We were hiring for senior devs java/spring boot so I coded a tiny "Todo app" rest API, basically a single crud controller, and filled the code with many mistakes. Some obvious, some less obvious. Missing authentication, no tests, logging with System.out etc.. then we ask the candidate to review the code (we provide a laptop with a few IDEs but no AI tools). When they point out errors, I get them to explain why they are errors by playing the junior engineer to see how they explain technical issues to someone that might not have the same understanding I am not looking for them to find all issues but if they can't find at least some it's a red flag. It takes about 20-25 minutes and gives really good insights. The other 30 minutes we asked some questions about past projects and some technical questions

So far it provided good signals

In Intellij if you open a PR it will highlight lines that have changed in the PR differently (even from multiple commits) and you can click on the colored border to see the version of the code on the main branch

About workflow recovery: if I'm running multiple instance of my app that uses DBOS and they all crash, how do you divide the work of retrying pending workflows?

Interesting design but a bit hard to use on mobile :) will have to check it out later

To be fair if the fixes are trivial they shouldn't need any extra context from a ticket to understand

The direct links are giving a 404 for me

A Csv editor/viewer in Rust using druid. Very early stage, but the goal is to open large files (1 GB and over) easily and have some good filtering / sorting options. Excel stops at a certain amount of rows, LibreOffice is ok but slow and other editors I looked are not cross platform I know you can just import a Csv into a sql DB but it can be finicky it can take some time to map the columns, filter out invalid data etc. This can and should be all be automated
