For the same reason (I'm using Ctrl+a in the shell), I'm using Ctrl+q as prefix for tmux. I'm quite surprised that I've never heard of anybody else using this combination.

I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or not, but would you hire a programmer who can't compute "2+3" in his head? The same argument can be made for basic maths operations: we all have calculators (applications).

I have never been in an interview for a job as programmer, to be honest, but really, we're talking about fizzbuzz here. You should be able to recite it in your favourite programming language. :) For more complicated tasks I guess you can sa

It's not about how expensive a laptop is or isn't. If somebody can't master the basic syntax of the language so that they can write a very basic algorithm without syntax errors and in such a way that it would run on the first try, they can'

Flexible vacation sounds a lot like flexible salary, in my opinion. How do I know how much is reasonable? Also, how do you determine when the job is done, unless you have a very detailed to do list for the year? My job is never done, otherw

While this works for freelancers/students/startupers, it doesn't work very well for people working in bigger companies. If your interests are related to your day job, I think it's quite risky to put your code on GitHub, even if the code is

The incremental builds are taking about 5 minutes, which is not really long enough for me to do any big work, but I usually look if there are any new issues in the queue, look at code reviews (not the ones I'm reviewing, but what others rev

I'm also a remote worker, but I work (mostly) on my local business hours. I'm in Brussels and my team is in California and I'm usually working a bit later (until around 7-8pm) to overlap with them and there's the occasional late night meeti
