Easier to pull the cars from the markets and have less attention be paid to the Waymo suit. Good, bad, meh reports will mention the lawsuit every time and that's a larger PR nightmare than this right now.

I've built several angular apps and I've never had this issue in any of my applications. So no, while it's so popular to shame Angular lately this isn't an Angular problem.

I'm glad to hear it. As others have said, if this was at REI or other stories and priced the same or higher I would totally grab some for when I go backpacking. In any case, I'm truly impressed by your responses in this thread. Mo

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but do you really see this company taking off? You're battling the known perception of instant coffee being awful and trying to sell a super premium product within a group that's tailored to b

It's much cheaper to buy promising talent, I mean companies than to devote resources to do your own work from the ground up.

Yes. I love to read books on a 17 hour flight instead of being able to watch TV shows, work on programming problems offline or the countless other productive things that a laptop can provide.

I feel like this could be universal. If you want to hire an experienced, production and value adding _______ be prepared to pay. It's like the phrase "You don't pay a plumber to bang on your pipes, you pay them to know where

This is the first I've heard of this. Where/what laws prohibit web scraping?

Can you give an example of something that won't "suck" to work on 15 years from now? Every legacy product I've stepped into sucks to work on, that's why people are often hating legacy code refactoring.

You should have a base awareness of the tools that your team is using. It's the same for product managers, which is why some of the best product managers come from engineering backgrounds. Do you have to be as good as your team members

Can confirm. Would take me ~15 minutes to go from 405/Santa Monica to go get coffee in Brentwood at that Starbucks that's by all those italy like shops(it's been over a year and half since I moved so spacing on the street)

I'd be surprised if there isn't a decent amount of C# somewhere in the Google ecosystem.
223.
by brogrammernot 10y ago
Agreed. So far in my search, C# leans toward Microsoft shops seeking C#/.NET whereas C/C++ has been companies searching for embedded software roles.

Great points. As a front end developer, if you're consuming APIs and building out interfaces, and passing data back to the APIs you don't have to know much about graphs or hash tables. For most web developer/front-end positio

This. Funny story(now, wasn't at the time but been a few years now). Made it to a final interview at one of the "elite" tech companies. Was interviewing for a web development position, and the second whiteboard question was a

I found Scala for Data Science by Pascal Bugnion to be great when I was learning Scala. Granted, this was for a Big Data class at the university level that was covering Spark and Scala mostly. However, I remember the book to be very clear a

I've only seen this where companies had some of their apps/infrastructure running off Rails(mostly API based stuff, minimal services etc) and were wanting to use React on the front end. I haven't seen a lot of postings either

Thank you. Developers who jump because they'd rather build from scratch instead of helping maintain and improve an existing solution is irritating. More power to them, but I respect developers a lot more who stay, fight through legacy

If the code is "beyond" what I would expect to see at the candidate's level, yes. It's merely a talking point, it becomes super clear if someone has copied/pasted code.

by brogrammernot 10y ago
Wouldn't change a thing. No sane interviewer would think you're claiming your fork of a repo is your own code. Not to mention it's mostly used as a talking point for me, so if I did make that mistake I'd be fine when you

That's rather interesting. I've actually found that reading code on someone's github or checking out their personal website is great for ruling in/out candidates. When they share their github or website, I'll view t

Hotly debated subject these days. I personally learned programming on my own, and after about two years of doing it, I went back and started taking some computer science courses in data structures, discrete mathematics, algorithms as well a

To be fair, since you're someone who uses VIM it's not really fair to compare VIM vs an IDE or Editor like sublime.

How exactly is that a principle? He wasn't forced to listen to the ads, he was able to pay to have ads removed. His principle was that he found the ad unpleasant and didn't want to hear it anymore. I'm all for fighting for wh

It is a great free service but I don't pay $5-10/month to not be able to listen to a specific song I want to hear. Pandora's model of not having that feature will always outweigh their music matching algorithm.

I've flown from LA to Boston, New York several times over the last year and I don't recall a single USB or power cord outlet. On every international flight I've taken, there has been USB power but zero power outlets in coach.

They're also the worst company I've ever had a phone screen with. I remember being told it was with a member of the technical team, and it was a technical recruiter who asked me questions straight off of a paper that made no sense

Using threading and queues where appropriate is excellent stuff. Presenting yourself as intermediate knowledge is also humble, and from your description of your background I do think you'd be able to get a back end job. I'd look a

That's not what I said. We never require front end work from someone who only wants to do back end work. My point was if you have intermediate backend programming ability with a DBA background and you're concerned about getting a
