I worked tangential to a service like this. Every month or so we had to update a library that would verify phone numbers as new phone blocks were setup by providers. It was a huge pain in the butt. If we missed upgrading, we'd inevitab

For anyone else worried about this, print off your backup codes and put them in multiple places. A friend's house, a fire safe, a safety deposit box, etc. I nearly had the same issue. My phone died and I couldn't get my new phone

It's not necessarily that it's beneath them, but more that they have so many options available to them. Imagine you have 10 companies that you are willing to consider: - 5 of them are willing to immediately bring you into a seriou

I don't disagree your first point. The problem is that asking questions like FizzBuzz is also a filter in the other way. Higher quality candidates aren't going to bother answering your filter question and bail out of the process.

I don't know if it's a dark pattern. In general, as somebody offering a search engine, you want the most flexibility to offer the best result to the user. You might have the perfect item, but it's not available on Prime. Some

This is it. It's really easy to overly blunt and direct online. If somebody spoke to me in the real world like OPs comments, I would be very turned off and think they're a bit of an asshole.

I don't like filters like that as they're too black and white. Your idiot filter might test something the interviewee is knowledgeable or not knowledgable about. I have questions with a variety of add-ons, so I can tune the diffic

That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know! (sidenote: I really wish HN had comment notifications)

My standard setup used to be a desktop with two monitors. Once I transitioned to using a laptop, I dropped down to a single monitor. Given that I often use my laptop away from my desk, I like having a workflow that stays consistent whether

That makes sense. I don't know exactly what went wrong but the MacBook was having trouble sleeping and waking due to something related to talking to the monitor over USB-C sometimes timing out.

Stay away from you computer.

I had a similar issue with my MacBook and the fix was even sillier. I plug my MacBook into a USB-C monitor, which also supplies power. Upgrading the monitor firmware fixed my MacBook sleep issues.

Those racing thoughts are things that need to get processed. The problem you're having is the first time your brain gets a chance to do that is when you're ready for bed. Find 20 minutes or so in the evening to meditate. You can u

Flip the script around and ask yourself: how can I be the best worker in my 40 hour work week? Working 40 hours is your constraint and your output is the resulting variable. Don't destroy your life for your job. Also, make sure you&#x2

I've been told I look scary walking around the office. I realize I walk quickly and determined on my way between meetings. Apparently it made me look aggressive and scary.

I have seen so many non-technical people getting treated like wizards for knowing intermediate spreadsheet functionality. I always thought it would be interesting to enable people like that to do more powerful things with spreadsheets.

It might even help your odds. My company desperately needs people but also instituted a hiring freeze. We're not canceling any existing interviews and will treat those candidates like normal. I would suspect they have a much higher cha

I made the transition a few years ago. I enjoy coding and I'm probably a better developer than PM. However, once I realized there were higher level business problems that I could provide significant impact on, I couldn't stand spe

This is good and the domain is short and easy to remember.

I love this. I question whether the 10 files is too complex or a brilliant feature. I've been thinking about building something similar and I don't know the answer.

Looks interesting. I'll keep an eye on it. FYI, the site took about 10 seconds to load which isn't an ideal situation.

That's pretty darn good. If it only saved the data so I could open it again and see my note, it would be perfect.

I'm trying to offload a thought from my brain in the least amount of effort possible, so I can let the thought go, knowing I can come back to it later. Least amount of effort possible is so I can write the note without losing my curren

- Staying within my workflow. I'm already in a browser and I want to save a few thoughts. I can type xyz.com and write a few words without context switching. Opening a notepad app would make me context switch enough to lose flow state.

This is actually pretty good. It saves text between loads.
