Wow, This really hits home. Senior Engineer here currently seeking a job. I had a really interesting test project - https://gist.github.com/cmerrick/d0d8812f1c31e625adfd3333263...
that was given after the first interview. I liked it way better than a test. I will say the majority of interviews have been fairly high level when discussing prior work and projects. Hopefully it will happen soon.
So does this mean our company will stop forcing this Avaya plugin into all the browsers? Just hopeful thinking. It has caused many hours of troubleshooting as it injects it's code into every page.
Yes, small cobblestone streets in Philly? I wonder how it handles other bad/rude drivers? In the video I saw it merging on to the freeway, but sometime you have to go over the speed limit to get in front of the car that is in the merge lane, will it be courteous to allow others to merge properly?
Yes the crazy thing is I remember going to London back in 90, and at that time in the US, most major stores would request that you checked backpacks in before going into the store, to prevent theft. I walked in to Tower records in Piccadilly Circus and handed my bag, expecting they would give me a claim check, and they were freaking out. As they had been sending out the same message at that time due to the IRA bombings. So they gave me the full instruction about unattended bags and how they were more worried over terrorism than theft. Crazy how it is common here 20 years later.
I think "Ad tech" is a bit too generic as there are many players, and pieces in this game and some are very legit, while the others they talk about are not. Unfortunately the bad guys, give them all the bad image.
I agree with this. Working for an ad tech company this is something that somewhat goes beyond our ability, as the site itself would have to add this feature or open this data to the company doing the ads. It's very annoying when you go to one of those other places and know they don't do this.
This was shown in the last episode of Arrow. Oliver was so mentally distraught over Felicity breaking up with him that he couldn't physically beat Vandal Savage, and all of Central City was destroyed.
Maybe he was, but you just totally spoiled it for everyone who doesn't get to see the latest episodes the moment they air. A lot of us outside the US don't even get the "current" season yet. Warning next time, please?
