> Last laugh: I ended up doing a short consulting stint there several years later and took more off them in a couple of weeks than the annual salary they'd failed to meet. This is still a dream of mine. I'd like to pull this of

As long as everyone is happy with the output, I don't see it as a problem.

I've never seen any evidence these interviews accomplish finding the best or even a competent candidate. In my opinion the best interview process involves simply looking at the work history and having a conversation about it. If it sou

Everyone does this because everyone thinks they need to. So you're suspicious of everyone, but the only thing you can legitimately suspect is that they're the kind of person that does what needs to be done.

The idiom is "bloom is off the rose", maybe that's what GP recalled.

There's so much suspicion in this industry. Is it so in other industries? We see a 20 year work history, and we assume you must be lying so we LeetCode you in front of a couple recent college grads. And now we're going to go after

Well, I don't think there's necessarily anything "wrong" with it (It's actually from my own resume), I just cringe when I read it. It reminds me that I operate within a world obsessed with jargon and eye-roll induci

It is so simple. There's no "Experienced software architect with a proven track record of delivering high quality and performant blah blah blah" shit. What were the interviews like back then?

I think it's pretty wild my trashcan has had OS updates for almost 10 years. And researching these tools y'all are recommending it looks like it might actually still be possible to run Ventura on it. This is actually probably my m

I'm looking forward to trying it. There's been a million ways to manage desktops and windows, and there probably never will be the perfect one. I'm all in favor of experimentation in this area.

I currently am using a 16 inch 2019 for work, and the keyboard has been a return to form for me, after blowing multiple "butterfly" keyboards on multiple machines - even though I use an external keyboard 99% of the time. It's

I don't like non-standard titles. Some of them are cute, but I don't put them on the resume. I will map them to something else. I once had a company hire me into a Senior Software Engineer role but they gave me the title "Sof

I ended up skipping Monterey on my 2013 Mac Pro entirely because it wouldn't let me install it because my original SSD broke and I replaced it with a non-Apple SSD. Starting with Monterey, that's not cool anymore because reasons.

What's the difference between bureaucracy and grift? All those 1.7 million dollars go into pockets, no?

I hate these banners. Often times, they pop up in a non-obvious location and cause the entire page to freeze - scrolling doesn't work, links and buttons don't work. I have force quit my browser on more than one occasion because I

The pandemic forever cured me of my willingness to participate in Trolley Problems. I would say harming people over some vague future promise of helping them is, from this point forward, always the wrong decision.

I find this very frustrating. If COVID-19 was a lab leak - wether it had involved gain of function related or just unwisely moving viruses from the animal kingdom into human spaces - what good did any of it do? Apparently our ability to cre

How there isn't a full on worldwide ban on this now is just beyond me. Our hubris and overconfidence could kill millions more.

I tried out Parler early on, and for whatever reason its algorithm thought I hated Jews and that I would appreciate seeing content like that. Or, that's the predominant content that was available at the time. I have not been back. Give

I am glad, because for years the prevailing attitude was that there's nothing special or interesting about consciousness at all, that it doesn't really exist, it's an illusion, etc. I don't think we'll ever be able

It would be fun to have this go all the way down into the silicon, to the transistor level and beyond.

I was expecting the article to announce it was being renamed to a 4070 or something. Now I'm just confused. It's just going away? Did they already manufacture these?

But, like, if we weren't such a puritanical society that stigmatized sex, we wouldn't have to care about our naked photos being leaked.

Not sure how this helps me get the candidates in the first place. Something's filtering non-white-male, non-asian-male candidates before they even apply to our organization.

In my current role I've done about 30 whiteboard interviews in the last 2.5 years, and I come down on the side that they are about as predictive as throwing darts. The most successful candidates I've helped hire in my career were

We do, but basically everyone has legalized pot now, and they all seemed to have forgotten to do the whole nuisance enforcement thing.

by nsxwolf 4y ago
It can't be done with pot, apparently, because it isn't being done. If there's any movement to reign in public pot usage I am not seeing it. I think people just immediately resigned to having the entire planet smell like a sk
