This is a terrible way to interview people. Not everyone has the time (or desire!) to work on personal or open source projects. Judging candidates based on work you expect them to have done in their spare time is unfair & will exclude huge groups of people.

How I test junior devs. Step 1: I look for proof that they have coding skills. I mainly look at GH and LI. I almost never look at portfolios or resumes Step 2: a 60-90 minute pair programming interview on their own project Step 3: If OK, I send an offer Thats it #TechTwitter

Cancelling a subscription in protest is the only way consumers can make their voices heard. It's not "cancel culture". It's called capitalism. The very thing most of these right-wing podcasters advocate for. And guess what, the pressure is working.

One thing to consider (because I’ve been guilty of it as an IC) is that you can’t just use your minimum with a ton of three day weekends - you’ve go to have at least a whole week per year of contiguous pto too :)

It’s not even just that they feel they can/cannot; without a balance of days staring you in the face, most of us don’t remember to take it.

Pulumi's PTO policy is now a three week *minimum*, plus a company-wide week off each summer and winter. This is rad and I'd love to see more companies adopting a similar policy rather than just "unlimited PTO," where employees might not feel like they can actually take time off.

Tech interview antipattern: interviewer springs a “so do you have any questions for us” to the candidate after a long coding session or when there are like 5 mins left. IMO this should be a whole separate, no-holds barred conversation, if the technical rounds went well.

Infrastructure will never become a priority because infrastructure at its core is a liability. Applications are profit centers. People and technology are investment centers. Infrastructure is a cost center. Your only role in infrastructure is to bleed less and die slower.

Einstein worked out relativity by finding the smartest physicist in his grad school program, dating her, having her do 1/2 his homework, getting her pregnant so she dropped out, then publishing both his and her work as his own, and then sealing her notes.🤷🏿‍♂️ A+B is "him and her."
