How are you supposed to install an ad blocker on an app?

I did a backup and complete restore. It went from completely unusable to annoyingly usable. Still considering downgrading to 10.3

It's the sense of belonging... employees didn't get jackets because they were cold and asked the company to buy one for them...

Uber not doing anything about it is that "discriminatory, anti-women culture" you're looking for.

Even if you have a weak academic and employment background you can ABSOLUTELY get a dev job that won't be designed to fuck you over, like this one is.

You might have to move, you might have to get a (paying) internship (they definitely exist), and you might have to send out some cold emails to people you don't know to ask. But there's no reason you should be waiting tables.

It would be awesome if they could interview as a team instead of individually.

This is cool, but to really make this game changing they'd revamp their interview process to interview all members together (or in pairs of 2-3) some people just perform better with their partner and the interview process itself should account for it (if they're assuming that's true).

I think (know) many companies actually do this informally all the time. It's fairly common to hire designers in particular this way. Stripe is smart to formally and publically announce a streamlined process. Obviously the whole point here is either everyone or no one gets an offer - honestly if I had to guess the amount of people they actually hire this way will be really small, but making it formal will increase the number of talented people they see total.

Besides the influx of tech people moving to San Francisco in the last 5-10 years (many of whom disappear in a downswing, ask anyone living in SF for 99-05), I haven't heard or seen anything that suggests the mass adoption of countercultural criticisms have at all influenced social awkwardness or atomization in CA. It's a BIG state.

There's no historic surplus of men. It's entirely created by selective abortions.

Great post. I've seen feedback from hundreds and hundreds of interviews, both technical and non, and by far the most common reason for rejecting someone is they did not answer the interviewer's question directly.

Speaking in specifics is important, but more broadly, you didn't do well because you didn't actually answer the question asked. People often get tripped up in their explaination of the answer, or their theory or thinking behind it and just forget to say what they actually did.

Your experience (and others like it) is the reason Airbnb decided to redo recruiting from the ground up. Almost the entire recruiting team has been hired in the last 2.5 years. Clearly it needed to happen.

Searching for Blast Theory it looks like it may be already available but called Chat To Me?
