Pretty sure the test here is to see what you do when you discover them. I'd give them more benefit of doubt and guess that they wanted you to report it immediately, and letting any mention of it wait until the end of the interview was

Star Trek is solely and wholly responsible for the death of the unsplit infinitive. TO BOLDLY GO? No, motherfuckers, you go boldly.

IDE's native tooling makes you more productive because you set it up and never interact with it. If you need to manually do stuff, or do it all the time, you can slap it behind a keybinding. My cmd+F6 to do everything that needs to be

If a spacefaring vessel lasts long enough that it needs to be decomissioned due to wear and tear, that mf'er belongs ONLY in a museum. I hope to live to the day where that isn't universally true, but it is not today.

I can't find any evidence any of those people, or the companies they purport to represent, actually exist. One thing to slap faces where you don't have any, but straight up making up reviews, people AND the company is actually hi

It's really hard to take those arguments without a whole serving of salt because the things that it's ostensibly good at handling really aren't that much easier. Why is (un)marshalling data in a type safe way so damn hard in

Seems an awful lot like perfection being the enemy of good. Github is and always has been a closed platform. It's also responsible for the largest explosion of open source activity from any single source in the last twenty years. You

Do you just want a wish list? How about configurable garbage collectors, cacheable JIT outputs, or a standardized bytecode format to facilitate language interop?

I've never seen Matrix discussed outside of HackerNews. In the last five years or so, the reaction to people finding out I still use IRC is either "What is IRC?" or "People still use that? Brings me back..." I don&

Faster startup -> lower serverless bills for a lot of shops. Shaving 25ms off a request might not seem like it's important, but if that saves you a million serverless seconds in aggregate, you just earned a bonus.

It's a cost-benefit analysis, like everything else. Supporting only github more than qualifies the Pareto need for the feature, as does Discord for realtime communication. None of the alternatives you mentioned to Discord, for exampl

It also speaks to a fundamentally broken development process. This sort of thing shouldn't make it through wireframe review because it breaks the core tenet of building a competitor: not fucking with your users' expectations. So

Right, because the measure of how much we should talk about injustice is how much we've talked about injustice, rather than how much injustice there actually is. Because ignoring problems is always how to solve them.

The word you were looking for is neurodivergent. He was pointing out that you made a common linguistic error, and you barfed out a novel rather than investigate that you might've been wrong or misspoke.

Hard to say it's a good sell coming from React when the component API has been twice-replaced by better options in the React world. This looks awfully tedious to use.
