I do technical hiring for remote senior Java roles. I have not noticed a fake applicant problem. Can you share more about it? I see plenty of people with poor technical skills claiming to be senior. They seem to be real enough though.

All senior engineers were junior engineers at one point. I worry where we will get the next generation of senior engineers.

I'm wondering how this would compare to compressing the logs with Broli and a custom dictionary. I would imagine the size reduction would be much better than the 40% Kevin showed with his approach. As for volume, I don't know if v

I love this idea. In the past I stored our coding style guidelines and philosophy in our wiki. Putting it into git brings it closer to where it is used. Also, it makes it more easily accessible to AI tools, which is an added bonus.

I used to think that as well. However, I’ve been thinking recently about how I might be biased. What I realized that the above quote and what follows in the article was true before AI as well. Juniors always missed things that made code pro

I feel the same as the author. I also can’t come up with any satisfying solution. I empathize with apple and don’t expect them to support old hardware forever. The only solution I can think of is allowing people to support older hardware th

Reading this story made me hungry for the answer, and it felt good to get it at the end. It would be a more boring story if the disease was stated at the top.

It's worth investing in learning how to deliver feedback. If you are a manager or team lead, this is one of the most important skills you need to have. It's also useful if you are not leading. For me, the best framework for learni

A motivated, careful, vigilant candidate will do that and I won't be able to tell. I look for motivated, careful, and vigilant candidates so if they do it and I can't tell, I am OK with it. Most are not motivated, careful, and vig

If they refactor, I probably can't tell. Sometimes they refactor a little. I once saw someone refactor it a lot but there was still a tell-tale sign - I ended up inviting the candidate for the interview as they put in a bit more effor

Most don’t. I know the shape of the answer that ai provides. I added the marker to be able to tell with more confidence. Sometimes I see the marker and the answer is much different and more correct. In those rare cases I bring up the point

I want people to use ai on the job. To use it effectively you need to be at a certain level so you can correct the ai. That’s why I ask people not to use ai. Additionally, and more importantly, trust is important. If you violate it by ignor

A good approach would be to map a zip code to the named timezone (e.g. US/Eastern). Then, if you need to produce the UTC offset, apply the timezone to a date using pytz and get the offset. The named timezone is special as it is constan
