   to be fair, if you don't know any version control, and aren't willing to learn it (in 2020 of all things!) then why the ever-living christ should anyone put up with that?

   Probably because it doesn't really answer the question, or add to the discussion

   I wouldn't say that's a psychological phenomenon though, just ignorance, arrogance or over-confidence.

   This is 100% not the Dunning-Kruger effect. How on Earth would it be? edit - from wikipedia: In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is.

   I think it's too ingrained in our software ecosystem / landscape as free software to bother trying to charge for it. But as other commenters have said, if you offered something of really high quality with integrations to other sof

   I'm not saying you don't screen them at all with a technical task, but it should be something representative of what your organisation does, rather than some overdone toy problem

   Sadly I don't think Two Scoops has been updated in a very long time, so it's pretty out of date now

    > But we also do a "technical interview" with some fizzbuzz stuff Why does anyone still think this is a good interview technique that provides any valuable metrics?

    Yeah ING lets you see the balance without having to log in, and sometimes it's great to just check how it's going

    This all sounds good, but how do you represent "information" on a physical level without electrical signals?

    Yeah I definitely would not pay for a podcast someone was doing because they just need an income, rather than doing it out of a passion for that particular topic. I feel like if you want to produce a podcast you should just know what you

    At a previous job we used Python for all microservices, except for 'legacy' systems which were in Groovy / Rails. That was a context switch if I ever experienced one.

    Presumably though there's change in a lot of different fields (not just CS), and it would just be up to whoever is maintaining a course to keep the tools up to date with what's used in industry. But also, how long has it been sinc

    For good clean code, check out the Thorsten Ball books - Writing an Interpreter[0] / Compiler[1] in Go [0] https://interpreterbook.com [1] https://compilerbook.com While the books are not strictly about clean co

    Yikes. Just what we need - to fix a clearly human issue with even more tech and mental overhead.

    I find Clean Code hasn't aged well either; a lot of the java-esque design patterns have been superseded with either language features (speaking as a Python/Go developer) or a better overall code architecture / structure. Havi

    It depends what type of ticket we'll be playing. If it's a bug, we'll probably write or augment an existing test that tests that "X does/doesn't happen". If it's a feature we'll start with the u

    Yeah I've got a $5 droplet as well, but I think I just hacked together Nginx + Gunicorn (without any sort of scripts)

    My favourite feature on iPhone is it telling me where my car is parked. Sometimes I go to a meetup at a local university, which is also a rats nest of roads and alleyways, and this has saved my hide multiple times

    Not too sure about Angular / JS, but instead of console.log() I'd use something that you can determine a log level for i.e. console.error / console.info / console.debug. Then you can determine what to ship out to a loggi

    Why would I want to link tests to bugs? Or track the history of tests? Or assign someone to a failing test? I've found they either fail or they pass, and you find why they failed and you fix the failure. Just genuinely curious about th

    I've found 80% to be a good number for unit tests. BUT things like integration testing and end-to-end user story testing can really make all the difference, and complement a solid unit test suite. Also focussing on the numbers can leav
