At a certain level we all should ditch companies for giving these monstrous coding challenges or they'll probably never learn. E.g. I think it's ridiculous to let people write code when applying to Senior Developer or even worse Software Architect positions. If you can't find out otherwise if the person is a fit or not you're doing it wrong.

I would like to add: - Let senior engineers or architects do coding challenges - Ask stupid questions like "What's the runtime of bubble sort?"

Re:.gay Generic Top Level Domain(gTLD.) is now open for public on Thursday September 17, 2020 @10:14AM (#24504867)
The commonly in informal speech used phrases "that's so gay" or "that person is gay" together with the recommendation of using it as subdomain led me to the clue that the intended use case is to "joke about" or "blame" people more than using it of a way to broadcast someones sexuality to the public

I did not expect that people here would have needed that reminder to not come up with "funny" ideas

Only sad, that the City of Munich decided to ditch Linux for Microsoft again, shortly after Microsoft decided to move its Office to Munich... https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Rueckkehr-zu-Microso...
