My resume is quite similar. On the bottom, I have a link to something that I'm quite proud of under a small heading titled, "Ask me about it!" I've been interviewing passively / casually for the last 18 months. I&#x

I've gone through this before. The end result was that I was quite literally dis-invited from interviewing candidates. I left that place shortly thereafter.

I'm going to ramble a bit... I grew up on a farm in the actual middle of nowhere. It was a then-defunct, mid-size dairy. In it's heyday it had 300 head of Holstein being milked. My mother, whose parents ran the dairy, and to a lar

I keep the subscription because I use it to play music for my kids (which is a use-case I haven't found a suitable replacement for). If it was just my wife and I, I'd have dropped it at least a year ago. The Android app struggles

Not a lot, 3-4 oz. covers all of your daily iodine needs and then some. I have it with my breakfast because having it later in the day can affect your sleep quality. I learned about this from listening to Stan Efferding talk about his &quot

Same story here. MAPS from frequent pull-ups. TheraBand has kept it at bay. Also switched to gymnastics rings. I also modified my programming to alternate between pullups and seal rows for 6 week training blocks, so I'm also doing hal

FWIW, I'm aware of a handful of people that work for a very large AAA game studio, nearby where I live, who are, in fact, git "experts" -- and, really, just extremely knowledgeable about version control systems, generally spe

I only touched Perl a little bit, at the start of my career in the mid-to-late 00s. I didn't hate it. For our specific use case, which was generating reports from large groups of text-based log files, it was wonderful. I'm curious

Yet it's at least as valid to me, as a parent, as some random HN commentors pet theory about white noise causing autism.
