I would ask myself: do I personally like these people enough to be courteous? Or, is it professionally useful to me to be courteous? Probably no, so, I'd be out. Also a good opportunity to highlight how it's weird to be fired whil

It also means no human thought it was worth their time to voice the video. Not a good so sign.

The question isn't a way to know the future. It's to gauge whether they have thought about the future. Easy to pass, but red flag for a fail.

There's a huge industry of bootcamps and certificates clammering for your money. Don't. Unless a specific job you want needs a specific certificate, don't pay for them. Your employer probably should pay anyway. Make a nice

Indeed. When I was a high school teacher, I saw kids fail estimation skills like #10 badly. You don't want technical teams doing that. I've also seen people fail #8 in interviews for junior positions. They can't introspect. I

I'm not sure if you've ever interviewed software interns, some just first or second year undergrads. Making those questions AI proof is significantly harder. The coding questions must be very easy. I wrote about that here, with ex

Of course they can. They've proven themselves very capable. The question is: where does this sit on their list of literally thousands of tasks to do?

Yes. I can confirm this worked on a non rooted phone in Canada. GUI settings were being ignored. I think the first alert I confirmed not getting was for a weather warning 500 km away.

I was offered a job that had no filter questions and I declined because of that. They were clearly hiring goofballs into senior positions.

Not sure if your question is rhetorical but... lots of people get a SE degree just to earn money and they don't even like programming. They still end up earning lots of money.

I think you're missing the fact that most people cannot write as professionally as ChatGPT and are therefore denied justice and opportunities because they cannot social signal as well as others.

I made https://www.chesscraft.ca which has made 50-200$ a month, mostly donations, for a few years. I like games but hate almost all mobile games, IAP and ads monetization, and how brainless the industry is. I looked for single

To me the best filter questions have these features: 1) Obvious: If the question is failed, even a non-technical hiring manager understands how bad this is. 2) Fast: Quick to ask, quick to answer. Everyone agrees in advance that if it'

That's an interesting approach and question. I think I might use that. Thanks!

Sounds like you're thinking about filters the wrong way. You're not finding gold, you're quickly filtering out the poop. > I don't care if someone can answer FizzBuzz .... All that can be learned. Of course. But... so

I love how you asked people to share a smart summary and analysis, but all you got was hackernews comment pontifications. Folks: pretty sure they meant a researched article that takes longer than a poop to write. I'm interested in this

When you summarize the argument as just the "past", you're rounding off the actual error. Most often when people say "nobody wants to work anymore" they're not talking about the entire historical past. They&#x2

GIMP is great, I use it all the time. I wish they would change their name so it could have more mainstream acceptance.

My wife recently went back to school for civil engineering. They must take one programming course, in matlab. So we have this community of academic go-getter students who've never programmed before, suddenly working hard to learn about

Great approach - build first for yourself but with others in mind. Don't listen to the flood of critics online. Instead find trusted friends and colleagues who have your best interests at heart when they give feedback. Best of luck.

"are fully verified as error-free" If you think this is possible you must not be a very good software engineer. Maybe that was your point. If so, you should say "I accept faulty human drivers but will forever reject anything

> Shouldn't providing down payment legally guarantee to buy a service at original said price? Why would it? What does your contract say? It sounds like you just gave a company your money and got nothing legally binding in exchange.
