Oh thank you for sharing! I had tried describing this earlier in my career and had call it "The complexity shell game" as in attempts to hide complexity only serve to move it aroun…

I almost completely disagree with this post. The only thing I can consider that you should probably avoid embarrassing names. A descriptive name is terrible if you're slightly off.…

You know, my honest but also meta answer is that I don't know the answer to your question. There's a lot to unpack here and I don't know you well enough to give personalized advice…

I know this puzzle as "Star Battle" where I play it here: https://www.puzzle-star-battle.com where my favorite difficulty for a nice medium difficulty is "Normal 10x10 2 stars" The…

I wish they hadn't used "physics-defying" in their press release because I'm certain this is an important discovery for water condensers, but claiming it doesn't need an external e…

Since I think I'm the person you're referencing, I really do want to give good feedback, but experience has shown it's really perilous (discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.co…

Oh geez, I see my math mistake. But even at $5k/mo, the point still stands.

This. 100% this. I can't believe any company would look at this story (which I've heard variations on from multiple peers) and go: "we should save money by not flying candidates ou…

Okay, so the original argument is about whether or not it's worth it to fly people out for an on-site. Hotel and airfare: $2000 absolute max. Salary at $100/hr for one month for me…

> I think it's very scary when even manual review is still yielding you results with horrible technical screenings. It was bad. It was starting to affect my life outside of work. >…

There's a difference between layoffs and firing. To fire an individual, the company must have documentation to ensure it's not a wrongful termination. Ironically, it's easier to la…

It's not the lawsuit, it's about the time wasted as a manager and salary to the person as you work out if it's actually time to fire. Performance Improvement Plans, a bunch of back…

> The kicker? These are 100% remote jobs - the interviews are being performed at shared workspaces. That's the world we live in now. Nah, if I was running a 100% remote job company…

> A scary number of candidates did not take rejection well and tried to use my feedback against me. This happened to one of my bosses. As a result, I've never attempted it. Except …

I know the on-site is time-consuming and expensive, but so is firing people (at least in United States it is.) I've had a few on-site interviews where having them on-site made us r…

God, I wish I could respond to denied applicants like a human, but the threat of legal action prevents me from giving good feedback. I know it sucks, but I'm not sure what to do ab…

I'm a software manager that has been doing some form of interviewing/hiring for 13 years. I did two rounds of hiring software engineers last year, one in spring that seemed normal,…

And not just any worm, but a C. elegan, which always grows the exact same way every time. The whole reason those worms are so well understood was due to ease of analysis. Hell, it …

Hi! My professional job is to write emulators, my wife is a molecular biologist, and as a kid I had dreams of writing the exact software you are referencing, so I think I have a de…

I was disappointed the article included these phrases without more context, because they seem understanding on the surface level. But this was the same person who pushed to delay h…

Yes! This game is a lot of fun. My only gripe with it is that the red area is small and the green area is huge, and that's really minor complaint. With the right people this game i…

For those that love this game (as I do) I recommend "I Love Hue" for mobile.
