We had the books on black men and black women in history by the same author. Each biography is only a page or two, but I found them interesting.

The point of fizz-buzz was to serve as a simple filter at the front end of the interview process. It should be simple, but a surprising number of job candidates were unable to do it.

I've always been afraid of pairing. I don't know how well others would appreciate my periods of daydreaming followed by periods of hyper-fixated focus.

When your team owns an application you have no background knowledge in, and it uses a technology that you haven't touched since you attended a training 18 months ago; I would assume that your on-call response for any non-trivial issue would still be to page someone for help.

In my experience, pair and mob programming are just yet another scenario where neuro-atypical people are punished for approaching their work differently.

I have long thought that pair programming and open offices were yet another way of punishing anyone who is neuro-atypical.

Des Moines offers residential tax abatement on new construction and home improvements from renovation, a deal very similar to what Apple is receiving.

I use a cycling poncho, fenders, and chain guard. I only ride about 3 miles, but even in the worst weather I only get wet from about mid-shin down, and even then only enough to be bothersome in the worst weather.

I take it you prefer CORBA?
