3. Ability to validate code.I hate live-coding interviews. If someone is watching me, I forget how to even type. Obviously my 30+ years of writing code, all my open source stuff, my extensive resume, all those papers and conference presentations were just me faking it.

@rk @norootcause ever since Google made me write code (not pseudo code, not math) on a fucking white board during an staff engineer interview, I have seen them as an indication of pompous douchebags hazing people.
Nobody writes code like that.
I honestly thought people were exaggerating how stupid they were.

Once it was owners and a coder (trust me, run the other direction if approached thusly). Once it was a sales / clerical and two nerds; that was a pretty kickass gig

But do you remember how to vibe? I'm told that's all that matters any more! -

@norootcause @shriramk @rk isn't that what a prototype or say, a log visualizer or other tooling is for? I vibe so much "peripheral" things that are there mostly to help me play and understand the main problem, at which point I can hopefully do a fairly reliable review. Example from today, learning cozodb/cozoscript. full vibe, incredibly useful.

3. Ability to validate code.@norootcause They never seem to test me on the classic "can you duct tape something together that will come in under budget and somehow wheeze along without maintenance for 20 years?" question in those interviews.

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey this is like watching people fall in love on discord, but more usefully to humanity

@rey@toot.cat @alyx@frogs.lgbt @ajroach42@retro.social @vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de you don't need a license for a forklift, just $100 and a driver at the nearest soda bottling plant who'd like a free long lunch across town :fingerguns:

@alyx @djsundog @ajroach42 @vfrmedia now is the time when we get to find out who in Seattle has a forklift license

@informapirata @informatica guardiamo il lato positivo, il progetto è stato appena lanciato e sono sicuro abbia ampi margini di miglioramento.

@djsundog @ajroach42 @vfrmedia @rey as long as that u-haul has a liftgate, sure
