As someone that does lots of coding phone interviews I can say that yes, time is a factor. But it's relative, ie I'm comparing you to the time it took other candidates to solve the same problem. After all, we have to evaluate you, over the phone, in the course of less than an hour. If 2 candidates arrive to the optimal solution, the one that did it much faster is the better candidate.

It sounds to me like you did pretty well so don't give up.

It’s not unreasonable to spend money on a financial planner.

> If the GH code is there, works, and is up to coding standards, why do you care about how the sausage was made?

Perhaps because, like many developers on modern teams which eschew the older role distinction, the incumbent in the position being hired for will need to act in the role of a classic system analyst in defining specific requirements give a fuzzy business problem as well as the role of a grunt coder.

Also, the presence, functionality, and quality of code on GH does not establish it's provenance.

For me, one of the big advantages of email (which makes it my preferred electronic communication medium) is that it does not assume immediate reaction. I can read my mail once a day, reply to the messages that need to be replied to, and forget about it until tomorrow. Having email on a phone (especially with notifications enabled) would undermine that advantage.

Not sure why the hostility.

His resume doesn't say he did auth. He used an open source library and made unspecified modifications to it. That's definitely something a junior level Dev could do.

"Or maybe it's part time". Exactly. A resume should give answers, not raise questions.

Expecting people to be charitable while reading resumes is unrealistic. A resume has to quickly demonstrate the applicants qualifications other wise it's trashed.
There are some cases where this is still a problem. voLTE is left up to the carrier on how they'll implement it. There are cases of phones with proper band support not working on Verizon due to lack of carrier provisioning. The fallback for calls is cdma if the phone isn't whitelisted or lacks a proper carrier file.

To this day there are still people calling into verizon to get certain import models whitelisted.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know a lot about databases, but Atomiticy comes up a fair bit in the web apps I write, as does Consistency in terms of designing data models that can’t go wrong, or trying to encode domain structure into data models to use the Consistency guarantees that Postgres gives us. Isolation is pretty important in general, and easy to reason about from a web app perspective, with requests being isolated from each other at the database level, I rely on that all the time, and Durability doesn’t come up a load, but that’s because I haven’t had to do any sort of disaster recovery.

I don’t think it’s essential to know this, but I’d be surprised if a web dev interviewed with us and didn’t know at least the basic version I’ve given above.

Justice.

The state should be providing these services to low-income people itself. Low-income people are not 'customers' - they are citizens and any money that is diverted to profit is money that is not going to the people who need it.
Ok, we've taken that word out of the title above.
It may be also of interest to note that WeWork's leases with their landlords are not signed with WeWork Inc, but instead with limited-liability subsidiaries that WeWork owns.

This means that when the cyclical tenants leave, WeWork is not left with the whole bag; instead, its landlords are.

When the tenants of a building stop paying, WeWork would default on that subsidiary, but WeWork corporate would not default.

This was hugely surprising to me when I first heard it.
I spend all my extra income investing in cryptocurrency. But I don't make a lot of money at my job like you guys, I'm a cancer researcher, not a programmer. I live very simply, drive an old (1996) used car I like, and don't buy a lot of extravagances. I need cryptocurrency to succeed so I can retire someday or be able to afford having a family. My crypto portfolio is currently worth more than I make in a year and has given me great hope for the future. That hope and potential freedom has outweighed any of the stupid things I used to spend my money on.

PocketCHIP looks to me to be the definition of hipster, haha!
There's a gambler's case to be made for almost any new debt issue.

It's really just a matter of sorting out where the notes one is considering are in the pecking order and estimating the probability of the issuer going bankrupt to put reasonable bounds on expected return of principle if they fail.
A similar estimate can then be made on the probability of default or restructuring for the notes under consideration.

Given that information and a big enough coupon, a quarter-Kelly or half-Kelly bet may not be unreasonable.

At this point there are too many unknowns to make that case however.
We'll have to see what coupon they decide on and enumerate the things that could knock them out or severely limit their free cash flow.

To your quote from the CEO, it's not a great way to market debt issues tbh. WeWork really isn't any different from any other REIT and one does not lend a REIT money because they are great people.
Exactly. The number of people who can't do basic development going into interviews pretending they can is kinda crazy.

How Not to Argue Against Libertarianism
I come from a similar background. No college degree, from a poor rural southern area. When I first started with a rapidly-increasing paycheck I spent money on all the tech gadgetry. Now, I view most of the things as unnecessary.

Instead I'm moving towards financial independence - hopefully to the point where I can retire early. I'm working on maxing out my 401k and IRA investments yearly. I keep a few months salary saved up so I can weather most storms without dipping into the retirement funds.

This is something I'm working towards. I'm a long way from meeting my goals of income:savings ratio. I spend too much on food and various forms of entertainment (PC games and movies).

My S/O works in the arts and she still finds it insane how much money I make (not a lot by the HN crowd, I'm sure), so she's the one that inspires me to do better things with my money.

> "HR doesn’t know shit about tech, and dev managers don’t know shit about HR"

This is the cause of a significant amount of waste, friction and general anger for both sides in my experience. Technologists are well-known for their TLA's, and HR teams have their own obfuscating discipline-specific terminology, assumptions and values.

The incentives for external recruiters are obviously a problem and even for internal recruiters they are mostly measured on seats filled rather than long-term retention or the candidates performance.

Hiring managers themselves are often extremely poor at describing or even understanding what it is they are trying to hire. They often struggle to provide clear and actionable feedback that can change the search.

Figuring out that collaboration is definitely worth while!
>Instead, it's up to the developers, designers, entrepreneurs and technology leaders to create a version of the open web that also happens to be the best version of the web.

"We messed it up big time, let us fix it, pretty please, with sugar on top." Is that the argument?

People need to stop thinking that they can fix humanity by themselves by being "developer, designers, entrepreneurs, and technology leaders".

Oh, the hubris of "this is my guilt, MINE!"

The horse is so high, I am sure an apology tour around the globe is being dreamed of.

You don't need technologist, you need philosophers, and psychologists, and politicians, and people.

The technology should be like paper and pencil, without opinion, and then let humanity work it out for itself.

Hey look, Trump is making a phone call using his private phone. Should Samsung intervene?

If humanity is doomed because we are humans then there is nothing technology can do.

I think Internet Technology needs to realize that just like the car before it, it doesn't get to have an opinion. Once Ford sells the car, it can't control who drives it, to where and for what purpose. Internet based platforms for public voice should be like a car or pepper&pencil.

An interesting convention. I'm personally of the opinion that since I'm explicitly defining foreign key constraints and relationships in the database anyway, and that's easily viewed by querying the table definition, putting much more in the name itself is both redundant and causes confusion (or at least extra work and annoyance) when used outside the database.

I don't name the primary key field id because I'm denoting a type, I call it id because it holds the identifier for the current record. I don't call the foreign relation identifier person_id because it holds a "person" and is an id, I call it person_id because it holds the identifier for a person record, and that's a valid description for what the field holds. The constraint tells how the relation is defined.

> the PK for a table called Thing is explicitly named pkThing rather than letting SQL Server pick a name [2] for instance an index on Thing covering col1 and col2 is ix_Thing_col1_col2

So, do you call those fields that index works on col1_ix1 and cal2_ix1 or something? If not, why do you denote the primary key with PK, and not indexed columns? Both have explicit definitions in the schema that specify exactly how they are defined, one a primary key, the other an index over multiple columns.

To me this sounds a bit like how Hungarian Notation[1] had it's original purpose lost as it shifted over time to encompass a larger, less well defined set of behavior which didn't always deliver an actual benefits.[2] To me, if the system is enforcing the values, and you can introspect the system, that's good enough.

That said, I did spend a while reading an IDEF1X explanation and HOWTO last night, and there are some interesting points and arguments there, so I'm not entirely set in stone with these views.

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation#Systems_vs....

2: TL;DR "Apps Hungarian" prefixed variable names with info about what they were supposed to contain at a high level, such as rwFoo containing the row of Foo. Systems Hungarian came along later and they used the prefix to encode the type, such that iFoo might mean an integer Foo. The benefit of this in a language such as C or C++ that requires explicitly typing the variable anyways is debatable.

AYLIP could be the major contribution of the recent boom in AI. Not just in enriching a few scummy FANGs, but actually providing real value to society.
I've always liked to entertain the idea that highly advanced intelligent life is an evolutionary dead-end. After all if human beings drive themselves to extinction in the next 10,000 or 50,000 years what did our intelligence get us? It didn't enable us to survive better than other species.

And what if a lot of intelligent species run into this problem? Where the level of knowledge and power they amass far outstrips what they've evolved to responsibly handle. And the result is intelligent species often manage to destroy themselves before they become wise enough to avoid that.
I also highly recommend a good financial planner. Not only can they help you with the complicated financial stuff (all the work you might typically expect from a financial planner), they also are experienced at helping you figure out what you care about (and therefore how you should allocate your resources). I find it to be almost like 'financial counseling'.

There was a NYTimes article recently that is sortof on the topic: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/smarter-living/why-you-sh...

A good financial planner should be certified (have their CFP), and will offer your first visit completely for free.

I max out my 401k, I max out ESPP and put that into savings once they hit the qualifying disposition mark, (ditto with RSUs), I have a stupid silicon valley mortgage, I like fast cars, and I like to travel. But of course, there's more money for travel than time, which is the biggest problem.

I don't really have other expensive 'hobbies'. I don't eat out much, my wine clubs are very reasonable/modest ones, I'm not so much into motorcycles anymore, my carbon road bicycle is 10 years old, etc etc. I don't regularly buy new computers/electronics/etc, but when I do I buy something really nice and keep it for a decade. Not a gamer, not hugely into A/V stuff, etc.
OTOH, I've had the good fortune of working in a team of top 10% engineers/architects (I'm not top 10%, btw) who worked harmoniously, and it was one of the best times I ever had in my career. Learned a lot, upped my level trying to keep up, helped create a good product, etc.

In that case, the key was that clumps of them had already worked together in earlier jobs, so the incompatibilities had been pruned.

Somewhat unrelated but if you really want to see how horrendously unfriendly the typical smartphone UX is, hand one to a technology-challenged grandparent (who can probably use a legacy cellphone/flip phone just fine) and ask them to call you.

They are more likely to accidentally take selfies than figure out how to call you, even if they have your phone number memorized.

It would be nice to have an android "main menu" which is just simply the dialpad when you turn on or unlock the phone. Add a button for "smartphone things" like search contact list or open other apps but keep it most elemental function (making phone calls) up front and and easy.

Interesting read. So here is what I've learned if you wanna keep on writing code and stay competitive:

* You'll be discriminated the older you get. Make yourself ready:

* Career and big names is important. Companies wanna hire ex-googlers. Have Google on your resume. It's better to work in BigCorp for 10 years rather than being contractor for 10 years.

* Improve your interview skills. For engineer it's theoretical computer science knowledge and cracking code challenges on a whiteboard within limited time.

* Have a big thing on your resume. Source code, GitHub, whatever it is.
