Having hired (and been hired) for both technical and non-technical roles, I personally prefer whiteboard coding interviews (or phone screens asking how they’d design X) to the more abstract business questions, both as an interviewer and int

Same. I would have thought the arts would be the last to move to AI. What do you put at the end of the list now? It's not trucking. Or ordering. Or anything related to porn. Eliza is 50+ years old, not actually a good replacement for a

I think the point of differentiation is that being adept at Photoshop is a relatively advanced and specialized skill. Manipulating an AI prompt to get what you want is also a specialized skill, but may require an order of magnitude or two l

We have a tool that was built by a third party. They did an excellent job but for various reasons we needed to change vendors. I didn’t hire the old or new dev teams, so it wasn’t my role to tell them how to come up to speed. Early on they

How do you think of #1 in the context of a web app? Each page is essentially a different entry point into the code. I guess the landing page or authentication page could be considered the equivalent, but I’m not sure those would hit your go

Jonathan Blow’s games are all distinctive. I’m not sure I’d call him a director. Auteur or programmer/m-director, maybe.

It's a play on Club Med (which is more of a European thing, Med being short for Mediterranean, and here Fed short for Federal, as in Federal crime/prison). I had never heard the term before today, but did appreciate its cleverness

ICANN: $0.18 Verisign (.com registry): $7.85 So that’s $8, plus credit card fees of ~$0.30 and their own hosting, ICANN fixed costs, etc. I would say $8.50 is almost definitely below break, and $9-10 probably so.

I’ve worked with a Polish dev team (in Wrocław). They were really great. However, for the same price I’d much rather work with local people. The Polish people we worked with came to California for months at a time. Being in the same time zo

Eric Schmidt was a great example of bringing in outside help to take the company to the next level. Sheryl Sandberg is another example, probably more famous mostly because I think Schmidt almost seemed like he was a founder whereas Sheryl’s

“The original headline to this story mistakenly stated that it was the first time AMD had passed Intel in market cap. In fact, it happened before in Feb. 2022.” So not really newsworthy?

Ya, he could say that. Or he could just not talk about it. He could also not go on trips and recruit Serbians to work for him. Before I got to know him, I assumed that he was the same ethnicity/religion as the huge teams he was oversee

I would argue that yes, it is more immoral. The employee that you are paying is being paid under a willing buyer/willing seller standard. It's fair to argue whether it is moral to pay people less than what you think they are worth
