  6. Ask HN: How seriously to take offer letters?

  7. “Tests should be poorly factored”

    This is a piece of advice I'd seen somewhere once, but can't remember where (or if this is exactly how it was worded). Does anyone know of an article or something that talks about this, or a more well-known term for…

  8. Ask HN: Catalog of common code review comments?

    There's certain classes of code review comments I find I often make, and would be nice to be able to link to some kind of relatively-language-agnostic catalog of them for a summary of what I'm talking about/why it's…
