This is such an adversarial read of things. Some companies do offer employees to quit in exchange for some compensation. It's win-win, the company reduces costs and the employee doesn't work at a place they don't want to be a

I think at least from sales orgs, bonuses are very easy to justify. Sales orgs are very data-driven – typically their CRMs measure everything from the time it took to close a deal to how much each rep brought in a quarter. If just paying a

Sadly that's how incentives works in modern sales orgs – BDRs get paid on the number of calls they convert to the next stage and you were a guaranteed conversion since you already knew and wanted to buy the product.

I had to look up the hack people used to do back in the day to have their cheap sennheiser basically become a model that's $100 more ( https://hackaday.com/2011/02/12/uncrippling-lower-model-spea... ). Tha

This must depend on where you live in the city – just yesterday we had massive fog in the morning and at night in the sunset.

Yeah it feels like people forgot about the Sony Rootkit DRM ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk... ) that ended up exploited by malware.

They actually give you fine-grained permissions, down to the single repo access level – but only if you build a Github app. OAuth app don't offer that unfortunately and I assume are considered a bit "legacy".

Yeah, that makes sense!

How would you check that across accounts if you had per-user salts though?

Thank you! Basically, it gives you your own private GitHub repo to do the takehome. Once the time is up, you lose access to it and the reviewer is notified that it's ready to review.

by vorador 5y ago
Yeah that's fair! As a candidate I've enjoyed takehomes in the past because I was able to dip out easily if the project was clearly not doable in the alloted time. It's a bit harder to pull that off in an in-person interview.

Hi Connor! Thank you! I haven't considered universities – to be honest I'm focusing on making the interviewing flow as smooth as possible and from what I've heard proctoring tools are pretty intrusive (they want you to instal

Thank you! To answer your question about building support for later stages – possibly? I chose to focus on what brought me the most value, screening candidates early in the process. I haven't heard of companies but basing their whole i

by vorador 5y ago
Thank you for the kind words! I think it depends. When I was a hiring manager I offered candidates the choice between takehomes and a regular interview and about 50% took the takehome. The key to a good takehome was to not be too long and r

by vorador 5y ago
Yeah that's a good point! At most of the companies I've worked at we came up with our own coding problem so we just needed the infrastructure to run the takehome. I'll take a note of this and see if it comes up in customer fe

Hi HN – I’m Karim, the creator of Fairlane. I built this because as a hiring manager I found out the hard way that take-home projects were way better than any other way to screen candidates. I know some people here are very against take-hom

Genuinely curious, what's so bad about the original code that it adds an attack vector?

Genuine question, what do we get out of adopting IPv6? I remember being told for years that we'd run out of IP addresses (which hasn't happened thanks to NAT). What are the advantages of IPv6 from a practical standpoint?

Sorry, I'm using the OPs parlance here – by PWA I think he means "JS apps that use advanced browser APIs". The typical concern is that a phisher will use to make a page that looks like Google's sign-in page and display i

If you look at the features that Apple lags on adding support for, usually it's either because: 1. they can be abused (PWAs) 2. are complex to implement (WebRTC – for the longest time the recommendation in the WebRTC community if you w
