I used to name projects of funny names, but then I started realizing that I had no idea what other people's cute names were for their projects. We have one in our company named right now named Harbinger, neat name... but wtf is it? Bor

My favorite interview experience was when I passed a live coding exercise on Monday and had time to optimize, then completely failed the exact same problem on Friday with a different company because my nerves hit me.

Please don't move the goalpost. My comment was responding to your comment about average tenure, not unions specifically. You didn't raise any questions on how unions played into average tenure or provide any example of how they co

Its employee choice. People get bored, they get tired of processes, and there are plenty of companies willing to hire them that will allow them to try something new, do something different, and deal with different processes.

Maybe unionization needs a disrupt? I'm not against unionization in a lot of industries, but it just doesn't make sense in its current form for the tech scene or any other high demand position. It feels like an outdated mechanism

That could have been it, but when they pivoted they had a very complete beta product. Probably more to do with investor pressure or something along those lines. I think Blue Mars was started when there was a huge surge of them after Second

There was an up and comer a few years back called Blue Mars, that was shaping up to be something really cool. It allowed content creators a great deal of control over their virtual landscapes. But, for some reason they abruptly changed dire

Well, we went through the transition at my last job so I kind of have some incite. We had 3 or 4 people on my project who had came over from Invision, who are a fully remote company and I have a good friends at other well known fully remote

Having people work remote in a non-remote culture is a completely different experience than working with a fully remote culture. If the entire team/division/org doesn't fully embrace it, it usually just doesn't work. Tha

Also generates less clicks. I probably wouldn't have clicked this if it said "most job cuts in a quarter since 2015". I also feel like the scale of this graph makes this look a lot worse than the numbers indicate.

If you ask questions that are relative to the job and something you might run into or someone asking you for help, then that is different. But, I've personally never been asked these kinds of questions in a live coding/whiteboardi

Is it amazing that they can't do them at all, or they can't do them in the spotlight in a totally unfamiliar? I have a strong feeling that most of the people you think fall in the former are actually in the latter. Yes, the solu

Sorry, but I don't see how this is relevant to what the other person said. Important or not, if you're too tired for sex then wtf are you going to do with an infant?

I mean, the iPhone was kind of the only good smartphone that was actually a "smart phone", when it came out. There was nothing even remotely comparable until they were a few years into Android. I remember even the first few lines

Redux definitely adds an extra layer of complexity to a project and a lot more boilerplate. That is what lead to Dan's famous blog post "You Might Not Need Redux" from 2016. https://medium.com/@dan_abramov&#x2

My favorite ships are faction frigs and T1 Cruisers/BCs, by far. They are the most fun to fly and if you pick your fights you'll easily beat bling.

You're making some kind of distinction of a web developer just being someone who splices designs in Dreamweaver or something. It's not. Every web developer or frontend engineer I've ever worked with in the last decade has bee

A lot of places' wait staff can make fairly decent money. They will usually make below minimum wage, but they often come out way ahead. So at some level, most businesses where you're expected to tip are using tips to subsidize wag

IHOP will adjust wages based on tips, they try to equal it out to minimum wage. My wife lasted about 3 weeks there. It was also by far the hardest I've ever seen her work, and for context we met in the Army.

Small stores in rural areas are overpriced, understocked, regularly have expired products, and often close around 6pm. I've literally ran into store owners in Walmart who buy things there and just mark them up 2-3x. But to be fair, the
