Hm never thought about reading commit history. I’ll try it.
Yeah, that’s my main priority, but I like to read outside of work hours.

Ask HN: What book will make me a better big project programmer?

I started on a team that has a 100k+ lines Java codebase. The code can be difficult to understand and it has the typical situation of every class having too many dependencies.I have 10 years of experience, but I’m new to Java. Which book should I start with that will help me make the code better for everyone?

As someone living in Bay Area, I think the biggest reasons for loneliness here are:

- nobody shares common roots.

- it's difficult to travel to meeting places.

True Skate for iPhone. I had a job that I hated and I played this game for fifteen minutes. It helped me relax.
Curious about opinions about this model of interviewing?

I think a lot of software engineers are not good or simply afraid of presenting in front of others. It's one of the most common fears that people have. That doesn't mean they're not good team players and it most certainly doesn't mean that they are not good engineers.

One of the main goals of this interview process seems to be discovery of talent that doesn't do well on whiteboard interviews. I don't know if they have considered the amount of talent they won't be discovering, because these people are not good at presenting in front of strangers which are judging the quality of their presentation.
