At most of the companies I’ve interviewed at (except Google as you note), the hiring manager and principal engineer didn’t understand system design themselves. They only understood how to pattern match against a regurgitated answer. Case in

Who are these people who can't hear the difference? And what sort of listen setup have you used to test this? Even my parents can hear the difference!

I worked on a project automating some parts of an Azure infrastructure for a big company. Half-way through development, JSON integers returned by Azure changed from strings to ints, back to strings. E.g., "42" became 42, then a fe

I have family in Austin, and I agree with everything in this post... Except the part about Austin being charming. I don't find anything charming about the arrogant texan attitudes, the mini-malls, and the crappy collage-town bars on 6t

I don't think Apple pays normal bandwidth fees for updates. A family member was working at a telecom company when the iphone was first announced. One of the big worries from the cell providers was all the bandwidth required to push OS

It looks like this is written in Javascript with C backend components. I would never trust giving root to a web service written in C. If anyone deploys this, make sure to bind only to localhost, and use an ssh tunnel to access it remotely,

Classic startup idea validation one-pager. I'm sure you'll get at least a few people signing up, but I don't think this is a good measure if people are really interested. Final price, look of the product, and the ability to m
