I have an OP-1 and love it. Its a mainstay in my recording and live performances and honestly my "main" synth despite it looking like a toy. I keep finding new uses for it. Example…

Fair enough. I still think people should read stuff like this with a healthy measure of skepticism.

Gentle reminder to anyone reading this that your problems are probably not FAANG problems. If you architect your system trying to solve problems you don't have, you are gonna have …

Yeah you have to use the appropriate strategy for the interviewee. In the case of a junior, you are looking for potential and teachability as you said. You tailor your questions to…

This is the right way to go. If I were looking for a job right now I'd be hitting you up. I've said as much in a few other threads but it's not only the right thing to do, its a co…

I'm not sure a lot people know that Albini ended up washing his hands of his work with Nirvana. After the recordings were wrapped and the mixes were done, Kurt was really unhappy w…

While I see where you are coming from but respectfully disagree with your conclusions. > My point is that there's less need to test people during their interviews for occupations w…

> Hiring managers are timid about letting people go and it can take an extraordinary amount of time to part ways with unproductive people. With respect, it sounds like you had a ba…

Thanks! So, I'll say that we are still tweaking and trying to get things just right but, as of the time of me writing this, here is the process: - HR call 30 min. - Talk to hiring …

Hiring manager here. IMO the current tech hiring norms are gross and not sustainable. It feels like a weird hazing ritual and with the current market, is the single biggest reason …

I've never heard of this author. Anyone have any good recommendations on where to start? Specific book titles would be appreciated (its hard to find the starting point in a given s…

Modern Java is actually pretty good. It's taken great features from other JVM languages like Kotlin and Scala and is much better for it. The JVM is a wicked fast run time and its n…

I dunno man... I think that giving an entity the ability to perform operations upon itself and thereby changing it, looks neat in these examples but scales poorly in a sufficiently…

Highly recommend Insync[0] as an alternative to these shenanigans. Native Linux support too. [0] https://www.insynchq.com/

The best explanation of NFTs I’ve heard: You are married. Your spouse is cheating on you right in front of you with multiple people. But you have the marriage certificate.

My entire household uses Apple products. A few years ago I got fed up and went all in on Linux and Android. I liked a lot of things about it but ultimately came back to Apple. When…

Heh. I have been at the butt end of that one a few times. Another favorite of mine is when they push back with Parkinson's law: work expands to meet time available for its completi…
