I hate reading an article without a date!! Completely agree with this rant!

@Vuetiful My angular take on this subject is not to react and vue each scenario and then make a decision.

;)

Concurrency and IO will be your blockers. If you plan on running a layer on top of Git like gitlab, then I wouldn't recommend it.

If it's only Git that you'll connect using SSH, then you can run with it

A valid question!

I was recently called on to debug a website that was making chrome consume 70% CPU on a particular page.

My first instinct was it should be a JS issue - perhaps a loop that's not ending. So I turned off JavaScript in the dev tools and to my surprise, the CPU utilization was still hovering at around 65%.

I then proceeded to profile the page with JS still disabled and found that the page was redrawing itself continuously. The reason for that was a loader animation implemented in CSS using keyframes instead of using a gif. Ugh!

@h3ll Yep. Very customizable! Stays always on and can be invoked on a hotkey. I've mapped ` (back tick) for it

Used cmder a lot before I moved to Ubuntu. Now I use gauke

Comment until QA release. Remove before staging. You'd better have figured out what to do with the code by then. :-)

"I need some space"

Yes! Yes, you can! 😀

I'm going to play the devil's advocate here. The fact that they are a "senior" is because they are held liable if anything goes wrong. Hence they are more resistant to change.

Having said that, I have seen experienced people ignore good advice many times, which is not good. But hey, they are still liable, right?

Funny, but devRant isn't only for Java devs though.. :-P

@lotd Nice tool!

@enchance Migrations allow you to bind the application changes to the DB changes and version them both. Otherwise, you'll have to remember to propagate the DB changes manually during each release.

This can be error prone and a maintainability nightmare especially if you want to rollback changes.

Consider moving to migrations. It's really not very difficult and I'm sure you'll appreciate the value it provides.

Somebody forced them to use laravel I think. Lol.

Agree with @h3ll. I still wonder why WordPress hasn't been rewritten yet. It's a great piece of software and I began learning about web dev from it. But, when I look at modern frameworks, WordPress is somewhat lacking in many aspects.

Having said that, don't fix something that works, right? :-)

Damn! All the best.

You probably added a lot of bugs in someone else's code. :-P

@sulemartin87 Haha.. Fingers crossed Google hasn't indexed it yet.. Try doing a site search :-P

RTFM! RTFM! RTFM!

'Echo'es to where? Somewhere into the generated html? 😱

@tulanator Did you try to find out (post-interview) what an acceptable answer was for the question? (According to the person interviewing you)

Since they have been deleted, there is no way of knowing if they were really the best, right? Looks like we are stuck in a conundrum. :-P

@Elkstorm Well, as I understand it, there is no right answer to that question - which is why it is a great question. Let me explain. When you ask someone how Google works, you'll get varied answers based on their education and experience (E&E). Now, when you ask that to a programmer who is expected to build something similar to Google, it will expose his level of E&E around the technical aspects of what goes into making what Google is, and does. Now, nobody is expected to know everything about Google - certainly it has taken several million man-hours* to create it. But, the programmer's E&E reveals which parts of the technology he understands and whether what he understands is something you are looking for in him. The answer, if not anything, reveals the interest level of the candidate.

Having said that, however great this question is, it isn't the only question that you should hire based on - but, this definitely sets the tone for further questions that follow.

* Personal estimate.

I've seen some applications use this method too. Kind of defeats the purpose of http codes.

It is actually a great question. Except asking it for the position of an intern is an overkill.

Lol.. If only..

You are grossly underestimating Microsoft :-|

If you've implemented what's there in the linked article, it looks right to me. 👍

Hope you did not talk about devRant.. No one here wants the risk of having her here.. :-P

That's a scary dog!
