Sometimes I do it blindly too! I don't always care about the "how". Sometimes I'm just looking for a single line to convert a data type, or a bash command to do something. Not interested in learning all the arguments to

That's false. QA can also be concerned about growing new features in the next release. We have embedded QA's on our teams. They QA new features, as well as help to triage current bugs.

Yes, it would be cheaper if we didn't have to drag half the country into modern society. Imagine all the money we could have saved had we not needed court cases to establish LGBT rights, for example.

This is completely wrong. Site administrators can put any controls they want in place to limit access. I don't know where you get the idea that things on the Internet need to be publicly available or without restriction. Unless you&#x2

Yes, attacks on the web are very common for any decent sized site. Just because something is publicly available doesn't mean you get unfettered access to do whatever you want.

You are way overanalyzing it. This is some internalized thing, not a problem on anyone else. You don't need to analyze the "give-and-take balance with contacts" just because someone said hi, or asked how you are.

No, it is black and white. Just because you have lots of candidates doesn't mean you need to pick sub-par questions. Interview for the skills you actually need. If the person isn't implementing algorithms and data structures from

Algorithms and Data Structures don't measure either of those things. General IQ is not measured by very specific technical problems. Nor is learning something specific an indication of "grit". It's a proxy for interviewe
