Unless handwriting is a big part of the job irl, it shouldn't be for the interview. White board for drawing a db schema or something, maybe, but programmers type. Also, it can be hard to generate code on the fly in an uncomfortable si

Hmm... if it filled a niche, maybe. Like for example: websockets break on mobile devices because of carrier proxy servers and other issues, and if this figured out how to handle that effortlessly and write everything in python, I could see

FWIW, my understanding is websocket connections isn't robust under all mobile carriers, as most drop connections when you try to upgrade to a websocket, since they assume http upgrade is for ssl, and also there are problems with period

My current employer bought the app I work on from my previous employer. It embeds websites in webviews with JS-Objective-C/JS-Java bridges so they can make native calls. You get most if not all the benefits of native apps, native UI w

I think you mean clinch, not clench :-). I'd suggest you write a project that uses a sql database, with or without an ORM. While there are plenty of NoSQL databases out there, sql syntax is fairly standard and universal for basic oper

Honestly I think tmux session managers are great, but I usually end up not using them. I want something simple that just works. Give me built in defaults that make sense and maybe a way for users to contribute their configs to a repo with

I'm cisgendered so I don't know what it's like for you. But I hear that you are saying this is difficult, and despite it being difficult for me to imagine, one thing I and others can do is take you at your word, as a person l

Bluetooth lets you connect additional devices, so I think that's covered. edit: and it has a special hardware port you can use as well.

Even so, your error parser could examine common layouts, and figure out that while depndencies could be correct, it probably was meant to be dependencies.

If The Wire had any truth it it, political corruption and terrorism are all the FBI cared about, at one point. That said, people say waste fraud and abuse about the private sector, but forget the millions investors put in private companies

Small companies don't have to filter thousands of candidates, and can innovate around how they hire. They have to be like moneyball. Big companies whiteboard because that's how it started, everyone who works there knows how to whi

Springnote was like evernote but automatically categorized things in a smarter way from the browser. I could add a page with an isbn and it would let me add it as a book with all the details looked up, not as a webpage.

I tried to do this, in jira, when I first started at my last company, and was told not to. It takes time to do programming work. Sometimes you need a good think. Sometimes meetings distract you. And even off hours, I'm often thinkin

FYI, one of the big changes is in integration tests on controllers... it's not a huge difference, but if you try to copy from the book instead of generating your controller you might have issues. Also only the 5.1 RC is out. If I was l

I'd get a CS degree first instead of a psychology degree and then going back to school. I don't regret what happened, but that would have been more efficient and I'd be paid better.

Taxes actually encourage spending, whereas low taxes seem to encourage holding onto wealth. If you can spend X to build your company and write that off, that's better then giving it to the government. There is the persuasive argument

Fundamentally, work for their problems, not yours, to solve your problem. Log patterns and avoid premature automation, but write down the time you and others take to fix issues and then you can say that technical debt because of blank cost

Giving up 50 cents an hour to get employee provided health care that would, if you had bought it yourself, cost way more then you'd have made seems like a reasonable choice. Remember unions have to have the workers approve any deal, s
