Honestly, I just ask if they can solve FizzBuzz. It shows me how they approach problems, how they communicate their process, and that they know basic programming concepts. The rest of the interview just kinda tells me if I’d get along with them as a person. Most other things, good and bad, only show up over time.

Then again, I work with software that isn’t exceptionally complex.

Which means twice the savings when you unexpectedly lay them both off!

I opted out of the ability to have kids and am in a long term relationship with no intent to marry, unless a legal reason suddenly appears. I’m in my late 30’s and have I do have many friends who have gone down this route, some are more mature, successful, and/or happy than I am and some are not.

I’m a big advocate of those things not being a thoughtless choice, but something that a person takes a long time to think about before they try for either one. I’ve met way too many people who either, while they love their kid(s), don’t like how their life turned out because of them or are miserable in their marriages and will likely get a divorce.

Is it just me or does it look like they Photoshopped him in there. Like the scale of his body doesn’t seem to mesh with the rest of the pic.
