Incredibly ironic comment - I interviewed at datadog for an engineering position and left feeling atrocious about it.

They gave me a large and complex take home assignment which I put a significant amount of time into, and which I felt I did a very excellent job with. They declined afterwards without a word. We didn't discuss it, no feedback was given. Just unmatched on the hiring platform we were using.

I am an experienced developer at a reasonably prominent company and I know I wrote the code well for that assignment. The fact that they would assign something so time consuming and then take no time to go over it at all and reject it so out of hand left me with a very very bad taste in my mouth.
I still buy shows and movies I really like on Blu-Ray (though usually after a first watch on streaming services).

For one, I’m betting that bit rot on the disk will take longer to happen than shenanigans with the streaming rights.

For two, the video quality of most streaming services is god awful. The resolution is there but the bit rate absolutely isn’t. I watched Mr Robot on Prime Video recently and dark scenes (of which there are a lot) looked like a blocky watercolour mess.
Using this is a code smell
This is terrible. Tech recruiting needs some serious change.

As a positive counter point, I got last two contracting jobs by having one lunch/coffee and just talking for half an hour. No grind, no CS questions, not even checking on references... loved the experience.

When I was recruiting we only had a one hour interview. I did ask technical questions, but treated it more like a conversation and all questions were on point (related to the application, no CS algo).
> - The 'interviews' are way shorter, because it's so much easier to fire me. I'm backing myself to deliver which is a show of confidence

I've never found this to be the case. Interviewing for an employee position was usually < 4 hours. But I have to spend way more time than that meeting with clients and putting together proposals before winning a contract.
Or render it beautifully for every future screen resolution.
Perhaps there is a really high certainty threshold before something is allowed to become part of the official IPCC reports, so that this happens as a result?
In that case a transcript of a conversation would be almost worthless since it's depriving us of the body language or the tone.
What is your application, and does it not handle migrations?
> any time you have thousand of interviews going on, you are bound to get some bad candidate experiences... and we try to minimize it for sure, but you will not get it to zero (especially when growing quickly)

Spot on. Nor should anyone expend disproportionate energy in bringing down common causes of quality issues to zero. https://apenwarr.ca/log/20161226

You must be new here.
Ghosting is really the worst. And it doesn't matter if it's a romantic relationship, friendship or professional interaction. Why can't people see themselves on the other side of the line?
Even big businesses don't last forever. Eventually they get gobbled up by a competitor or a new leaner arrival disrupts their business or the market changes.

I suspect letting go is difficult for a lot of people.
I used the word "senior" to mean engineers who are more experienced - sorry, that was not clear.

> it's a bit odd for principle engineer to report to senior engineer/manager-in-training, no?

No. This is where, I think, we disagree.

In most startups, people report to a founder who is CEO-in-training. There are so many examples of these, that I assume that reasonable people don't find that odd. If that is the case, why should it be odd that a senior engineer reports to someone relatively early in their management role (but not new to technology profession)?
It's not bad at cleaning kitchen grease off range hoods if you've got stainless steel. And you get a great "manly" scent.

I used to use it as a carburettor aide for rarely used lawnmowers to kick start them into life but this is probably bad for the engine. There are real products for this.

Penetrative oil for mildly rusted on screws and bolts.

And.. a really bad chain lube, or hinge de-squeeler. Basically these things deserve proper lube molybdenum/disulphide stuff. You're depending on the graphite (I think) in wd40 to do the job before the solvent strips all the real lube out.
I think blaming Bitcoin mining for bad environmental impact is misguided.

The important question IMO is why dirty energy is cheaper than clean and what can we do to make clean energy cheaper?
Have you received your summons from the ministry of love yet? ;-)
This sounds painful.
Is it me, or does this all sound like some bizarre trolley experiment?

Either take an active step, and let a small subset of people (Congolese Miners) suffer to help combat Climate Change from their mined Cobalt etc.... or take no decision, and let the trolley roll, and let the whole world suffer from pollution and climate change....

Choices choices...

Btw, why does every poor country have that one industry that's an absolute dark pit? In my country it's the brick kilns... our walls are literally built with their blood.
> I can assure you the HN mods and all of YC go above and beyond to not tip the scale in YC founders' favor.

Consider [1] which was flagged dead. It was ~10 years ago, so I could be wrong, but I believe there was a follow-up meta "Ask HN" where someone asked why it was flagged (I can't find it), and I __believe__ PG said something along the lines that he didn't find the original constructive, hence flagging it dead. Top comment on the non-constructive OP was from spolsky with some insightful information on job postings...

Definitely seemed like going above and beyond to tip the scale in YC founder's favor.

Edit: found the followup/meta [2] (I was wrong, no official explanation was given, sorry about that).

The word "huge" carefully avoid quantifying the amount of information.

Imagine a conversation with zero non-words information (a transcript).

Now one with zero words (mime game) .

Which one conveys more information?
She makes claims about the vaccine's effectiveness against Omicron when the data isn't in yet about that variant. It's only been a few days.

She also says "vaccines reduce an incredible amount of transmission too" and links to her post about how the vaccine provides sterilizing immunity. She says the immune system of vaccinated people will "quickly destroy" the virus, and "the vaccinated doesn’t become contagious".

I'd suggest the word "incredible" has no place in public health science publications. When used to describe viral transmission risk, in an article titled "go get your vaccine", we're basically in pro-vax propaganda territory.

Obviously the virus still spreads among fully vaccinated people. Data from around the world is showing high transmission in high vaccination areas. Avoidance of serious illness is the vaccine's main act, not reducing transmission.

Describing transmission protection as "incredible" could do more harm than good. The vaccinated may run around dancing and singing on the assumption they have incredible protection, and the assumption the vaccine is zapping the virus dead on impact. Good times. If only that were true.
I think there are systemic issues though. Things you can’t escape no matter where you work.
One of the most insidious is minor or major reorganisations or even the company being taken over. You could jump more often to compensate but then you are a jumper.

My thoughts on this are I need to network over learning the next thing or getting skilled up ready to jump the next interview hoops.

The networking might reveal opportunities that are more equal rather than the “we’re hiring” “full stack” fare that is generally out there.

That would be something. Unfortunately it's more likely for the taxpayer to fund Musk and receive nothing in return.
My employers don't follow any of these types of dark patterns and have been remarkably relaxed around how the time and effort I put in. Despite that, I'm still constantly in stress mode and demand of myself that I'm productive every little second of the day. I feel guilt for taking breaks, despite these being encouraged and feel like I have to show up exactly on the clock despite no one saying anything about the many colleagues I have that don't.

I've come to believe this anxiety actually stems from high school, where teachers would constantly demand punctuality, full focus and productivity. It was an environment where glancing out of the window could get you yelled at. Years later, I still seem to carry that sense of being constantly on edge, that someone is watching, judging.
Nice, thanks! So far I use chocolatey [1]. It is good, although some apps tend to be outdated (I can live with that, for the moment, it is not that worse yet). Will definitely keep in my Package Control.

How early? Could be worth trying again.
might be kinda fun to build a "ringbufferfs" that uses multi attach ebs volumes as slow shared memory for pushing bits around via the ebs side channel.

probably cheaper and more reliable too than provisioning a full size volume and relying on implementation quirks in existing single host filesystems and ebs.
Does sandman support joining, filtering to only fetch some columns, full-text-search, authentication to use different roles based on a token, defining callable functions in sql?

Looking at the sandman docs those were some features that I've used a lot in postgrest but weren't mentioned in sandman.
I don't think it is, just think about all the people (billions) which either can't afford a desktop or laptop, or can't connect one in their home. Now they are connected to the entire world, their families and communities through smartphones. And that cost of entry does keep getting lower. Perhaps it is transitional? Until something better comes along (AR/VR)? Then a smart phone is just a mobile computing device that generates/renders the virtual world around you (while remaining in your pocket). Who would want a laptop or desktop then, hah.
Hey. I actually started a YouTube channel specifically for this. I started freelancing and contracting around 10 years ago and found it really hard to understand how to approach everything so I’m basically spewing off my thoughts on that process and the things I’ve learned over the last 10 years. It’s a bit UK specific but the general mindset and lessons will still be relevant: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFreelanceSoftwareShow
> To me it looks like it’s just marketing that those 2 are popular.

And that's the killer feature! Librem/Pine have managed to build a community around their hardware. In theory, I could buy a Meizu phone and pick up its PostMarket OS port at the point where the last guy who tried it gave up. But trying to do it without a community would be no fun at all, and finding answers once you run into a roadblock will be an uphill battle. For instance, one of Meizu's kernel repositories has an unanswered issue from a few years ago, asking if they can release more up-to-date kernel code.

You're just focusing on the hardware's specs, but the community is what gives Librem/Pine's hardware its value.
> most rational explanation for OPs issue is that references were checked and came back luke warm/negative, so more were done which delayed it etc (they may not tell you this was the reason to protect sources btw), this is one of many potential reasons, i'm guessing, but benign explanations are more likely

> also, "discussing details of an offer" is not the same as receiving an offer

All reasonable things to happen, for sure. Would other HMs in the same building show interest after bad references? Debatable.

I accept all outcomes - all except ghosting.

Yeah, it is no wonder that a founder-CEO of a 70 billion dollar company is having very little negative interactions with about anyone.

Personally I have became from poor ass bootstrapping startup founder to rich and successful retired entrpreneur (now investor) and it is ridiculous how people will treat you wildly differently as you get wealthier. And at times the exactly same people.
Like what? Regime change? Genuinely asking.
I’d assume that Stripe isn’t trying to solve problems like this because of a lack of priority. Not because of a lack of ideas. A big company gearing up for a blockbuster IPO probably has many other problems to solve with higher priorities.

Definitely agree about the excess of complaining in this thread though. HN isn’t a good forum for discussions like this, but that’s probably more a social media problem than an HN problem.

This. This is what I meant with this post above. Poor form. Incompatible with the supposed criticality of the position at stake. I still think Stripe is a great company, was just disappointed at being ignored after all the festivities.
Yes, but that is mainly due to the US & EU using more gas.
it wasn't clear if this API is hook-based like react. There is function called useTransition but it's not indicated as a hook, and then in the playground you just call createSignal in a render function and it magically has it own instance? Does that mean you can't call createSignal outside of a component either?
Maybe, an app I inherited used this as it’s interaction with the database. The main issue was that because it wasn’t really sophisticated enough to do the queries they wanted so they wrote a bunch of stored procedures (in JavaScript?!) and used it to call them. This fairly rapidly led to the database getting overloaded.

I guess it’s maybe a smell because you’re limiting the database capabilities down from SQL, which is very powerful, down to the postgrest set of abstractions. Maybe that’s okay for your app now and maybe it always will be. But in this case, it wasn’t.

It is just the exact same racism as the old one. It also very much illuminates the quality of management we have to endure, people without good judgement think themselves as smarter and superior. I would recommend to search for another job because personalities like this cannot ever assume responsibility. Tough judgement but in self defense at this point.

Of course this will also stigmatize anyone that could fall under the label 'minority'. If management cannot look beyond the horizon on this simple dynamic, it is probably very bad management.
We have a giant jump in the number of new businesses now.

A majority of them are more spontaneous
and less well conceived by people with much less
experience with all aspects of running your own
business.

I read that there have been several 100.000 of new
business registered.

All of those will have to try and climb on top of each other
to be heard.

Let us say that 1000 new mobile dog grooming business have been started
in Denver. They all need a van and equipment.
There are already 100 mobile dog grooming businesses, some do very well with
an established clientele, a known name, and organic growth from happy businesses. Others do not.

How will all the new dog groomers be heard?

Who will be inventive enough or rich enough to hire someone, to create a solid and successful marketing campaign?

Traditionally on average 20% of new business fail within the first year.
(Depending on type of business, some fail more often than others).

I predict we will see solid increase how many businesses fail.
A lot of people will lose their savings.
Unless something drastic changes a lot more will be without health insurance.

Within 6 months to 2 years there will be a horde of people who wish to return to being an employee of an established business, while being worse off financially.

I hope I am wrong.

(All numbers used about dog groomers are made up. Pure fiction)

Yeah, things move around, so what? macOS moves things around a lot, too.

Both OSes have built-in search capabilities for finding things like settings. I don't think I've manually clicked through a settings menu at the OS level for a long time.

> It's just as easy to make a mistake with git today as it was however many years ago;

Pro tip from an actual pro :

git became significantly easier for me once I decided

1. to just use a good comfortable gui (at least one tui also look good) for anything beyond commit and push. (maybe not everything can be done from your gui of choice but at least you get a good overview of the situation before you dive in with the cli.)

2. and to just stick to the basics. (And when you need to help someone else who didn't, take it carefully even if that means you don't look like a wizard.)

In fact even working on the command line feels easier once I had worked in a good gui for a while.

Don't believe experts who claim that you need to study vim and stick to the git cli to "get it".

But of course: if cli is your thing, use it, just stop writing blog posts that claiming it is the only true way.

It's common to assume the masses are dumb and hiding moderation can make people do the right thing without being influenced by it. For example I imagine if the pin icon was visible there would be comments about it on every story it'd be used in, which you may want to avoid to focus on the topics at hand. With that put I think transparency beats this and a transparent system is more trustworthy and better understood by the users. Just 2c but keep doing the good work.

Nearly off-topic remark. The pandemic pushed our family to get a Netflix account. Yesterday, I did a small review of my router logs. Before Netflix we had an average 60GB download traffic per month, since Netflix we are at around 400GB per month.

Even so (or because) I started my Internet life with a 14.4 kbps modem, went through all the upgrades and now have a 70 Mbits DSL line at home, manage servers all over the world, I was surprised by the incredible amount of data streaming is moving.
I specialize in working with startups and small development teams getting their tech stack up and running or fixing growing pains. I must have worked with hundreds of teams at this point, and not once has it been standard fair.

That is roughly a 1.2% raise. Maybe Lego employees or Lego management can't do math.
You are treating people differently by their extrinsic characteristics. You also fail to see the dynamic that unfolds if people are unjustly penalized. This is a management error on your part.

Furthermore your behavior is indicative that you would sacrifice your own team to look progressive. Sometimes the rules of PR are harsh, but it is your job to shield employees from that and treat them fairly.
