Is the prostitution on their resume?
Live in a tech hub, get a good recruiter, say yes to everything. 60 is probably extreme, and a good recruiter would probably actually turn you down for this type of behavior, but it's def possible.
No, we're all pretty average people. Mediocre colleges with mediocre degrees and mediocre working histories.
I have less than 20 years experience (less than 10 even) and I have gotten/seen a bunch of offers/jobs/etc with remote-only or remote-first over 100k
First company: My manager met with me once over two years. It was 18 months into my just over two years stay, and all she told me was "We don't know eachother at all so I can't really judge your performance." She gave…
Because it's ridiculous to decide that the bottom of the decision graph should be held responsible for the poor decisions made from above. Engineers should only be held accountable for decisions they made personally.…
"Everyone" in this post is being defined as "Everyone in my extremely small tech bubble"

I'm not sure why you feel the need to say this, as the purpose of my post wasn't to challenge any of the other assertions in this thread - rather to provide more information. I'm not going to debate you because there…
Thanks, I could've explained better, but that is exactly my point.
CS is less about coding and more about thinking analytically about coding. I started coding at 11, but some of my college classes were still pretty difficult. I wouldn't assume your classes will be a cakewalk -…
I'll be working on moving to Vancouver, BC in the next few years. Small house not near people. I'd like to heavily customize the interior - a thing that I don't do while I don't own.
Yeah. You formulated my opinion much more elegantly than I could've - in my experience it's always the "Well if the tests didn't catch this, we just aren't testing enough." Which in my experience is a losing strategy,…
My personal real life experience with Ruby developers disagrees with you, but I accept that I could just have experienced a set of developers that weren't very good at testing.
I am not an expert, but 75k seems disproportionate from the effort and time the requirements seem to be looking for. For the lofty goal of "Fix the internet", 75k seems more like "An extra few weeks of runway." What am…
Daily standups are not a solution to people not caring about what their peers are doing, is my point. You can't make people care, even if you make them show up.
Lemme check with my higher ups, but I think so? We would use this functionality a lot.
Caps are way more common, but every monday morning the front stoop at my old office would have a handful of used needles on it. I suppose the hyperbole would be implying "hundreds" of dirty needles all in one place.…
I think we're very similar. I've been pretty successful in my life (I'm only 29 so there's plenty of time for critical failure), but the way I observe the value that I add to my workplace and peers is totally different…
"How does this even get invoked" and "Where would I go to find these logs" are the two questions that, if the answers are not obvious/obviously documented, there is a big problem with that particular system. My current…
I honestly love Terraform as a product. It was one of probably three tools I've used in my entire career that made me feel immediately more productive. After using it for a very short period of time I was shocked…
I am not disagreeing nor challenging you; I'm happy you like it and I think you should keep using it since you enjoy it so much. My question is: Wouldn't the same be said by most programmers with a high degree of…
I keep hearing this sentiment, moreso than I've ever seen for any other language. Once you "get into" Clojure, you're both A.) Extremely productive with it, and B.) in love with Clojure. How does it hold up for those of…
Well, general interviewing (unrelated to tech) contains various amounts of "are you lying on your resume" type questions. If someone walks in with a breakdown of 10 years dev, 5 years management, they should be able to…
