Spotify, Riot, & AWS all gave me coding exercises I never come close to in my actual job. None of them handled my accommodations request very well (no live audience), either. I can count on one hand the “good” interview processes I’ve had. Most interview processes are daunting.

We need to normalize sharing *good* stories about interviewing. Between AWS, Riot, Spotify and Citadel, I was never asked a single comp sci leetcode question. No quicksort, no red/black trees, etc. Plenty of coding, but absolutely nothing you’d need to prepare for. twitter.com/hussien_coding…

Having a written step in engineering interview processes is becoming more common, especially with remote/async work. Typically along the line of write a few paragraphs answering one or two questions. Eg Amazon does this for EMs. But this below is way over the top. 👇

The beauty of polyamory from a place of abundance rather than deficit, when you're completely contented in one relationship, is it means you can open yourself up without fear of rejection and you can share the overflowing love without expectation which is freeing for others.❤️

People who say "open source isn't a place for politics" might be unfamiliar with the decades-long social movement. It's always been political.

msw (@_msw_)Fri, 18 Mar 2022 15:11 GMT

That said though: political action needs to also not be reckless or actively harmful. Like, sure, you could add code to your module to just make it return garbage in certain geos, but actively deleting or wiping data? That's not political action, that's malicious stupidity.

The transition in understanding of OSS from "scratch your own itch and maybe someone else has the same itch" to "you, a volunteer, have a responsibility to meet other people's needs" is at the heart of a lot of problems.

Yeah that is literally the definition of Open Source Software, the developers don't have to listen to you at all lmao. Don't like it? You are free to fork it, as it is Open Source Software and not Listen To The Community Software.

Being non-binary for me is not about moving away from femininity but rather embracing my masculinity & everything in between. Through this I've realised a lot of trans and enby people are better described as "more than" binary (And can bring expansive versions of joy & beauty!)

because everybody, especially everybody at a place like an NGO, would already have a github account that's years old with a bunch of activity, right? have you really never signed up for a new account somewhere to report a serious issue or do something similar?

A weird issue with programmer culture is that they often literally do not think about non-abstract consequences, so I’d like to offer up the following extremely simple guideline: “If somewhere, somehow, hospital infrastructure is dependent on this code, could it kill someone?”

Every time JK Terfling opens her mouth, we have to go through this again, so: You cannot support work that the author still profits from without supporting the author. Saying you don’t support her doesn’t stop your money from going into her pocket when you consume her work.

Running npm scripts on install should require opt-in from both 'npm install' and from indicating that you expect an upstream dependency to run scripts in the first place, e.g. "dependencies": { "foo": "1.2.3:with_scripts" }
