On the one hand I get where Equifax is coming from. I’ve had coworkers before with multiple full-time jobs and only a very few can pull it off without it seriously impacting their expected productivity. The answer to this in that specific c

Nah this is true. They don’t pay businesses directly but they’ll pay the software provider. The software provider will change their terms of service as innocuously as possible, get clients to acknowledge it. They’ll even add an opt-out opti

I spend a lot of time in vscode. So I started keeping notes in vscode. I push my notes to github to access them from my phone. I change file extensions from .md to .old.md to hide old notes. What am I really missing here?!

It essentially means everything goes on the same partition, which for the scenario in question was exactly what we wanted. Not everything needs to be hyper-scalable, and usually there’s an amount of overhead associated with making things so

Funny, I was just last week having an argument with one of our team leads. I'd told him to create a specific container without a partition key (which I wouldn't recommend except in certain circumstances), and he said he couldn&#x2

Why not both? Even much smaller organizations tend to have low-impact teams that could be absorbed by others and their work deprioritized. If you're going to fire a dozen managers then the implication (or at least possibility) exists t

If I understand correctly this can be solved with much less complexity via something like snowflake to guarantee ordering consistency. There are of course dozens of ways to achieve consistency across nodes, and a blockchain is one such solu

I would use whatever back-end you’re most comfortable with. For me that’s probably C#, but any solid language will do. I also recommend considering something like GraphQL for your API interface as it will reduce the amount of times you have

Maybe, but in some (many) cases you’d be better off spending the time developing your general knowledge of whatever it is you are working on to the point of solving your problem. This will not only solve your problem but also make you a bet

Convention is to keep it in the top left. All the stock apps will use more or less the same navigation dock up top for back and other functions. Often apps will be rejected for not providing this kind of functionality predictability. This w

I can still remember a lot of my early code (and much of it is still running in some form 15 years later). As I’ve grown and gained more responsibility I spend a lot more time on concepts and design than on particulars, and I think that act

Once you get out of the big cities there is a big drop-off. The last 3 years have brought a bit of balance but the gap is still large. Where I live 200k is a CEO salary, and there’s a lot of resistance to going above that for other employee

It does, but you can still establish “this is night” and feed the baby in a very low-stimulus (dark, no talking, keep them swaddled, etc.) environment for those night feeds. That “dream-feed” is basically just eating, checking the diaper an

Any sleep-training that doesn’t begin with teaching the baby to self-soothe is bound to be a lot of work for the parents. If you perform this task for your child then you will inevitably end up repeating it whenever they stir during their s

I hear this. I think much of my early frustrations in programming were things a decent debugger or intellisense would have quickly taught me. That said, having worked with a bunch of folks who got the big nice IDE right away, what I am noti

Not personally into crypto much, but wouldn’t proof-of-identity for those who want to vote be enough? Those who simply want to use the system (to send/receive) need not disclose themselves, but those participating in the ledger ought t

I have had to answer a lot of these questions before, but not for a potential hire. These are the kinds of questions auditors tend to ask during due diligence of a software org (especially the “give me time estimates” type questions). Usual

It’s healthy to grieve things we regret. Let yourself feel that loss and process it. If you’re struggling to do so, then seek professional help, because nobody here can really give you personally-relevant advice. For the future, dig into yo

I don’t mind people saying hello, but also would prefer they then go ahead and state their need. I don’t always respond right away, and often times by the time I get around to answering the need is gone or the person is unavailable. I defin

Programming and, even more so, software engineering are _trade skills_. There will ALWAYS be “cheaters” but you will know them by the end product of their work. Yes, it’s important to understand the fundamentals. An unwillingness to learn t

Some kids (and adults) literally aren’t capable of impulse control. It’s actually nice to be able to hand that control over to somebody else in some cases. And, as a parent if I know my child struggles with this it would be negligent of me

My Dad used to tell this one, but the punchline was "because fish can't eat ice cream!" Thanks for taking me back in time :)

I don’t think based on what I’m reading here that this is a criticism of coding during interviews so much as it is a criticism of candidate-hostile atmospheres in general. I’d also point out that social interactions are predicated on judgin

Edit: nevermind, you already wrote about this elsewhere. Leaving the below here for context. I'm curious, is this more of a social block or is it specifically the work medium (e.g. a whiteboard) that gets you blocked? I personally woul

I mean, sure, if you boycott the question you probably won't move on. But I'm not sure I want to work with someone unwilling to be curious or participate in problem-solving together. To me this filter is a positive effect of the t

I can’t speak for anybody who made you an offer, of course, but often these kinds of problems are just another way to witness first hand how the candidate goes about solving problems. Failing to solve the problem given a short window of tim

There are entire books of the New Testament devoted to assurance of salvation. I find this sentiment I described commonplace in my area of the world (Florida, US).

It isn’t. A primary tenet of Christianity is to identify with Christ, mainly through suffering. Much the way a workout can be rewarding in and of itself (e.g. the runner’s high), the suffering of sacrifice can be its own reward if given in
