That would be very weird to misunderstand this. I get it's stressful during interview, but "number" and "hexadecimal", as well as "F" all points exactly to 10, not 'G'. It cannot be taken two way

But look at it that way: a candidate that didn't practice before the interview, is either not so interested, a bit dull about basic human interaction or cannot even understand what an interview is. It's honestly like coming to an

Depends, I don't think you care all that much about coding skills. You don't want a cripple, but you want a diva even less. You can take a learning developer with an amazing passion for learning, and building shit while you must r

The $500 MRR is an interesting selling point, for sure. See yourself as a product you must sell to a new client, your future company. The client is made of: - A future manager - Future colleagues - HR / Upper management Each part of

But there's a difference between a public ICO and a public IPO: the ICO doesn't require transparency of the account, doesn't give legal ownership of the company's capital shares, and doesn't give a formal right of v

When the poor get poorer because of their stupidity, they don't die. They regroup, kill the rich, and take the money.

But you do realize that without the lotto, they'll go to underground poker games, underground lotto games, or drink booze. The gvt lotto was not created before people played lottery, it was invented because people want to play chance g

If I lose my visa for downsizing where I am, I can leave and go back on tourist visa, find another job and redo the work visa in 2 weeks. It's idiotic to make it hard for immigrants to get back on their feet, it's not like working

Yeah it bothers a lot of french that “globish” is english-based. I bet you my arm that if the world tried to communicate poorly in french, we would bask in the glory of our beautiful international language :D My fellow countrymen who think

Honestly nobody younger than 50 feels guilty of using words, be it email, hashtag or bacon. And older people don’t quite understand them anyway. Using courriel was somewhat funny and snobbish but people used them to be fun and snobbish, not

It’s very anglo-american to take this so seriously. For us it’s a club of old dudes who like to bask in past glories and write one of many dictionaries, that nobody reads anyway. Everyone understands french evolves with usage and must take

Usually it's not related to checking boxes. Both HR and recruiters closer to the actual work know it's not what makes a good employee (image a guy that check all the boxes but is an insufferable asshole and can't produce any
