The point of fizz-buzz was to serve as a simple filter at the front end of the interview process. It should be simple, but a surprising number of job candidates were unable to do it.

I've always been afraid of pairing. I don't know how well others would appreciate my periods of daydreaming followed by periods of hyper-fixated focus.

When your team owns an application you have no background knowledge in, and it uses a technology that you haven't touched since you attended a training 18 months ago; I would assume that your on-call response for any non-trivial issue

I find it ironic that the article itself was edited after the initial posting, per the disclaimer at the bottom. If Netflix added such a disclaimer in the credits of the episode, would that make it more acceptable to the author?

I would recommend looking at the company's culture. I've seen similar situations where the services team were treated as second-class citizens. What opportunities for advancement are recognition are there? Are they comparable t

To practice being in a relationship. To gain a better understanding of what you want in a relationship. It is one thing to have a bad significant other as a teenager, it is totally different to have a bad spouse.

Many years ago I interviewed at a military contractor. Every time we walked through a work area someone went ahead and announced I was coming through to ensure nobody had something that would require a clearance to see.

I am glad it works for you. Maybe (hopefully?) I have just had an abnormal experience.

In my experience, pair and mob programming are just yet another scenario where neuro-atypical people are punished for approaching their work differently.

I have long thought that pair programming and open offices were yet another way of punishing anyone who is neuro-atypical.

Des Moines offers residential tax abatement on new construction and home improvements from renovation, a deal very similar to what Apple is receiving.

I use a cycling poncho, fenders, and chain guard. I only ride about 3 miles, but even in the worst weather I only get wet from about mid-shin down, and even then only enough to be bothersome in the worst weather.

Ouch! I feel the fool. Revised thoughts. It would only be 10 billion, which would equal two years of payouts for the entire pension.

Also, in 2008 and 2009 California did not fully pay pension contributions. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527023048301045751722...

I'll just throw for the opposing side and point out that "Gov. Pete Wilson, took $1.6 billion from CalPERS accounts in 1991 to help close a state budget gap". A random internet calculator tells me that investing in the S&amp

You could also just use better brake pads. Then add full fenders with a rain cape. I only get wet from about mid-shins and down.

I have done this and have done interviews I did most of the questioning as the interviewee. In my experience, this approach turns off a lot of people.

There is a lot of middle ground between the valley and rural Indiana. Depending on how you drove to get there, the northern route would take you through Salt Lake City, just north of Denver, Omaha, Des Moines, and just south of Chicago. A

One question/concern I have always had -- Do you have multiple feature flags in place at once? How do you avoid the combinatoric increase in possible configurations? If you have feature A and B, what happens if A is turned on first?

I might be too late for this one, but: Daily exercise To-do list for EVERYTHING. If it isn't on the list I don't get it done. Time-boxing and frequent breaks. Work a single task for 30 minutes. Then switch to something else or

One question I have - were the high-tech wizards paid standard gsa rates? https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/GS35F5457H/0LUS2P.2NVK... Page 25. Top developer rate for 2014 is $99/hr which requires 10 year

I'm pretty skeptical of charts like this. On the y axis, the scales aren't relative. The gain on the black line before the drop is about 187% (200 - 375). The gain on the red line is 132% (12400 - 16400). On the x axis, there

I think that either I misread this article or some of the other posters have. The author isn't talking about shipping a product, the author is talking about delivering code to production.

A to-do list for everything. If it isn't on a list then it isn't getting done. In addition to timers, I try to have to things I'm working on. That way I can switch back and forth. Work in bursts and then take a break fo
