I’d like a suite of selenium tests to run comprehensive tests against the app in 10 minutes. In other words want a comprehensive level of automated QA that runs fast enough to run on every CI build. ML / AI? Maybe this could guess whic

There is no such thing as “what his work product is worth” since that is highly dependent on the industry, what problems are being solved etc.

I agree but I’d much rather use Typescript for bigger projects. Admittedly this could be an old-dog brain thing: I’m used to typed languages. I feel with pure js you’d need more test coverage and better comments. My experience on larger js

Nice book. However I disagree that cryptocurrency is untraceable. In fact there is a public ledger! And law enforcement can connect dots if they subpoena exchanges or even take down exchanges entirely. Or they can do the normal cop thing an

Where did you get that idea? > A man of power, for example, often has dirty work that has to be done, but for the sake of appearances it is generally preferable to have other people do it for him; friends often do this the best, since th

Estimation. Great if you can fix (a) who is working on it (b) the visual and technical design and (c) the scope and (d) other interruptions. You can fix those things, have fully signed off design docs, have a CCN process for every little ch

That would be horrible! You’d get shortcuts taken and perverse incentives

Outside of cryptocurrency there are none. This is because it’s better to use a database: simpler, faster, more efficient. You can do crypto signing in a database or flat files if you really need proof that some actor approved something or o

JSON is probably popular because JS was popular and it’s a subset. And being a programming language that’s is typed by humans, so those special characters would not have naturally featured. For data, if we are going to use reserved characte

Live with my parents, do contracting the whole time in London, keep applying for new jobs all the time, learn tech in demand, invest all the excess money in SP500. Then spend $40 on a pizza for 10000BTC and hold that until April 2021 and se

That was a long time ago. SO has the network effects to pull this off

SO is CC at the moment IIRC - time to download it all and stick the historic stuff on a static site

Sorry I misunderstood or misread. For a weeks work you definitely want to be paid! I’d view a week trial as a knee jerk “skip this opportunity” signal.

I remember this with a newborn I spent 20 minutes on such a test. Recruiter tells me they said no because code quality so i gave it another shot spending 2 hours. Remember with multiple applications these times added up. Got to the intervie

Except for me there is a half life of about 48 hours on how detailed I can talk about that solution. This has me thinking that interviews should openly publish what types of question you’ll be asked so you can prepare. Otherwise it’s prepar

And once you are a lead you are doing less of the stuff day to day that would make you shine in a coding interview. Especially the ones where “we need a c# engineer so let’s dust off those weird exception handling edge cases again and test

Engineers are of course not a uniform thing and every role is looking for different experiences and traits, so you’ll get a lot of good engineers knocked back from interviews who go on to get a job somewhere else. This might be trite but th

Then does the candidate pay for the part of the time spent explaining the company and role?

Offering a “or we give it to charity” option would have helped I’m guessing.

I like the premise, mostly because it takes off the pressure. Just write what you think, and your contemporaries will find you!

USD cash can do this too.

Where do I experience this though? Mostly it’s transfer coins on/off exchange to convert to fiat. Some stores take crypto but it turns out more expensive and there is less choice if I restrict my stores to ones that so

Sounds like you have an interesting point but it might be too subtle for me. Can you rephrase? I take it that the “poor person” benefits from cheap imports as a consumer but might at the same time they might be poor because they can’t get a

On the tech side: My advice is try a few courses and go with the thing you love. The thing you get addicted to. Could be mobile dev, front end, hardware, building PCs, etc. There is a lot of work ahead for you to get what you want. Easiest

This is an eternal question. I’m not great at this but one thing that’s helped me is to have more than one job offer, then go with the best. By having multiple offers you can see what the market can bear. This then of course needs to be man
