That works for an automatic screen, but not any real interview process.

I suspect your thresholds are far too high, and that some specialties are almost mutually incomprehensible, so rare for one person to properly understand what is going on. Time is a real factor also. How long has this code base been accumu

Even without the flight risk, a 5 year resume gap is difficult, especially mid-career. Accurate or not, your hiring managers are pretty much going to assume nothing you learned in those 5 years applies, so you are awkward to place. Especi

As I understand it though, the typical way this would happen is through a new and/or separate licensing agreement (in this case for PBS, and for a different region, etc.)

Are you sure they didn't license e.g. theme songs, or backing music? That's often the source of problems with older content. It's all fixable, but may not be considered worth the effort. Sometimes not worth the effort to a

It's not that narrow - e.g. "was stricken by a sense of foreboding" You also would say panic-stricken, not panic-struck. Agree it's not universal though, helpfully, and sometimes is it "struck" in non adjectiva

Even more confusingly, if it is past participle usage, it's "stricken" e.g. "Strike it off", "I struck it off", "It was stricken off" same with drive/drove/driven One of those fun thi

Good point. Very unlikely it was licensed outside the UK even after home video started.

Sure, but I think it isn't even the more typical situation, so your presentation suggests it's far more typical than reality imo.

BBC iPlayer access is different in UK than elsewhere, right? I suspect for much of the older stuff it's licensing issues making it not worth the time to verify, in their view. Just because it's BBC production doesn't mean t

It's more partial or constrained kerning (you can't leave your "box"), and then on top of that glyphs are being scaled at the same time to take up space "left over". In a proportional font it would just be ke

It seems to be a weird mix of half-assed kerning and scaling mixed together. Perceptually, based only on playing with it a minute, it seems to improve legibility a bit (but not as much as a proportional font would be) but also visually bre

The point is it shouldn't be impressive to people in tech, more par for the course if you work 20 years and save. I was responding to the question as written. To your point though, if you do want to amass 1mm liquid quickly without

This seems a bit superficial, because it concentrates only how you communicate an instruction to people. I suspect, especially in high competence and nominally high trust environments like (much of) tech, mostly when people consider a super

This is misleadingly bimodal. There are a ton of great "builders" out there who just aren't cut out for early stage work - they want to work on a functioning team with a well defined role and clear goals/targets. This

Conservatively, working any job that lets you put 25k/year into a tax shelter like a 401k for 20 years will make you a millionaire, or at least damn close. This covers a large number of tech jobs in the US if you choose to.

And GP is pointing out (correctly) that most of the time being idiomatic has more net gain than any putative advantage of the non-idiomatic proposal. Exceptions to this are extremely rare.
