Can you show me a linter or a unit test that would reject that code?

It's not really a theoretical question though. It's a very concrete example of the most common operation you would need to perform in a front end developer role. And none of the applicants we've seen have side projects or cod

When you first encounter it sure. After you've been writing code for more than a few months I would expect you to have mastered it. If you don't understand the fundamental behavior of a for loop after ten years of professional exp

This is what we've resigned ourselves to, but it's very expensive. We're building crud apps, not doing cutting edge research, so I assumed we would be able to find someone that is already up to speed on the language and frame

`if i<3: continue; if i==3: break;` is what a for loop does. You don't have to manually control it.

We've had several sit-downs. The problem with a low-skilled senior developer is you'll never convince them that they are writing junior-level code. It would shatter their world view.

You're correct. The problem is that the positions we have open are for front end developers, and for a variety of reasons (mostly that the scale of complexity on the front end has increased so rapidly that the industry still has a lot

They usually answer confidently right away. It's one thing if you're nervous in interviews, it's another if someone asks you a novice-level question about your area of expertise and you give an answer that is objectively wron

No, that's why I said "before anyone says we're not paying enough...". There are team members making $2xxK/year here, and we're not in a coastal city. The problem we have is that almost every person that comes

You jest, but the for loop example is now in our pre-screening questions!

The crux of the problem is that we've interviewed dozens of applicants and none of them have been able to pass the sniff test. We are setting the bar pretty low, but the average skill level of the people we've had access to is sho

There's also the shifting of high school curriculum over time. I don't have kids so I haven't kept up with it, but from what I've picked up in the news maths education has changed radically in the 30 years since I was in

How does a guided bullet work? I always thought that was one of those perpetually ten years away kind of things.

you can use `position: sticky`[0] for that, but the last time I tried it table support was spotty. That was back in 2012 though, so I imagine that things have improved since then. [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US&#x2F

This is an annoying trend; it's true that row lines add a lot of noise that distracts from the content, but you should use color and value to reduce the dominance of the table lines, not remove them altogether.

Aside from the semantic HTML movement, they're clunky and verbose, more difficult to break up into reusable components, and table rendering is more expensive than the equivalent layouts with non-table elements and CSS (at least that wa

Isn't hierarchy intrinsic to power?

That's what I've been doing, but it's a pain in the butt to commit and push every time I make an edit.

Can you expand on the connection between linq and monads? I have a friend that's a long time .net developer and I've been trying to explain some of the benefits of FP, but we lack a common language to discuss the concepts. Also, d

If you are using react/redux it would be a rather trivial matter of defining an action/state tree contract between the teams. Other frameworks that use encapsulated state may have to resort to a message bus. Edit: I misunderstood

From personal experience, Tableu has saved my team countless hours adding reporting features to our products just because some middle manager on another team got a hair in their butt, so I can see the value.

It means if you make more than an average income in your area, spend as much as you would if you had an average income and save and invest the rest.

Here is some constructive feedback. A few things that I wanted to see when I looked at the website: a "how it works" page with technical information; an explanation of how multi-environment templates with deployment pipelines work

Making edits to scenes in movies during post production, cutting out mistakes in broadcasts... I'm sure video production professionals could easily come up with dozens of use cases.

I agree those terms are antiquated, and I suggest "developed" and "developing" instead.

Check out QMK, and any of the many many keyboards that support it. Every single aspect of the keyboard is programmable, down to the LED animations (it also supports super and hyper). Welcome to your new and expensive hobby. :)

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I am so excited by this. I have always kept my developer log in vim, and I basically run my life from it, but I've always wanted inline preview, a system wide hotkey, and cross platform file sync that do
