    After we merge a pull request with rebase + fast forward merge, there is no merge commit created. This leads to a linear commit history. Does anyone know anyway to look at the line…

    @jonandersense Honestly, I prefer doing a 1 day onsite interview. The equation is different here. Here, the company is investing as much time in interviewing me as I am putting in …

    In that case, we agree. I too believe that a 1 hour coding interview is reasonable although I am not too sure if it is ethical to do so without paying. But if it is a 4 hour coding…

    A 4 hour coding assignment is half a day of work. I don't care if it is a toy project and if there is no business value in the work. But a 4 hour coding assignment is still half a …

    The number of commands you show may not be unreasonable. But after spending many years in the industry, I think it is far easier for me to learn C++ with all its different types of…

    To be fair to the people whose merges failed, I believe this is a shortcoming of git (the tool) and not the people using it. It is fair to expect a developer to invest sometime in …

    Saka Key seems to be using different keybindings than VimFx, Vimium, Vimperator, etc. For example, Saka Key uses `n` to open a new tab[1] whereas others use `t` to open a new tab. …

    Is there a good alternative for VimFx?

    Or imagine a surgeon being asked to perform a fake surgery before being offered a job. If my degree does not mean anything at all in the software field, I wonder why we spend so mu…

    A toy problem to be solved in an hour is quite reasonable. Anything more than 2 hours and I would expect to be paid by the hour!
