You are taking diversity of thought comment, which I mentioned as an attribute of a team and trying to apply to an interview, which is not what I intended. Your interview processes need to ensure that you do not hire based on biases, so tha

Lack of diversity of thought is easy to spot IMO. Bigger point is - you should ensure your processes are setup to at least try to achieve the kind of diversity you would like to achieve. Those processes may still fail, just like anything el

Having unscripted conversations is one of the best way to be swayed by unconscious bias in interviews. Even though this advice sounds awesome, I will be cautious of putting it into practice without thinking through the bias problem. I do re

I have tried using fakes over mocks, but it becomes cumbersome if it is a large-ish code base with handful of developers contributing to it. Keeping expectations on what a particular Fake does gets contentious. Mocks however usually allow a

As a counter point, I was almost fired for not choosing to build a SPA for an internal app which was going to be used by 3-5 people, 5-10 times a month, if that many. I worked at large accounting software provider, and internal billing syst

Is there a common theme that can be addressed by adding restriction which can stop distribution as a cloud service in MIT/other licenses? This is a question, and not a informed opinion/suggestion.

At least as per the wikipedia page[1], there is a lag of 2 years between product and company, and there prior history of him working on similar products. So I think it is reasonable to give benefit of the doubt that open source product was

Interesting but I doubt it. Vaanaras do not appear prominently in any of epics/puranas following Ramayana. Only Hanuman is present in Mahabharata and he is clearly living a solitary life when he meets Bheem. By no means expert, so happ

I paid for bumble during the pandemic mostly to meet people closer to me who were looking for lock down buddies. Not a romantic or sexual relationship, but a platonic one using the BFF mode it offers. I did meet few interesting people aroun

That is a fair question/comment. In my original comment "Limit use of automated content moderation only for easy to solve cases like child pornography." . It is reasonable to extent that list beyond just child pornography. I

That link is pay/auth-walled for me, but I do get your point. Perhaps easy to solve was underestimate the technical problem as I was more thinking in terms of political problems. From that perspective no one, other than pedophiles them

I am only commenting on this in the context of community standards and user generated content and should not be extrapolated to all content in all other contexts.

I understand. Most of those can be achieved using privacy and sharing settings though and does not necessarily require content moderation.

My suggestion is to not indulge in any content moderation which is not illegal. Only take down content which is required by a court order. Limit use of automated content moderation only for easy to solve cases like child pornography. Why? I

Also note that these are internet companies and do no include myriad other software companies, including enterprise tech. So I am not sure if I agree with your concern on tech being reduced to 5-10 big companies.
