geoelkh··on Ask HN: What makes a good senior frontend coding interview?
Project based but on-site for like one or two hours. Something where they consume a public api and build a UI usually a list on it. Will allow you to see their dev setup, etc... This will give you by far the most signals.

Discussions around state management, js libraries (react, vue, etc...), testing strategies (storybook, etc...) should also give you some signals too on their experience.

geoelkh··on Binance is fucked
Anyone can explain "the bank is closed" thing? Any legitimacy to this or just CZ attempting to calm the crowd to stop the withdrawls?

geoelkh··on Why long-term plans don't work and how to fix them
This is a great article.

I once gave a version of this to a manager and he replied by telling me that nothing gets done without a deadline.

He kinda made a point. Curious to see what people think about this?

geoelkh··on Calling for public input on our approach to world leaders
How do we give feedback?

I think Twitter should allow trusted/editorial account that shows prominently (even part of the tweet itself) on world leaders tweets.

This will be NYTs, Washington Post, etc... of the world.

The big plus here is we return the editorial part of these institutions. Imo, these used to be net positive on the society (see Watergate during Nixon)

Twitter will pick the list of editors (kind of what they currently do with the verified account) The bar to be an editor needs to be high and a trusted source of news.

Zoom buying it instead would be huge
geoelkh··on Abusing Teams client protocol to bypass Teams security policies
Agree. The backend tells you what is allowed and you override it and it shows that it is allowed now :)

The real issue would have been if the user did these actions and there was no backend validations on them. The video does not cover this.
