There's a lot of FUD in the article. Most (all?) states have no requirement to carry or present ID to officers - you only have to give your name, and sometimes your address depending on the state…

More money is good, congrats, and this is just part of negotiation. But the company itself sounds broken. Any company that will give you a higher title/pay based that's not based on skill is…

Wait, so you're trading asynchronous, non-interrupt driven communication (email) for synchronous, interruptive communication (IM, phone)??? I do the exact opposite - I got rid of my phone, and ra…

Or just install cell-phone jammers in the restrooms...

This is a platform, not just a language. The same way that 'Mathematica' also has/is a language, but also a platform. You can write whatever code you want, but you can only run it on th…

Still no searching/tagging/OCR, which is the killer feature of Evernote. This is just Dropbox/Google Docs/Box/S3/etc.

quality != perfect You can still be fast and good, though it takes more discipline than just cranking out workable but crappy code.

I don't understand everyone's race to move from an asynchronous communication method (email) to synchronous (IM/phone/in-person). With email, I choose when I get interrupted. Wit…

Can you edit files while offline? Or do you need to be always-connected? (i.e. this is an actual web service) I couldn't find mention anywhere about offline abilities.

Would your rather that they have you come on-site and perform the coding challenge for half the day, then continue their normal interview process for the other half the day? Or worse, go through a nor…

All those companies should be care about algorithmic runtime, it's part of performance and scalability. If you're not thinking about that then you're not writing production software. I …

But what if the ops engineer can pass the coding challenge? He maybe trying to change roles. Or the dev that only knows pascal - if they can pass the challenge using pascal then I'd think they co…

I've been burned too many times by people who can talk the talk, but cannot walk the walk. Design, data structures, development methodologies, etc, they knew it all. But ask them to code a simple…

"Bring the source code—we’ll ask to take a look at it." Seriously?? What actual company do you know that would allow its IP to walk out the door? And possibly to a competitor? Additionally, …

When AWS is down, you won't need HN to tell you. You'll know b/c the internet will be down.

Because everyone uses WIFI. Do you have an ethernet port in every room of your house? And you actually plug in your laptop every time you sit down in each room of your house? Do you plug into ethernet…

Regardless of any technological or architectural decisions, simple load testing before launch would have prevented this. 1. Load test, discover issues. 2. Fix issues. 3. Repeat steps 1-2 until no more…
