Speaking of your tests - your general coding skills one has an actual bug in the code, as of a few hours ago (I sent an email about it, hopefully it gets fixed)

Getting a degree isn't a prerequisite; and its possible to learn enough on your own to get a great job in the industry. I have at least a few people on my team at fortune 100 compa…

In this context, prints mean "original prints" which doesn't translate to junk or reproductions. Some original prints are worth in excess of half a million dollars.

I’m quickly approaching 50, and work as a tech lead/developer at one of the top few companies in the world earning well. Age may make it more difficult, but in the end what you’re …

Articles like this do a disservice to everyone. For starters: a Stack Overflow survey is not a random sample of all programmers - it's a sample of people who are on Stack Overflow.…

And here's the problem. People don't agree what's hard/easy. If I ask you to find duplicate values in a nested data structure (arrays of arrays) ... that calls for recursion. I thi…

Personally a bit frustrated to see desktop applications go to subscription models where years can now go by without upgrades but I'm forced to continue to pay to use the app. If I'…

I can't talk to you about my team's current problems, and neither should anyone else. If I do and you offer up a solution I'm in real trouble ... because that's a lawsuit waiting t…

> Only a few rarified corporate people and independent consultants can pull down pay in the 200s. I'm not sure that's true. I've lost track of the number of software engineers I kn…

This is a big one: its a browser they don't have to pay to have google made the default search engine: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/14/google-paying-apple-3-billio... It lets them …

I'm not sure I could give an in-depth answer, especially under pressure in an interview. What I could do is explain the important bits at a high level: * how a B-Tree index is stru…

Just to add to the above comment, a diceware passphrase is MUCH harder to break than most people realize. For example, compare the possible number of combinations: Diceware, 6 word…

Any analysis which ties some outcome (self-assigned ratings) to income is flawed unless you control for income vs cost of living. The engineer with a compensation package worth 150…

If it takes a few hours to learn it, learn it. If I interview you and you say you're an expert in X, and you have a blank look when I ask you about X, you've lost the job, even if …

Even if users were willing, this would be woefully inaccurate information. Mint shows take-home pay. But you have to keep in mind ... * People contribute between 0 to X% to a 401k.…

The title here is a bit misleading; he did the bootcamp but he also did a lot of additional study, then he went on to teach at the bootcamp THEN landed that job. Still impressive!

I'm a big fan of TheSansMono - but its not exactly cheap (I think it was about $120 for the "office" group which I bought). The characters are pleasing, easy to read, and really I …

Some quick research turns up that this pays about $1300/month ... or around $40/hour. I'm basing the hourly on 4.3 weeks a month, 6 hours a week + one "full day" before class start…

A large portion of Apple employees get them, to some extent: http://9to5mac.com/2015/10/14/tim-cook-memo-apple-launches-r...

I don't think he's exaggerating; for the past 4 positions I've had to fill (at six figure comps) 80%+ of candidates with extensive resumes couldn't solve a simple recursion problem…

I can only say that if you're ever hiring, you probably will ask people to code for you. You won't at first, but after you've hired a few who could "talk the talk" but then can't a…
