In my opinion yes. In fact I would tell you to wait because prices may become even lower.

The problem with Greece was that the property tax was introduced out of the blue leaving a lot of home owners un-prepared. Let's say that in the US you buy a house, get a loan and your payment is $1000 a month. You make your calculatio

Exactly! I should better rephrase it "If you have money to burn now" and can wait until the country recovers.

If you think that you live well with 400 euros a month, then I rest my case.

by kkapelon 10y ago
Nobody would buy the house (apart from foreigners) because it is now linked to the tax that everybody wants to avoid. Also cash flow is a big problem for everybody so it is hard to find somebody that has 90.000 in cash and also willing to b

Every time you see Euro prices in the context of Greece, multiply by 3 and you can get a "sense" of the amount in pounds.

No they are not able. Lawyers are the ones who have all the power on this aspect.

Yes if you have the money now it is a good time to buy houses in Greece if you think that at some point the country will recover

Numbers don't really say anything if you don't explain who decides them. Here are two scenarios for you 1)I live in Greece and get 400 Euros a month and barely break even. I live in a house (inherited by my parents) that would fet

Because nobody would buy it with the current state of economy. And even if somebody did buy it then you would have no place to live.

Scan the whole comments section now and you will find multiple people saying they got the exact same questions (I am one of them)

If you scan the whole comments section now you will find at least 8 people (including me) that say they had the same questions with the same wording. Do you think a of particular question that you believe is different in the way Google asks

No, I have been asked the same questions by a person with @google.com email address that clearly said he was a psychologist and not a technical guy. His Linked in info at the time was Google Recruiter.

It does. I have already said it in another thread, but I have been asked the exact same questions at Google (applying for a Java developer job) Several other people have come out and said the same.

by kkapelon 10y ago
They asked me the same questions back in 2012. I was applying for a Java developer position. The person asking the questions said right from the start that he is not technical (he was a psychologist) and that he had a cheatsheet in front of

No they don't. I had interviews with both Amazon and Google and nobody told me that. After two years Amazon called be back for a second interview. I told them that I am not interested if they still have that kind of questions. They sai

> I want them to prepare for something they're not going to use normally I think this pretty much sums up what is wrong with hiring.

I just said "<insert your favourite algorithm here>". BFS is just an example. Oh, well...

What about the maze solving question? Should all front-end developers be able to create a maze solving algorithm on the spot, during an interview, under time pressure?

by kkapelon 10y ago
In my example I did not say that the first developer is ignorant about performance. I only talked about knowing data algorithms by heart. So let me rephrase this. Isn't it possible that a developer knows about computer performance but

Can you explain why a front-end position requires computer science fundamentals? If you are a company and have to select between two front-end developers where one has a vast portfolio of production apps that you find impressive and the o

The best way to detect this is to see the working conditions for current developers. Then notice the vibe around the room. Smiling people are a good sign. People that come to greet you and talk to you (even if you are not yet hired) are als

I don't disagree with anything you said. All I am saying is that the current "Concourse vs.." page does not really achieve anything. People who like Jenkins will read it and say "Meh", while people who have already

Congratulations for this release. However as already seen in the case of GoCD, the success of Concourse will depend on how easy it is to convince Jenkins believers. The "vs Jenkins page" needs to be augmented with more information
