Why are your best practices better than whoever you'll hire's? Just accept another person to be an adult, and help you in increasingly good ways and communicate well. Or fire them …

Sounds like an AI wrote this. > Maintaining Culture: As the team grows, it's vital to preserve the company culture and ensure new hires align with core values. I honestly disagree.…

Sounds great! Where do you work?

1000% agree. I'd rather spin my wheels for an hour on Google than ask a silly question in public

Meeting in person >1 hour away is difficult for people in many life circumstances. And if there are constant meetings, it either strains families or makes the person who can't make…

Why would I write tests for Tic-Tac-Toe? It's insanely easy to exhaustively hand-test, or just look at the code to see its validity. If you expect tests on something that simple, t…

How is that good? It's all memorization

Sounds like a decent start-up idea

Sadly enough, I've been ask the UDP/TCP question many times, so I have a good answer, though I have never studied either in depth. So, in theory that would be a great question. But…
