This may have been discuss adnauseum before but here goes:We run weekly sprint and require engineers to log hours on work accomplished to calculated actuals vs original estimates. As with any setup, engineers don't see the value in logging hours. Because, we aren't billing a customer directly I am a bit baffled on why we would also.Is there any way to get velocity from a sprint based on...
well, you can't put a price tag on knowledge and discovery :)
We do a similar thing at our office. Phone interview to make sure basics are known and then a "homework" assignment. This weeds out a lot of folks who can't cut it. Then the interview itself we can get the social aspect out of the way.
Sometimes a candidate is a good coder but a horrible communicator or human :|
The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. We will keep moving forward. We have systemic issues we need to address in the country and if they don't get addressed in this cycle it'll get worse in the next. We have major income inequality. We have an issue with tax avoidance and we have a problem with US Companies dumping workers for foreign labor. We also have a healthcare issue that needs to be solved. I doubt this Republican majority will be able to touch any of it but these are still problems and will remain so until we find a solution.
Those old jobs are never coming back.
Those factory jobs are not coming back. The wall will not get built and it would not even work. What we will have is some NYC cronyism and wealth inequality increases. We may even have a recession if they decided to touch any trade agreement or increase tariffs ( based on debt load private and public institutions have). Whomever inherited the white house was going to have a bad time, this will just have to go on Trumps shoulders. :) 2018 you'll see a democrat majority in Congress.
The cult of Steve Jobs is getting a resurgence on Hacker News?
Side note, guy sounds out of breath...
At least get your site to work... I just have to talk to relatives to talk to a Trump supporter. Logic does not work with the anecdotal trump supporter I've talked to.
Hey Paul, why not get rid of all the legalese and make this bird free? "Do what you want, no warranty"
Trump reminds me of Kaiser Wilhelm.. Good luck America!
Even if Trump is not being funded, influenced etc by Russia he's amateur at best. I almost compare Trump to a Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Not a great statesman and would create a terrible political environment and make major mistakes. :( It only takes one weak president and combined with a horrible congress and we're gonna have a bad 4-8 years.
I didn't make it past the bar pic :(
I'm looking to buy in LA and everything is old as shiz and over 800k :(
Oh well, at least I can rep the 323 and shout tupac lines
I've been working remote for over 6 years :(
I agree, but I imagine your blood pressure is through the roof with such a critique.
Peanut butter and jelly bro!
This is the same guy who later said, " I wish I went the management route".
All of this is caused by too many humans. Too much livestock, overfishing, pollution from energy, cars etc... Root cause, us.
This reads like an advertisement.
This seems fairly tame... How about folks yelling at you to finish your project and verbally berating you.
All these libraries make me sad.
Must be getting desperate to find talent.
Someone has to be a buzzkill :(
Google voice search is impressive and anecdotal, for me, more accurate that siri and cortana in how it interprets my voice to text. Is there any insight into the hardware needed to run their neural network and store the learned material?
