    If you won the lottery, what’s the first irresponsible thing you’d do with the money?

    No paying off student loans, no buying your parents a house. It has to be irresponsible but not necessarily indefensible. Great icebreaker question.





  • I find that when you know how to use Github, Github is pretty easy and close to perfect for what it is, a code repository.

    I think that most people who stumble across a Github link through a Google search, probably like in the original post, want to treat it like an app store. The read.me is the description, so they can tell it kind of does what they need, but they’re missing a big, green download and install button.


  • The problem with github isn’t really a problem. It’s just accessible enough to borderline tech people who want a one click solution to a problem. They can find it, but using it requires more skill than they have. It’s a code repository, not an app store. The most useful things I find on github aren’t from some massive app developer, they’re from some guy who happened to have the same problem as me. Rather than screaming at that guy for an executable, level up. Learn something.



  • I disagree.

    If the story is true, Tim coaches the new hires and on boards them into the environment. Tim serves as a sound board for the senior techs, since he’s privy to the larger departmental scope. He is the point of contact for the team.

    The manager telling the story needs to be fired. Tim is doing his job.

    The manager here only serves to add a layer between Tim and management that is ultimately unnecessary, as the story proves.

    Fire the manager. Promote Tim.
