For a fresh recruit, lack of experience is expected and will be trained away. Nobody who is looking for fresh/junior developers ought to expect anything else. But most needs aren't filled by a junior developer.

It is absolutely the case that a good developer will have perhaps a few interviews, and then pick the best offer available. Meanwhile, a marginal developer will go to interviews for months until something sticks. Thus, of the candidates I actually see, I expect the ratio to be perhaps 50:50 whereas perhaps 95% of all engineers are actually qualified for their jobs.

When a "senior software engineer" candidate can't read ten integers from a text file and print their sum after 45 minutes in front of the language of their choice, I have to assume that I'd have an equally bad experience working with that candidate in the future, and pass.

The article leans too heavily on "great developers are sticky," which may or may not be true, but the above dynamic is the main reason we have coding screens for programming jobs.

Nobody has shown me a better way of screening that actually works any better, and the cost of a mishire at the senior level is high, so on we go with the tools we have, primitive as they may be.

Libraries do support open source software. In some cases, they even create it. For example, Enki, an ebook platform created by Califa (a consortium of CA libraries) was created in response to OverDrive (a larger for-proft ebook platform). This isn't to say that they couldn't do more to get the word out about consumer-facing open source projects/tools, but we should give credit where it's due.

Yes. And if I'm expecting to hire a senior developer, I quite naturally don't want the person with that experience, because that's not an actual senior developer.

I have never found street parking convenient. It will depend on where you live but I tend to find that it's never available so you wind through the streets and inevitably end up far from where you wanted to be.

Some people would get extremely upset at blocking the bike lane and forcing cyclists into traffic or over the sidewalk. A passing scooter might not make it in time and is likely to clip your mirrors in the process depending on how much room they have to maneuver (likely not a lot or you wouldn't be parking in the bike lane to begin with). As for the wipers, that would likely be vandalism, but it's still cheaper to fix than the parking ticket that would follow immediately if your car would not be towed to the municipal holding facility from where you can 'buy it back' for a sum that will remind you not to park your car like that for the rest of your life (419 Euros) for being an impediment to traffic safety.

Seriously, if you're in Amsterdam and you feel like parking in a bike lane is acceptable please do not do it, it will not end well.

> the rear roof support 'C style') can be quite wide and obscure a lot of your vision

It's getting worse and worse. Older cars (like 10-15 years old) still had bigger windows and thinner roof support. Sure, the cars looked maybe a bit less stylish, but the overview for the driver was a lot better (in all directions). Also new cars are wider and longer. Nowadays it's often hard to fit your car in a parking lot, and the doors open outside of the marked space. Some regulation would help to force manufacturers to think about designing cars a bit more.
In my experience taking the lane stops people from assuming that they have space to pass except by changing lanes. Car drivers mostly take their cues from the cyclist. If you're cycling in the gutter it signals for car drivers to try to overtake you in the same lane. Why would you be in the gutter, except to yield the rest of your lane to cars?

There's not space for a car and a bicycle in the same lane. A car will always have to at least partially change lanes to overtake safely. You're better off being 2/3 of a lane over, so your head is in the same position as every other driver, and car drivers change lanes completely to pass as they would for any other vehicle.

I guess I misinterpreted that you were a proponent of training people.

Yes, if you want to exclusively hire people who are already good at React then of course work samples are an effective technique. I personally think the majority of good hires are not already familiar with my particular stack.

> Set the bar where you need it to be, but make the bar about ability and aptitude, not about people talking their way through an interview.

I think you might have misinterpreted my position as well. When I ask people to talk their way through their existing projects, it means they literally bring some code with them and we spend the interview working through it and them teaching me about the decisions they made in building it. You should try it some time.
I too would love to read a write up. I've just recently moved a lot of things over to AWS (from a traditional VPS) and having hugo in Lambda would be the last piece of the S3+Cloudfront cake.
Agreed. I was definitely taught to always shoulder check before turning right, and I can't remember whether I was explicitly taught or not, but it just seems like common sense to check if anything is coming before swinging your door open. That said, clearly it's not, so that really needs to be taught better as well. (And of course the third one that they do far better than us in Holland, and in Europe in general, is lane use.)

Each of these is clearly a matter of poor education. I still remember my driving test having three increasingly ridiculous questions about how it's never ok to go even 1kph over the speed limit, but no emphasis whatsoever on these issues. I hope it's changed since then, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
Cisco ASA firewalls perform "application inspection" (enabled by default) that breaks EDNS0, (SMTP) STARTTLS, and others.
I use a standard vector font in small size, around 5x8 pixels. The inherent antialiasing can give far more visual information cues than just pure binary bitmaps. The high-frequency edges of small bitmap characters are also much harsher, making AA vector fonts easier to look at.

https://i.imgur.com/51qOPv4.png

(Liberation Mono, 6pt, greyscale antialiasing, no hinting, default 96dpi setting)

Explore your available fonts to see which happens to scale down reasonably. Make sure to disable font hinting when using vector fonts at small sizes. Hinting absolutely destroys the shapes at those sizes, as the ~1 pixel fudging that lines get is massive relative to the glyph size of just a handful of pixels.
Right, right of course. Your totally secular belief system is what led you to a moral viewpoint in which it is immoral to rent the mouth, vagina or anus, of another human being, but (one assumes) renting their penis is totally fine.

So as a gay man, it would be highly immoral for me to have sex with a prostitute whom is a bottom, but renting the services of a top for the night would be totally fine. Am I interpreting you correctly (not that I have, or plan on, engaging the services of sex workers. Not really my scene.)?

Will they? I'd expect an autonomous car's doors to be under its control unless the passenger declares an emergency (which would be a Big Deal, call the police, etc.).

Sure, that's the theory. But in practice some drivers will see it as an aggressive move to take 'their' lane. They are wrong, no doubt, but it doesn't pay off to go head-to-head with a bunch of bricks when you're an egg. Better to play it safe. Keep in mind that you're entirely unprotected.

The best way to stay safe in traffic with vehicles is to assume that (1) you're invisible (2) made of eggshells and (3) everybody behind you is out to get you.

If you're a young burly male you might get away with this but keep in mind that advocating this strategy for all cyclists (little old ladies, kids, etc) would definitely not work.

In a car centric society the last thing you want to do is to occupy a full lane sized for vehicles but going 1/3rd their speed. It is an open invitation for aggression against your person, plenty of people see you riding a bike already as such an invitation it certainly isn't going to get better by occupying 'their' lane.
Did anyone else click thinking the "Dutch Reach" was a sexual maneuver? 99% sadness.
Sounds like a typical "Sharrow" bike lane, which is supposed to be a portmanteau of "share" and "arrow" but is often described as a "shitty arrow" because of how dangerous and ineffective these bike lanes are.

Don't worry so much about the "we're looking for the best" - as the author of this article points out, it's just an ego trip on the part of the interviewers. Everybody wants to think they're the top 10% but the truth is, half of all software developers are below average. Most interviewers (and candidates) don't really know what they are looking for or where they will fit in, so the process is pretty random. Just cover your bases (i.e. study for your interviews, have a referenceable public body of work, and work on your people skills) and interview a lot, you'll be fine.

Remember that the reason all of these blog posts you're reading exists is because the authors are growing their referenceable public body of work to the same end, not necessarily because they're trying to help you.
