The pellicle stuff drives me nuts but I feel pedantic correcting people. I need to find an easier way to observe bacteria, because right now I'm relying on sugar content to determine "doneness", which is pretty second order t

I brew Kombucha. It's actually delicious, but you need to get a batch made by someone who knows what they're doing. Unfortunately, the latter is hard to come by because there's very little science in Kombucha circles.

I went to see if I could use moon and found this page: https://moonrepo.dev/docs#supported-languages Does that mean most of the automated features you mentioned here only apply to JS?

This can be easily said about spirituality as well. Anecdotally, I've met far more people with higher density narcissistic traits who cover their behavior with beliefs, enlightenment, and morality than I have of those with trippers. Un

That's an incredibly cynical take and possibly bordering on gatekeeping based on "spiritual" boundaries. Psychedelics can be fun, but in my experience they're fun if your mind is in the right place. They act as a conduit

Those probably aren't meditators I would be listening to, it sounds as unhealthy as the person that attaches their identity to their ego return. Psychedelics are a tool, and the different doses you figure out are ways of using that too

This follows the form, hype, and presentation of so many crypto pitches I've heard.

Yeah, someone who has Kubernetes all over their resume but has only clicked a button on an automated deploy pipeline that doesn't know the difference between a deployment and stateful set is a liar . This is what I referred to as &quo

It didn't list every language we work in. Working in all of them wasn't even a requirement for the job, so no, it's not inaccurate. I personally would have put that on there, but it's not substantive to the outcome and a

I'm not missing the point, I understood what you were saying and I flat out told you that the job listing was accurate. You just seemingly ignore that and go on babbling about your own idea of how our hiring process worked. It's l

Those things aren't mutually exclusive imo. You can be helpful and extractive. A good example is implementing automation that replaces a job and not advocating for retraining for the people impacted or implementing procedures that en

In my interviews I got my portion of the interview over quickly, a basic test of programming skills. After that, let them talk and just start mapping the dots on their resume to what they say. If it sounds too far from what's on their

Just my opinion, but if you work in software you likely have significantly diluted morals and ethics. We work in a highly extractionist industry. For that reason, I doubt that was the issue. After all, Google and Facebook still get lots of

I was a tech lead, I did first round interviews and had a larger amount of input, outside my manager, with respect to whom to hire. Hopefully that clarifies that bit. 1. I would say that our listing was accurate other than the fact that we

From what I remember the recruiters would surf linked in and post on job sites. For context, that was a pretty average product company in the Fintech space.

When I was in charge of hiring I dealt with this every day. A huge swath of software engineers lie about their skills, involvement in projects, and just general accomplishments. These also tended to be the people who did best in our leetcod
