You could say you're using a special pre-processor to parse any incorrect syntax before compilation. Might get a laugh and some brownie points!

Interesting. Do you do this with all hires, or just junior candidates e.g. recent graduates, those having taken bootcamp classes, or migrated over from another discipline e.g. "I used to be in Marketing but now I'm a growth hacker

Cry me a river AirBnb. Why not just give the candidate a programming problem, a real computer (maybe no internet, but all tools and documentation installed), and an hour or two to solve the problem? You can monitor their computer screen rem

In Hong Kong, Asia's richest billionaire, Mr Li Ka-Shing of Cheung Kong Holdings, owns nearly everything. Anything you do or touch in a day makes Mr Li even richer. His wealth is opaque so he is probably right up there with Bill Gate

Yep. I know this sounds harsh, and this is pure conjecture on my part, but the way I see it is that Marissa Mayer is on a 5 year contract and after that she is out of there, regardless of what state Yahoo is in. If the company is a mess in

Can't believe that employees would actually complain about their work by posting "on an internal message board for anonymous feedback". If it's anonymous, I have a bridge to sell you!

Has there been any kind of official response from Bittorrent about this? Are they planning on open sourcing the code at a later date or have they simply kept quiet this whole time, hoping the issue will go away?

You're right, there aren't enough great engineers out there. I'm just wondering if the direction of the company is an impediment to hiring the best. Check out the reviews of Pages 5, which has been dumbed down. If the visio

At the end of the day, the engineers that I personally know who contract at Apple are competent but not great. They happen to commute. The two are not related. There is no insinuation in the original post that all engineers who commute a

Actually I thought you were trolling by saying people I know are delusional because they refer to Cupertino as being in South Bay (which is obviously just a subregion of the Bay Area). Another poster is getting upset because I wrote "

Rest assured, my definition of "Bay Area" is the same as yours. One poster, for whatever reason, didn't like me using the phrase "commute to Cupertino from the Bay Area every day" . My Edit to that poster should ha

Rather than providing opinion about the quality of some of the engineers working at Apple, you're nit-picking about the semantics of the term "Bay Area" and how people use it (nobody in SF I know says they're taking the

People in San Francisco who are going on the commute on the 101 don't say "I'm going to the Bay Area today" - they say "I'm going to South Bay today". People always orient around themselves. People living

Yep. What real innovation has there been on Mac OS X since Bertrand Serlet left? Where are all the adult engineers? I've met a few people now who are contracted by Apple to work on their customer facing Apps. They commute to Cupertino
