These questions should definitely be part of the interview process, but not all of it. I've done a lot of these kinds of interviews and I've definitely seen candidates that speak impressively but fail basic technical tests. If you

See also Skim (fzf-a-like written in Rust): https://github.com/lotabout/skim I like the result ordering better than fzf, and it has a neat interactive mode.

I made a JS/Electron based clone of nvALT a while back. Easier to hack on than an Objective-C codebase: https://github.com/wincent/corpus But the node ecosystem has its own problems. I like the idea of doing every

The very first factual claim in the article is wrong: "The most basic usage is: git reset useful_func.clj This will replace the useful_func.clj in the current working directory with the last committed version in the repository HEAD.&qu

Is there any way I could add a button to my projects that would route "sponsorship" to a charity? Because I have a full time job, I do open source for fun, and I want to keep it that way — taking sponsorship would make that harder

Interesting technical work, great peers, good comp. If you are a user, it's good to work on something that you use. If you're in the front-end space in particular, its exciting to work on things that have significantly changed the

JSON isn't my favorite format, but it's not surprising that it is so widely used in the JS world because you can trivially read and write it using only JS and Node built-ins.

I used to use YouCompleteMe with Vim, then switched to deoplete on Neovim, because deoplete was easier to extend without having to maintain a fork and the user experience was pretty much the same. I briefly tried out Coc but didn't fin

It's true that it can be a lot of effort. But it is amortized over time. I personally don't tell anybody to run out and install tmux + vim — they'd either spend countless hours configuring it, or they'd grab an out-of-th

At my job we use tabs, but elsewhere I've always used spaces. Rather than installing yet another plug-in, I use a Vim autocmd that checks to see whether I'm in a company repo, and if I am, it applies some overrides. Links: - Autoc

I think Incognito tabs have always been this way in Chrome for as long as I remember (all currently open ones share a session). If you close all of them, the next one you open will be a clean slate.
