Maybe they should just let it go


I see what you did there.


Could be greatest head fake in military history if Russia trying to convince Ukraine that things are chaotic to lure them into an over confident state.


Find something to take care of or dedicate time teaching someone something they don’t know. Both can be amazing life changing experiences.


Well said


How many of these commenters work at Cloudflare? :)


Ha I was thinking the same


Unless you plan to invest extensive measures to keep rats away, I advise against it. My suburb in Oregon has been dealing with rat problems for several years now bc of poorly managed chicken coops in private residences. New laws likely coming soon.


This is my standard practice - I give a real world data fix script that has been simplified to understand and comment on in 20 minutes. The interviewee is the code reviewer before it gets run in production. It covers things like performance, security, typical syntax mistakes, and working with sensitive data. The best part is actually not the script, but the stories it triggers about past challenges.

Yeah I've also been using this approach for Fullstack Devd: A small page with a bit of CRUD + a small ticket description of what the page is supposed to do.

The code contains various bugs or questionable implementations, the interviewee is supposed to analyze the code and to either fix the issues right away or to write comments.

Nobody is expected to get everything right within the time slot, but I've found it to be a great test on how a candidate might perform in their day to day work.


I think it’s fine to have this as part of your interview but I would be worried to have it as the only thing.


I am sure someone already said it but, bus driver / janitor? The age can’t be higher bc they CAN’T AFFORD to retire or leave their jobs. They have been doing it forever and likely depend on more years to solidify a pension.


Peloton and Docusign are two drastically different companies, on very different trajectories. Before the pandemic, the busiest mall in my town had a Peloton pop up store that was a ghost town EVERY time I walked by it (I couldn’t even count the amount of times I went by it). This narrative about “pandemic stocks” just feels like lazy regurgitation without looking in depth. PS Tesla did fine with earnings.
