    I liked it and got a 7 space 4. Is this the max score? How can I know? It wants me to login for a reveal… which is unfortunately where I bounced. Maybe I would sign up after a fews…

    You mean the full internet experience in one window thing like the aol browser? I’m pretty sure I used to use it, light blue thing and hotmail a more seemless integration?

    I can imagine that if we ever reach a point where the interviewers are prepped with the useless corporate answers to these reversed interview questions, it means we’ve done a great…

    From what I’ve read on Wikipedia, mixxx apparently uses the xwax source code. As does PiDeck. It would be really interesting to know what else uses it.

    That reminds of codebases littered with Todos… where I like to Yoda it… do or do not, there is no todo.

    Ah that makes sense now. I nearly said it was like excalidraw, which is really nice for architecture diagrams more than for ui/ux I find.

    Same here. Never even thought of the fridge or what cold peanut butter would be like. I just can’t imagine it and have never needed to. Weird. In other contexts too I’ve never expe…

    Aaaah, remove and the re-add (maybe) makes a bit more sense.. So if it is not in the list you just add it, right? Actually is that right? Won’t the list fill up to the max again at…

    Until you trust every part of the mock behaves the same as every part of the real database you use… most often the db is your boundary with nothing further downstream. At that poin…

    I was once told mdd was mortgage driven development. Make code as confusing as hell so to they keep you on and you can keep paying your mortgage.

    This is word for word what I was about to write. Totally agree as I had a very puzzled face when that option didn’t appear in the list. And even more puzzled when (what I thought w…
