Latency is the issue for me more so than eye contact.
On video chat sometimes I’ll say something like “mmhmm” or “yes” in agreement, and accidentally throw the speaking party off because my comment was delivered after a normal pause in speech due to latency.
This interruption of normal conversation flow is more problematic to me than eye contact. We both know were speaking into machines after all.
I’d say negotiate away that clause or find another job. Company owning all IP outside work for the duration of employment is in my opinion a red flag. I’d not be surprised to learn they mistreat employees in other ways as well.
Design wise this looks similar to something teenage engineering would make. Which I think is cool, I like their stuff. Specifically the op1 with the hand crank functionality
It’s not wrong though. They are offering their terms, to which you are providing a counter offer that includes your terms. Standard negotiation practice.
Not following through with the fully executed agreement is what would be dishonest.
No. Close the chat app if you don't want to be interrupted.
Don’t impose your personal communication preferences to others.
There are far to many languages, cultures and personalities to think that you know better how to chat than someone else. Be nice and take time to communicate with your colleagues.
My “alternative” to rm is to use mv directly. I just mv files aside whenever I am not 100% confident they are safe/ready to delete permanently.
Personally I’m not a fan of shell environment customizations like this because they are often fragile and may vary between systems. I like to know exactly what commands I’m executing.
Out of curiosity how is one of two stick shakers activated obvious when each is connected to a different person? Is it common to ask “hey, is your stick shaker going too?” it seems possible that each pilot would assume the other was feelig the same feedback from the stick and go on troubleshooting elsewhere, but I have no experience with this.
Hosting a tech Q&A site doesn't make you the canonical source of how to structure interviews.
The live coding interview style was a toxic and negative contribution to the tech industry as a whole, IMO.
