For those on k8s: quick reminder, unless you're in development mode your image pull policy should be IfNotPresent so you have at least some measure of caching to protect you from further degradation of service.

Beyond this, I'm updating things to use GCR so that if this bleeds into tomorrow my team's development timeline isn't impacted any further.

I've conducted many interviews hiring for a growing tech company pulling from a large pool of new hires (4 major universities) as well as a metro with software pedigree.

With younger developers (or fresh grads) its about their propensity to learn rather than anything they've learned to do before, chances of a fresh grad having previously worked on something that would move the needle in 3 months are slim.

Reviewing their profile: prior internships and/or limited work experience offer are openers for how they might operate in a workplace, how they crack open problems and how well they handle the 'I don't know how to do this scenarios' (of which there will be many).

I refuse to whiteboard, so for the technical aspect, probe the keywords mentioned in order to ascertain what they were really accountable for and what is simply fluff, paying close attention to how they articulate their work and its impact at the company.

The rewards of a well-mentored junior developer are tremendous, though very time consuming at the onset, so make sure whomever you pick is a good fit that you'll be happy to work with.

  - JSON:
  . Added JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR flag. (Andrea)
A blessed day, prior to this, json_decode would simply return null on error.
