No. Not at all. You could even have a conversation broaching some of these topics in a more casual way and tell if the candidate knows what he's talking about in a lot of cases. Heck, even answers about function arguments could be an

I've never once had a company ask for a code sample. What's the point in that? Lazy lame candidates will just go copy something off the internet.

The problem with interview questions like this is that it looks for code-monkeys. I'd maybe have questions like this if I were hiring an expert consultant to crank out some short-term JavaScript for me, but for filling a slot on the t

Did you read the article? They give a lot of reason about the difficulty of navigating/surviving the death zone.

For a distribution/curation thing, I just prefer everyone write their own articles/content on their own website, and then have something like Hacker News, Retweets, Kottke, FB, Flipboard, etc...to float the good things to the top.

Haaa....I hate me, too. Seriously, though, we do it all the time. Successfully. We even write skeleton code, and have other people finish it off, or take the half-baked idea and implement it properly. Sometimes in this sprint, sometimes in

This assumes that you knew that the code was once there, and where it was. Working on a team with partially implemented features with planned future hooks, it's just easier to keep the intent in the live code (hopefully with some good

I played their new card game Hearthstone for a few minutes. Not really sure why it's not a tablet game by default. Maybe I didn't play long enough to appreciate some of the graphics/transitions, etc. But the gameplay seemed

Don't forget the dependency injection pattern that Angular uses all over the place. That smells like Java, too. :)

I think you're both right. I have been a T-Mobile customer for 10+ years. I have probably better coverage while in a city, like Boston, than anyone I know. I also have some pretty bad coverage when I go up to Vermont. So, if you stay i

Counter point (thought not arguing against what the actual article content contained, which "was we tried that idea years ago, but failed"). I've been contacted by investors before to look at business plans/technology.

Getting my app to run was the hard part, not the Mono libraries itself. Even on OS X, it was pretty straightforward to get the libraries on there. But once you started needed ASP.NET MVC, specific database drivers and setup, it become non

Having a live preview is pretty nice when you start getting into slightly more complicated documents? Especially when you start working in specific markdown varients, like github, table addons, code, etc...

I've tried working with Mono on my Mac. Meh. You loose a big part of the eco-system of third-party libraries because almost every program I've written uses a ton of third-party libraries. When ever you google soething on C#, you

In reading that he's the money guy, is he really not holding up his side of things? What's he specifically not doing, that he should be? It's hard to read between the lines to know if he's really not keeping up his end.

This is true. But there are a lot of devs interested in combining the ease and speed of dynamic language syntax with the robust compilation of a static language... This will be a popular topic for awhile, I believe, because the JVM isn'

For me personally, if they weren't running in the JVM, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The JVM is key for many as operational stability trumps developer finger-candy. It's an easy sell to add a language change it, whe

I'm not a Clojure programmer, but I have an interest in things that run on the JVM. I went through this semi-quick guide to get an overview of how the language and syntax works: EDIT: actually this was the link I meant to post. It was
