We offer candidates pay for any code they write for us in "real" projects we use to judge them on. Only fair and square.
Re:Apple Announces Full WebRTC Support in Safari 11

We at Lookback use WebRTC to do live streaming research sessions for desktop, iOS, and Android. Works pretty neat, even though you need a SFU (a rebroadcaster) to support heavier load than a few peers watching. So the style of doing P2P for video sort of gets lost anyway ..

Re:Living in Switzerland ruined me for America and its lousy work cult...

The U.S. is very behind many European countries in the work-life balance department. It's kinda surprising that America – with its liberal policies for private companies – is so backwards when it comes to caring about their employees.
The points in the article could apply to policies/norms in Sweden as well. Here, we get at least 4 weeks of paid vacation per year, as well as some insurances and a very generous parental leave (1 year for each parent).

It's a card game where a group of people piece together sentences with cards with phrases and words. One of the funniest "party games" I've played.

The idea of that "good design" is something you "just recognize" is somewhat related to the ideas in the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", but replaced with "Quality". Really good read.
