Been reading an Elisp introduction and just noticed double spaces between sentences. Turns out, back in the typewriter days, writers used double spaces to improve readability with monospaced fonts.

@arorachakit Nobody mentions computer science and software engineering practices these days? 😔

It’s always exciting to discover etymology of everyday use words. I’ve just learned why smoke tests are named so.

I always pictured @nikitonsky as that guy in a hood 👆. Who just makes great stuff and is not even bothering with planning, GTD, personal optimization, and such things. Am I right?

[Vitaly Kravtsov @krvital]

The problem is most of us think they are already on the right side and act accordingly

How to become that man with a hood? Is it possible? Is it necessary to go through that middle state?

@Waterplea Haha, I have exact opposite stereotype in my mind. How is it possible to be UI developer and bear with seeing Android (material) UI every day?

Another nice interview was with @evilmartians. They do async interviews so you don't have to plan all those interview calls. Also, @sitnikcode provides a thorough review so that some developers can use it as a learning plan.

[Vitaly Kravtsov @krvital]

Frontend job interviews are broken.
Over the last six years, I've gone through dozens of interviews. Most interviewers asked me those "tricky javascript" questions that every junior can learn in a week. Only a few asked me to solve real UI problems.

[Vitaly Kravtsov @krvital]

One example of the interview that I liked.
Once I was asked to implement an ATM emulator as a JS app. It showed my basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, understanding routing and state management, and I even had to reread what dynamic programming is to solve the knapsack problem.

@nikitonsky This joke went too far
