this in an indication that higher up in the pipeline they must have quality issues. Each step of an interview is an INVESTMENT. First investment is the Recruiter's time (sorry but they get paid a

Yes and if your manager doesn't understand then it's time to find a new partner in your career.. I am always amazed at people who will let a PHB torture them and gladly bitch about it at every family function and with a round of friends at

At least in our environment the "next step" are loops with multiple people. The goal is to help get more people a chance to see the candidate before they join etc. It might be interesting to track the number of screens -vs- cut-offs on-sit

That's very cool. I think what grinds on most people is the people up stream tend to send lots of low quality leads down the pipe and it burns people out. > In addition to interviews, I also spend an hour a week in a recruiting meeting

Yea I feel for the OP, basically what I'm saying is about all the other people in her story. The people in recruiting should have been doing a better job on quality. The other team members should realize how important it is to do the scre

Exactly, and maybe the good ones did get hired and really knocked it out. That said it sounds like the quality of candidates sent to her were really low and the upstream recruiters should have been working to improver that.

I look a lot like a "pointy haired boss" type. I used this to my advantage at times in interviews, I allow the candidate to think I don't know much about the topic at hand. It's nice to see how they can articulate something and you can sme

LOL two interviews a week.. I do about five to six a week and had three in a single day! My goal is to get four in one day... When you're growing staff by 100's of percent year over year recruiting has to be one of the most important tasks

Not sure how to answer this without saying "contact me". Let me try hard to add something of value while also saying "contact me, my customers are hiring high-scale, low-latency, C coders by the dozens". :) I started coding in C 30 years ag

I'm not a fan of "New Years Resolutions". IMHO it's a false point in time to force a process you won't follow through on anyway because the driving factor is the random reality that day on the calendar happened to pass by that we've assigne

Hmm on second thought you could also just render the "overscan" and have the IMU work with the display to shift the pixels into view while the processor works to keep the overscan updated. On pause you can re-render everything (overscan in

I wonder if some of the latency could be soaked up by a physical adaptation of the display panel. Imagine a display that adjusts position manually/mechanically in relation to the head movement, enough to give the latency time to catch up w

Less about how to become a hacker.. I'm ok in that department.. :-) More curious how people see the term 'Haxor' I know what it says in urban dictionary, but it seems a bit out of date IMHO..

Ask HN: Is Haxor really derogatory anymore?

One thought that bothers me is as "Developer Rig's" become more and more specialized (i.e. still have command line access, multiple monitors etc.) we will have more challenges getting them. Think about the years we would build our own game
