I guess I'm generally going off of an interviewee's body language, which isn't entirely fair since I'm not a mind reader. And I'm sure I'm missing some cases of stage fright, which is why again I mentioned all

I’ve hired people who have not passed the coding screen (but did pass subsequent interviews) and they’ve been some of my best hires. But the type of failure really matters. Did they write generally correct code but ran out of time because t

It’s definitely not an exact science. 1. I try to make the parameters of the interview as friendly as possible — language of their choice, don’t have to worry about code style or computational complexity, or talk while they’re coding, just

Generally you don’t get all the resumes at once, this is literally the secretary problem. Unfortunately you need some objective standard of measurement across candidates that is static over at least months, and ideally takes a minimum of yo

There’s a lot of startups purporting to bring hard science to market but most of them are incompetent or snake oil and it’s very difficult for software engineers (or investors) to identify the diamonds in the rough with 0 domain expertise.

Yep. It was also an amazingly natural way to learn to code. Gen Z has a lower barrier to entry than before for creating just about every form of multimedia content except games — I’d love to see someone build a fully integrated, easy-to-lea

Yes, one of the founders is a coder who developed RSI and couldn’t find a good tool. In a form of UX bootstrapping, I’m pretty sure the product is being used to build itself

Oops, can’t believe I mistyped this, thanks. Should have had coffee today

by salt-licker 7y ago
Yep, I almost never drink coffee more than 3 days in a row because it loses its affect. Luckily, intolerance comes back after only a day or two off.

100% this. In some I think I can see recognizable images (a car? A bird? A human face?) bizarrely decomposed and distorted. Combined with the manically meticulous, not-quite-repetitive patterns and discolorations, the pieces have a distinct

Yes, I agree the language should be compiled for performance, types enable compiler optimizations and it would be silly to abandon that benefit. By “scripting language” I mean the syntax will be similar to existing interpreted languages and

I think languages which bolt some trait / generic / role system onto an object-oriented system are generally a bit too bloated, non-opinionated, and confusing. Typeclasses not only encourage an elegant separation between data and

Many veteran cyclists I know treat red lights as stop signs. It can be safer and better for the flow of traffic to get a head start on the cars stopped at the red light rather than jockeying with them for road space out of the gate when the

To clarify, I believe in allocating work based on competence, and even incentivizing such behavior when necessary with some monetary reward, which our current markets do an okay job at. By “meritocracy” I mean the idea that it is morally ju
