Gotcha style questions like that pretty much just ask "have you been in the exact same scenario as me last Tuesday?" My interviewing has boiled down to 30 minutes of shooting the shit to see what the person is like and to make the

I did get offered the job - I deliver answers to absurd interview question more jovial than it comes across in text... He asked me seriously and I said something to the effect of "I eat at least one donut a day for the past five years

I answered "alcohol and hard drugs" once to the famed "what's your greatest weakness" question. The guy looked at me totally shocked and I said "just f'ing with you, donuts hands down"

I was once asked a very very specific question about a conflicting setting in an nginx config and the dude actually wrote the config on the whiteboard and asked me how I would make it work. I stared at it for what felt like minutes and then

That's it! I had so many personal pan pizzas. My mom was a willing accomplice.

My school had a program where you would get a free pizza from Pizza Hut for every ten books you read. I didn't like the idea of lying about reading but I was OK with gaming the system by reading 'choose your own adventure' bo

It'd be really nice to see one in go or something else I could ship around easily w/o needing NPM and node, etc. I'll give PPT a swing. I haven't used it before. Thanks!

Which python libraries do you prefer? Inquirer is def the HTML inputs of the terminal but I got pretty far with it. My use case was Fairly Simple™ though. What other UI components do you think it's lacking?

I enjoy how much git-flow-avh dumbs down git for me. I've been using regular old git commands for years but inevitably end up in some weird merge conflict with myself and possibly a slightly inebriated version of me that was coding the

Serverless ( https://serverless.com ) has a nice experience. I believe it is built using inquirer.js ( https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js ) I've recently built an internal tool with inquirer and it w

There has been a XSS vulnerability in the USPTO site since 2008 I reported. It still worked in 2014. Meatspinned quite a few coworkers using it.

Technically speaking, it's due to the shitty experience.

Archaeology. I was really interested in the idea as a kid but my mom pointed out you might not get to bathe that often (and I was/am a neat freak) so I quickly lost interest. Now I find most of my vacations are centered around travelin

I've had similar experiences. And it's not always Ruby processing being the slow part but returning multiple result sets to your application layer. I've seen some huge result sets (thousands of rows) returned to do a simple

I used to work in healthcare and banking. Failing fast isn't encouraged in either. The problem with fields where perfectionism is expected is that everyone knows you arent going to do a perfect job. So you end up having 50482772 code r

I was on a first date and my date asked if I had a facebook. I said no (I didn't) and we she asked why. I said, "because I could give a shit less" (or something equally as cool). She said it was "creepy" that I didn

I've always been curious if China's censorship of content included examining files for steganography. I could imagine a tumblog of cat pics packed with all things you aren't supposed to know.

Once in an interview for a web developer role I was asked to list the layers of the OSI model. As I rattled off the layers the guy looked super surprised and asked how I remembered them and I said "pretty dicks never touch shitty peopl
