That's either a fun or terrible exercise depending on who is administering and how. However, if you said it's a Ruby role and the candidate is good enough to be picky, you may scar…

I recently used ChatGPT canvas to improve a friend's resume. I had managed him in the past, and he is great to work with. However, from his resume you would never know it. I did 3 …

While LINQ does include a library of extension methods for functional programming with .NET collections (which is great), it also includes "Expression Classes". In a nutshell, this…

I've been occasionally mentioning this book on HN since I read it. Linked below. The book is about how companies evolve and how teams of people work together. It uses human growth …

I grew up working construction on the side with my father, became an appprentice lineman, moved to aftermarket electrical installations in CNC machines, then ended up writing softw…

I thought it was more like 2^23 unique prototypes?

I think OP has solved some of those issues with this approach. Initially, this is a fun tool that provides value to individuals. The result at scale becomes extremely valuable. The…

This is a very interesting idea. Given access to long form descriptions of what has been worked on, ideally with some kind of trusted verification, this approach seems like it woul…

Men are applying and women are hiring. Half the candidates are lying on their resumes. Many candidates are spamming their resumes indiscriminately. If you've ever had to hire someo…

Comparing a JavaScript ORM to a C# ORM like Entity Framework feels like comparing C macros to Lisp macros. You can't really have a reasonable conversation about ORMs without defini…

Since the word agile has become so loaded, you can instead explain why a waterfall practice is linked to predictable problems and avoid buzzwords entirely: It takes 6 months to act…

Please write a blog post about that when you get a chance to do it!

I migrated from vue 2 about 4 months ago seeking better typescript support and looking to move away from webpack. While I absolutely loved the simplicity and feel of svelte, I came…

While not all companies are as pervasively fucked up as the article claims, all companies do have problems, and these problems typically correlate to the stage a company is in. The…

As an outside company without a relationship with SAP, what's the best way to build integrations with it? What's the path? How do we get access to sandbox environments, and will it…

This seems like it would make a good poll. Could you convert it? My answer is the same as someone else before, and I'd love to get some numbers back on this.

I'm a huge fan of C#, but I didn't really like Blazor when I tried it. I had expected to love it too. I found much of Blazor's boilerplate to be very ugly, I didn't like the compli…

The last time I posted a job ad, 100 seemingly qualified candidates responded within 2 days. I interviewed 7 of them, and 6 out of those 7 were more than qualified for the position…

I take it you're not a musician?

I think this is a little of column A and a little of column B. Just as there are good and bad developers, there are people who are good and bad at running projects and organization…

Sounds like a feature.

I dropped out of high school with a 0.5 GPA, I now own a sizable percentage of a software company valued at a life changing amount of money. I cannot emphasize enough: Do not do wh…

If your manager doesn't understand that everything being broken all the time is a natural part of development, then you might need to find a better place to work. If someone I mana…
