Haha at the end definitely bothers me lol

It’s really hard to get enough info in 1h. I’ve had several morning or afternoon interviews, though that felt comprehensive enough.

Yeah, I’m not sharing that. I’m fairly sure it was legal, though.

It’s almost always slow is ways that the language choice doesn’t matter even a little

My first assignment as a professional programmer I balked at. I said it was “Unethical and immoral.” And when they told me I “had to do it” I said that I don’t and that they shouldn’t find someone else. My boss stepped in, chewed me out and told me to she would do it. Instead of putting her foot down there was just always another priority. It never got done in the ten years of the project.

The head of IT at one of my old jobs won 3 or 4 iPhones circa 2007

My team just had a super productive in office day. I thought “wow I can see why people think in office is more productive” and then I realized my entire team was remote that day but me so it was more like a fully remote day for the team.

I don’t doubt that the trades are complicated, but I have no gauge for how effective trade schools are for trades. I have reason to be skeptical of trade schools for computer programmers.

The grads coming from less rigorous 4 year programs are already lacking. Computer programming is complex enough that I would be very reluctant to learn from a trade school that took less than four years.

All development happens in feature branches. Someone other than the original developer needs to build and test the feature on our development servers. If successful it gets merged into qa, where it gets built and tested against it qa servers. Production build are tags on qa.
