Anyone else think this is bullshit? It's just an outline of what an automated bot would have to do to work with some technical buzzwords mixed in.

Not saying it's not doable, nor that OP didn't actually do it... but I am tired of all these people posting technical fantasies to improve their social presence.

Absolutely. It's not easy being on minimum wage. But most people don't know what they are talking about. A good example: https://twitter.com/gwynethpaltrow/status/586168041576116224...

Could you link to some resources to help understand this kind of stuff? It's hard to navigate between all the numbers people at startup throw like it's always good things.

For example in your case why was it bullshit? It sounds like you potentially own less but it got more expensive.

Curious about the 2. JWTs are signed via a secret key right? Couldn't the backend verify the signature and reject the token. I am pretty confident most JWT implementation does that automatically.

The dude just didn't think about that or looked into how JWTs work. Which I believe is even worse :<

I agree with you. You are most likely being downvoted by his fans. But this video (and all his others apparently) is empty of substance.

Yep I guessed. And that's a good thing. But they should make sure the call environment is optimal (good reception, no background noise, ...) and the interviewer sounds eager to receive questions.

Same experience. Lots of noise making it hard to ask questions. The guy sounded like he was blackmailed to do that kind of job. He asked me to "sum the contiguous number in the array". So I start writing the code looping through the array, finding the boundaries and adding the elements. After 15min the guy is like "why did you add the elements? I asked you to summarize them."

Ok. Never answered their email again.

Apologies. I thought you took the previous comment as a definition for what is stoicism.

Ancient greek stoicists didn't retreat from social duties. The core virtues of stoicism are the opposite of what you wrote.

They would take part on actions against injustices. But they would try to be guided by reason rather than emotions.

Once I landed back home in Paris on a Sunday. I couldn't find any grocery store open. I couldn't find any restaurant open. I lived there 20 years and I was honestly lost... I literally forgot how different NYC and Paris were. I ended up eating at McDonalds...

That is a bit disdainful. It has at the very least value for him. Isn't it the most important?

Advice from a french expat in the US: do not. The image of France you have in mind does not exist. Go in vacation in Paris or in the south. It is a beautiful country. But do not move there.

It's dramatic... Wasn't the drone their come back strategy?

I actually played Chrono Trigger out of nostalgia. I was actually sure I would give up along the way as before... And I didn't. I was really into it and I had a lot of fun.

I then ordered a ps4 and I am catching up on everything I missed! ;)

I think you're absolutely right. Lack of attention makes it impossible to immerse yourself into anything. Even something as fun and beautiful as video games.

I stopped playing video games like 10 years ago for the same reason stated in this article: I couldn't finish any new game I started.

But I recently started to play again after years of no touching one. I weirdly enough I love it again. I can play solo games, enjoy them and finish them. I can play online games and enjoy the competition.

I think a lot has to do with how people cannot focus anymore on anything more than 10 minutes. I used to be like that. Checking phone notification, look at reddit every 5 minutes, etc. I worked on it for a long time. Stop running after the quick gratifications and enjoy the long term. And now I am back to being a gamer :)

I wonder if I am once again too negative. But what the hell?

Valuation doesn't mean anything I know. But how can they raise so much money on a product like this? What's the monetization available behind this apart from selling user data.

I never quite understood how goodwill is calculated. I mean, I can understand how ATVI (Activision) or HAS (Hasbro) can have big "goodwill". But it doesn't make sense for CTL. Do you have any explanation?

Not sure if that's what you're implying but the quality of 3d printed objects for mass consumers (toys, games, ...) is still too bad and the price way too high to be successful anytime soon.

Since when people cannot chose their favorite candidate without being ostracised?

Why do you say that? Just curious.

I would be curious about Salesforce strategy if that happens.

Maybe they hardcoded the data in the views. Might be the cool way to do it soon enough.

These are my favorite interviews. I can't just let the interviewers go when I sense some bullshit... I mean if you want to drill people on something it should be expected you know everything about it. No surprise I fail most interviews!

Like the CTO of a famous startup who didn't understand that the order of a multicolumn index has some importance. I died a few minutes later when he told me I should add an index on a boolean (whereas the queries didn't use it) because it would speed up the queries by 2. Best day of my life.

> Referring someone for an interview and watching them get turned down was, for me at least, about 80% of the psychic cost of applying myself and getting turned down.

Wow it actually makes a lot of sense. Especially since you seemed to handpick candidates and vouch for them from a technical point of view.

I wonder if classic recruiters have this problem as they (most of the time) just bet on the number and are not invested personally.

He acted on what he believed. That fact doesn't make him a clown to me.

The dude sailed boats in the unknown to give humanity new horizons. Who cares if he was wrong at the start.

I am not a hater. I rather like it even.

Database dump and log files are just good example of potentially big text files. They should be usable in any text editor. Not looking at the issue is not a good way to build software.

Try opening a database dump or a log file in Atom. It is slow and it will crash.

Why would Babel change drastically the way you organize your code? Isn't it a just compiler?

> cause it's just adding a column

This kind of mentality is why most applications are shit and broken. And why most hires are worthless.

And everyone is not working on a cookie cutter over-bloated rails website. Sorry but this kind of remark simplifying our job always pisses me off.
