Fighting fire is no reason to be sad of if you are in control. I recently quit because I was fighting too many fires, was underpaid and was not in control of things. I'm not sure about your pay structure, but if you are a CTO you defin

I think 1. matters a lot here. If you do have sufficient funds to go by a few months, I don't see why you can't get a fresh job if you quit without an offer. I've done this before and am in a similar phase but working on my o

Couldn't agree more. Just selling the "Wow" factor. In reality, most talks are baseless, same with startups. Some do manage to make millions just by selling the "Wowness". A whale buys the product and dumps it.

It's even worse if your messaging was not off and you did not reply. That shows the ethical ground you stand on. No matter how many applicants you have to reply to. 100 is not a big number anyways!

Welcome to the age where people only think about writing software and releasing fast, and frameworks allowing to do just that. Then you see people trying to solve problems like N+1 query. I look 10 years back where there were not many frame

I try to keep my carbon footprint low. I don't have or want to own a vehicle. I mostly walk or take public transportation.

Programming is about typing less, writing small and smart code that is hard to break and requires thinking. I never understood why fast editing in vim matters for good programming. You can pretty much do copy paste, replace or refactor usi

Is it you who is defining the legitimacy here ? Let's not ask questions that would lead to proving something like x^n + y^n = z, only when n = 2. In order to show this is true you have to show it is not true for all n up to infinity.

1-2 hour interview, if you can't know the person in that time then you suck at interviewing. During that you can ask some conceptual problem solving questions, resume questions. Please trust the resume, if you find someone lying you ca

I've been in the industry a while and if a company/recruiter uses tools like HackerRank for recruitment, I simply ignore them and decide not to move forward. I think we as a software industry have been following a bad hiring pract
