I think the 'correct' (from the perspective of getting an interview) approach would be to personalize your resume to include skills that are called out in the listing, even if you've just read a tutorial on it. Not to list a

I've gotten some complements for my resume's layout and it's basically the exact opposite of that. It's based off of some latex template that looks roughly like this: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/t

> no rainbow emojis So it's not possible to be openly gay and hire-able? I mean, sure, that must be true for some companies but I wouldn't want to work at those anyway. edit: on second read, this might come off as more aggress

Maybe it's just sour grapes from me, but it feels like a lot of these acquisitions are for has-been companies that were great 10+ years ago but haven't had much success lately. Bethesda, Double Fine, and now Activation Blizzard.

Not a lawyer, but doesn't linking to Wikipedia indirectly link to a copy of the license?

Welcome to Q3 I guess. I'm going to be spending a large part of this time backing up various sites and creators that I want to keep track of, since I feel like this is going to get worse.

Another day of this, and this specific event (not counting the other outages) will bring Twitter down to two-nines of availability since the acquisition/layoffs.

I recently interviewed at a place where the interviewers kept calling me bro or dude, so maybe they'll match with each other at some point. Without wanting to get into a discussion of the gender-neutrality of those words, I'm not

Late response, but in Q1 I got about 3 call backs, 2 turned into a full "onsite" loop, but both seem to have ended from things I couldn't control (position closed because startup's product launch got pushed back by almos

You're blaming this on the CEO ... hiring women?

Oh yes, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia are great as long as you don't need to get an abortion, aren't religious, gay, or non-white.

One thing I've envious about former Twitter employees is that they have a lot of evidence that they weren't laid off because of anything they actually did. Really helps with the "why are you leaving your current position?&quo

Reddit's going to get rid of remote work, but give Spez a private room to do boy stuff in?

Yeah, a good AB testing framework would either refuse to let you break things down too much or have a large warning about the results not being significant, but that doesn't always stop the business-types from trying to wiggle in some
