Sounds like architects applying for coding position ?

Not really for me. Maybe I have a good bullshit detector. And the method I describe above is the only good thing about recruiting. I also like to look at code samples and commit messages if possible. They have to be good communicators.

Hahha no. But there are definitely similarities. There has to be chemistry in the team. I've worked on teams where one guy is a social dud. It drained the team to work with him. That hurts morale.

But were they a cultural fit? I've come to learn that , for me, a cultural fit is as important as skill. If the guy I hire has awesome cultural fit but lacks the skill, then we work to bring him up. Good cultural fit means I'm mor

Get them to tell stories. I'm a YUUUUUGE Belieber (see what I did there?) in the power of stories. It breaks the ice, and gets both parties into a rhythm of exchange. With the CV as a "script" I try to get people to tell me

Do you think there is a level of political correctness that people cannot pierce in "polite conversation?" I feel that this is the case in Sweden. There are so many topics of discussion that are taboo that people avoid them. And,

purely organic. no advertising or social media promotion. My stuff lives in the Zazzle store. Just like in all the other marketplaces. For certain items to do optimize the keywords and headlines to make them a little "click-baitish&quo

"But you are a single data point, and that does not prove anything" :-) My guess is that you are not a practicing Jew active in a community in Europe or the Middle East. If you were I doubt you would have this point of view. I kn

Agree with @acesubido on the ebooks. In fact, I would abstract this to any intellectual property that you can put into a marketplace. (books, apps, designs, etc). I have an old account at Zazzle.com where I throw up funny sayings and design

Yeah, right. With all due respect, that is bullshit. Say this to the Jewish community in Malmo, Sweden. The violence they have suffered at the hands of violent Islam is not a statistical anomaly. Say this to the Jewish community in Copenhag

You may be officially "at work" for that time in Sweden, but there are the countless fika breaks. I believe Swedish law calls for a minimum 5 minutes break per hour? (Not mandatory but an entitlement)

Kind of foreshadowed in 5th Element when the Chinese Junk restaurant is serving food to Corbin Dallas at the window in his apartment.

In Sweden there are the Roma/gypsy population who have smartphones but certainly don't have Swedish bank accounts. This is also true for many expats. Including other Scandinavian nationals. Americans have an especially tough time

House of cards. Cashless societies mean: the unbanked are further isolated and prevented from engaging in commerce. Older generations are left behind. Just trying to switch bankid login from old phone to new phone is a PITA, and I'm te

My guess would be that the Dems openly use more tech, thus giving them a much larger attack surface. I.e.- more opportunities for an attacker to exploit.

I use graylog, and docker can ship logs using the GELF format. Furthermore, I've got my graylog setup running from a customized docker-compose.yml file, and this thing sings.

For Austin you can try Refresh Austin and Tech404 (Atlanta) slack channels. http://slack.refreshaustin.org/ http://tech404.io/ I believe there is one for Atlanta as well.

Cool that you can do that with cardboard, but $120 is a bit steep. I'm sure you could get the cost down with volume, but how low, really, can get you go? Wouldn't it be better to have something that would sit on top of a desk (and

Disagree here. This is what the right hand man/woman is for. My guess is that there is a real cultural problem not only in the Democratic Party but also with hillarys organization(s). Dissent and speaking truth to power is squelched wh

The article title seems a bit unfair, especially given how well trump has played in social media and the ever changing "news feed." Just because people are printing news articles does not make them a Luddite. I imagine many broadc

Good to see they are moving forward, but I have a working rig at the moment with virtual box. "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it" is a motto I live by. Better it's your blood on the bleeding edge rather than mine
