>Engaging in "lewd acts" with a romantic partner is not allowed during your stay. Sheesh. What's the point then?

It's a fine line companies walk. They want to build a cohesive company identity with aligned values and goals, but they also want diversity, which makes all of that harder. So you have these "culture fit" interviews which are

It's very difficult unless the entire company is remote. It's a very simple human bias. We feel greater connection and trust with people physically present, which naturally makes remote workers less likely to seem like a good choi

Pretty crazy Saturday evening! Got some friends crashing with me since they were in an evacuation zone. Fortunately we didn't lose power. Just enjoying a windy night.

I took it to be a comparison to Netflix. Cloud gaming is analogous to streaming movies with similar tradeoffs, the difference being that games are interactive.

I love this and can relate to it so much. This is very similar to how I ended up in the Japanese matchmaking industry. Noticed a good domain was available and ended up going on an odyssey of sorts.

I miss variety in smartphone design. Everything looks the same these days. Samsung and Apple endlessly copy each other and virtually every smartphone has the same phablet aesthetic now. I miss the variety in shapes, sizes, physical keyboard

They're fine but they need to be understood properly. Whiteboard interviews don't really capture how well someone codes. They are better at capturing thought process, high level understanding, system architecting ability, and a ca

I do the same thing all the time. It's one reason I tend to buy very large laptops.

Rejection is part of life. You lick your wounds and move on. My cofounder and I don't regret applying. We did it mostly for publicity. We already have pretty good traction and funding so the rejection doesn't really slow us down.

I went through the same issues with friends and loved ones wanting me to create a Facebook account. I resisted for years with the same arguments you made. It had some unfortunate consequences: https://news.ycombinator.com/it

This is an important point that people defending the author need to consider. I agree that hiring is a two-way negotiation. Flexibility is great. But there is a significant moral (and legal!) hazard when you let some people skip the code te

I'm a little biased as a devops guy and former SRE. When you're on call dealing with strict SLA's, your ability to make intelligent technical decisions quickly is important. I expect the guy I hire to not have to Google how t

It's an interesting idea. Phrased politely I think it's fine to suggest. Still I can understand why people would refuse your approach. There's an obvious risk involved letting the applicant dictate the terms of the evaluation

Great read. I am in a similar place with a small business. We have a commercial and animation and are considering doing YouTube ads. It sounds like it might be worth doing if the service is profitable enough per user. Really appreciate this

Totally agree with this. Been bootstrapping my own thing for a while. If it hits $5k MRR I'll be more than satisfied and probably never raise money.
