I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role.

They asked me about my experience with Kafka.

I told them how in “Metamorphosis” someone can lose their worth in others’ eyes the moment they stop being useful. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity.

I told them how in “The Trial” he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary, unaccountable, and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains can’t handle overwhelming inconsistency.

I told them how in “The Castle”, we learn that seeking an approval from an unreachable authority is a trap. If you spend your life chasing validation from humans who don’t care, you’ll end up feeling stuck. The pursuit consumes more than the reward it gives.

I didn’t get the job. The market is tough.

I’ve been a programmer for 20 years. I will not do well with your whiteboard technical interview process. Does that say more about me or about your process?

Business meeting. Major client. Will be moving from their London data center to one in Germany due to #Brexit — I wonder how much cash the UK is losing just through this.

Our requests are eminently reasonable, shared by leaders of both parties. I'll return this letter to @SenateMajLdr with the same requests.

@ph1 @jahnnie @cassiend Wild Assertion: Most "RESTful API's" don't follow Roy Fielding's defn. They are just a series of RPC's.

@ph1 @jahnnie @cassiend HTTP in #IOT is usually a poor choice. #MQTT or #CoAP better. #WebSockets is choice always on devices

[mat henshall @mathenshall]

@ph1 @jahnnie @cassiend MQTT default in Amazon #IOT and #IIOT. Should be in next radar.
