Why not just play a new song, or a song in a different way? Maybe speedrun some set of etudes challenge.

It sounds like an interesting niche to target. My questions are 1) how do you build your username? I feel like dating apps need a certain critical mass of users before it can be successful. 2) on that topic, dating services always have a highly disproportionate number of males to females. In tech I assume it is much worse. Do you think this is a concern for you? 3) what are TC and GTFO?

ctrl-T in chrome to restore your tabs!

To be clear, this is Ctrl+Shift+T . I know you had T in capitals, but keyboard keys are normally written that way

CTRL+T opens a new tab

indeed.. I don't look at the case of a letter to determine when to press "Shift" needs to be written explicitly

I'd say it's fair enough to consider markup as code ("code" in the sense of morse code)

what's wrong with that? surely a c developer would know their tools. I wouldn't call it a stretch to ask if a java developer could explain maven

Pretty much the same thing that would be wrong with asking a javascript dev to explain grunt.

What if that C++ dev primarily uses visual C++ and Visual studios projects? What if the C++ dev primarily used Cmake, ninja, or scion (or any of the other thousands of C++ build tools).

What if that C++ dev never really needed to start a project from scratch?

The issue is testing someone on minutia doesn't tell you anything about how capable they are. In particular, testing them on minutia that they very likely rarely interact with is beyond pointless.

> What if that C++ dev primarily uses visual C++ and Visual studios projects? What if the C++ dev primarily used Cmake, ninja, or scion (or any of the other thousands of C++ build tools).

Then it's an opportunity for the candidate to explain the tools they do use.

There are certainly bad interviewers out there who misuse these kinds of questions, but I think they're fine if used as conversation starters.

if it makes any difference, I was referring to C, for which Make is the majority, I think - could be wrong, though, since I'm not a c developer.

But to the point, I'm not sure if the code at issue would be considered minutiae or not, but I believe that the more curious you are, the more you tend to dig into the details, and a person doing this over many years would attain a rich knowledge-base spanning depth and breadth. I know as a java developer that I've referred innumerable times the docs for the POM and settings structure in order to explore the limits of customizing my build, which would include the rather obscure features. Not saying this is technically comparable to meta tags in html, but maybe that's what the author was going for.

It's not that they can't technically answer it.

It's that the signal you're gonna get out of such an interview is gonna be so low that whoever you end up hiring is mostly going to be due to chance + how much you "liked" them.

I don't have an answer for op, just I would like to understand more of this. As someone who has never made it big, I can only think that'd I could never stop being motivated in spite of great and sudden wealth. Can I ask, what motivated you to found the startups? and what were you looking to achieve, long-term, by investing?

What boosted my gains in kubernetes was this book, which I didn't even have to read all the way. Kubernetes in Action by Marco Lukša. After that, consuming the docs was easier.

Thanks for this recommendation, according to the table of contents and reading a few chapters that’s exactly what I was looking for :)

I bought the (in progress) second edition on Manning (it comes with the physical book when it’s published, the ebooks for both the first and second edition and a +1 free ebook to give someone).

Author's name is Marko. Nevertheless, I suggest the same. He published second edition of it this year.
