   You're right - it doesn't magically solve build reproducibility. Bazel pushes you towards a build configuration where you have to describe (in a terse way) the entire dependency graph of what is being built. It allows Bazel to be

   Well, that's also largely due to all the source (transitive dependencies) being present in one monolithic repo.

   By the way, they're hiring. And they're looking mostly for software people, who are steeped in web tech. They have some very interesting and challenging ideas for what they want to build on that front! I got to meet the software s

   Wow, yeah, that's really smart! (Though, I guess, with a small enough team it probably isn't all that anonymous)

   It doesn't matter whether I'm doing something simple or complex - for some reason it always takes me 5-10 minutes to refocus after being interrupted.

   And they can't rationalize why you're saying it'll take months to implement save/load. The newest SimCity is a great example of this. "zomg offline mode should be really easy for you guys to write! Why haven'

   That's not always a bad thing. If everyone is standardized on a particular IDE (or features for IDEs), you can be insanely productive. Shouldn't shrug off good tools, either

    Lawsuit seems unlikely, but it is certainly hostile to screen readers (though, it's quite possible to create a set of hidden DOM nodes that expose the structure of the page to screen readers. See google docs)

    Once you have a large enough volume of candidates, not differentiating between the candidates based on a degree is ignoring a useful signal. And once you are sufficiently large, you can probably afford to immediately turn away anyone w&#x

    IMO OCaml is the wrong tool for the job in this case (even if it is a better language for this sort of tool). JavaScript has a weird ecosystem where it is extremely helpful to have all of your tools in the same language. browser-based IDEs,

    Certs don't secure the connection; they establish the identity of the server you're connecting to (i.e. trust). This should help that. You can be more confident that it's not being man in the middled.

    There is great benefit to being able to bump your dependencies in a consistent manner. Specifically: * We want to be able to easily pick up non-breaking bug/security fixes that should not cause us to change code. * We want to be able t

    I suspect it stems more from the Google origins than anything else. Most of Google's code base is one big repository, and everyone is working at HEAD. It's nice not having to support a matrix of dependency versions, but that reall

    Well, somewhat tangential: There aren't enough (sufficiently skilled) Americans to satisfy the demand for tech jobs (primarily, programming). All the large tech firms are hiring as quickly as they can, and are still starving for devs.
