Re:Ask HN: Do you have a dedicated QA team? on Friday March 25, 2022 @01:06PM (#30804657)
We do have QA team(2 members, 30+ engineers) but they are not the gate keepers for releases.

Developers write all sorts of tests(TDD + pair programming helps), and when we need an extra pair of eyes, we ask the product team to have a look at it.

But that's about it. QA's are involved more in the creative side of things post releases or have an independent path to see where the things could go wrong, more like doing monkey testing.

Re:Software correctness is a lot like flossing (2020) on Friday February 04, 2022 @04:08AM (#30204495)
I agree that types can help with sanity of data flowing in and out, but how do you check the correctness of program with types?

Example: your function is doing some complex calculation, while the inputs types can be strongly checked and output types can be checked, but the logic has to be tested by writing unit tests right?

The original comment which i replied to suggests that we can get rid of TDD only if we employ using type systems, which i feel is over exaggeration of the benefits of the types

ps: Thanks for the upvote :)

Types have nothing to do with correctness. The maximum you can be assured of you will be getting a integer, instead of string.

But who's going to verify the logic if not tests, types won't be of much use here.

I don't think the retards on Reddit made any serious money, the big guys like chamath, other hedge funds have made good money on betting against shorts.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2020) on Thursday July 02, 2020 @05:29AM (#23711462)
What was your salary in your last jobs (demonstrable)? Specify the salary you get in one month and in USD.

This is present in the form. This is not only impolite but also borderline illegal. Why do you care about the past salary so much than the value the person brings to the table
