what's the deal with the loop example? am i supposed to understand what this represents before going through the material?
what a weird thing to emulate. player coaching is super rare and there were very few good ones in the last 40 years.

why not, managers should be like left handed specialist relievers, they come in for a short time to handle a specific issue and otherwise let the team alone

Ah interesting. Thanks
Re:$100K fee added to H1B applications on Friday September 19, 2025 @10:36PM (#45309719)
How is that possible ? Doesn't h1b have to pay within a set range of wages?

Every h1b role I see posted at my bank pays more than I make so I don't get the lower paid comments

LGA does it way better, but the walk is a bit longer.

i mean, you could call them up
in our app each user polls for a resource availability every 5 mins. do we really need "connection successful" 500x per minute? i dont see this as breaking up the logs into smaller sections. i see it as noise. i'd much rather have a ton of "connection failed" whenever that occurs than the "success" constantly

the business users asked for it, ergo it makes sense ipso facto
Re:I failed a take-home assignment from Kagi Search on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @06:23PM (#43989803)
if you are asking candidates to complete a take home you should provide at least a partial rubric of how the project will be evaluated.

if you can't provide that then i think you haven't created one, and if you haven't created one i'm guaranteed to be wasting my time because you're just doing vibe interviewing.

Re:Ask HN: What is the current driver of tech layoffs? on Friday January 12, 2024 @09:19AM (#38968198)
They've been saying "rescession soon" for 2 years. Wasn't gdp growth like 5% last quarter? Doesn't indicate a recession to me.
Re:Ask HN: What is the current driver of tech layoffs? on Friday January 12, 2024 @09:16AM (#38968172)
Why does an election year indicate a recession?

Rather, who precisely wants a recession now, in your opinion?

I always assumed the podcast was current with the show but it seems like it's about 4 weeks behind.

e.g. I have Tycho Brahe on March 2 in my podcast app, rss shows it released Feb 2.

the Paris Review often prints draft versions of significant stories, poems, essays, etc. with editorial notes and marginalia on them. It really helps to see how these things weren't always in their final state.
