   I'm a grandmaster napper. If you can't nap at work, go on a coffee break and take a nap in your car. People will jawdrop at your effectiveness. Ask Spain.

   Every post I see on HM about Linus is about how cool it is that LT is an asshole. What's with the skewed asshole-bias? Same people will bitch about "asshole people" on there own teams that are tough on PRs.

   I noticed the art. :) I thought it was funny because they touted how relevant their search results were then blasted you with seemingly random pictures.

    I bought one of these way back when. It was the model with the hole in it for hooking to a lanyard or something else absurd... It was so dumb and jittery I microwaved it a little and then swatted it off my roof with a tennis racket. Was fun

    Oof. You should bill them for your time. I sent HP or Dell (can't recall) an invoice for $800 in my early 20s for my time wasted on a support call where a "support tech" had asked me to reinstall Windows as a way to fix a dis

    All of my passwords are kitt3nZ!PIzZA837591&#! Which I simply copy and paste out of an iCloud Note. I use HashiCorps vault running on a micro EC2 with a small API written around it. Then I access it using a CLI I built and a key pair. P

    They teach that in CPR training for the exact reason. Otherwise people just rubberneck to watch someone die. In this case the flight attendant should have said "You in seat 1A perform the eye gauge" Edit: s/stewardess/fl

    Thanks. I'm going to give these a swing. I'm definitely guilty of going into a k-hole when I work and generally only stopping once I'm hungry. I've stopped resting my wrist. I made a little tack strip that I'd lay o

    That's what I'm currently doing with the tablet and the vertical mouse. I have the tablet on my left side the mouse on my right and then it's just a matter of remembering to not use my trackpad :-)

    I agree, Ecto is a great. Ive always appreciated ORMs, but disliked how people tend to forget about the database behind them. Ecto gives you a lot of power and flexibility, and its very easy to remember there is SQL behind there. Compose-ab

    It's easy to get annoyed by them when they are to the point they'll make up knowing someone to try to get an "in". They also don't do any curation. The majority that most engineers deal with are cold calling hoping

    I agree-ish. A good solution needs to happen. I've been happy with Hired from both sides. Recruiters are getting vile. Recently one contacted a friend and told my buddy that I had referred him. My buddy hit me up after the call mad tha

    Totes, but what interview is fair? I also send the same screening test depending on role so I do have a baseline, although I'm much more interested in our interaction during the pair session.

    I think it'd be great if there was a google JS snippet documentation sites could include to have a list of dynamic gotchas or faqs. How many times have you read docs and thought "well that's relatively straightforward" j

    Valid point. And we did have that discussion. They were a rails shop and not considering Java for anything ... so it was very much a very random question in regards to the position. He also wanted the pros and cons of them verses each other
