  • You prepare for these by doing specific exercises for them, sad as it may seem.

    Leetcoding problems? You grind them out for a month or two to prepare for doing them during interview loops.

    Mock interviews can help too, to get you better at handling the stress. You can use services/groups for these, or just go interview for random places you’re not necessarily planning to actually say yes to.





  • Agreed. If your commits are reasonably structured, rebasing is far more helpful.

    Although these days I usually opt for one ball-of-mud commit while developing the code, which is always fairly trivial to rebase - only one commit, can’t have follow-up issues - and then I redo the commit structure from scratch as a part of preparing the code for the benefit of the reviewer.




  • Well, you might be inclined to not roll the feature out at all, depending on the results you see from the rollout/an A/B-test. Also, having it written out with a date in the changelog binds you to that date, unless you want the embarrassment of not shipping on a promised time. Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

    I agree that getting cute with the changelog messages is a bit stale. Might as well not add anything at that point.








  • An interesting point - I checked, and as far as I can tell, non-citizens can be charged with treason in the U.K, so long as they are considered under the jurisdiction of the U.K - “alien residents” for example are covered, and probably temporary visitors to the country as well. It would likely be up to judicial interpretation whether attempting the coup virtually would qualify, but I’d assume it might.

    The serious take would be that this comment is too mild to qualify for treason, but one could always hope.
