> It is impossible for any thinking person to believe that a company whose core competency is essentially "the ability to find anything" would be totally stumped on how to find a single black engineer. The only reasonable conclusion is that they have no real desire to do so.
Having run many hiring and recruiting campaigns (dozens, for several companies, seeking both experienced professionals and, at other times, students from the soon-to-be-graduating class at top colleges) -- there are very few blacks in the available pool.
Asians? Many.
Indians? Many.
Whites? Plenty.
It is a pipeline problem. Saying "no" to a hundred Asian applicants isn't a problem, because there are so many.
Saying "no" to a single black candidate can be a real problem because there are simply so tragically few.
I hope my next round of recruiting is met with a greater pool of candidates (experienced or fresh graduates), for the benefit of all parties involved.
Can we collectively move on from single character variable names?
The code examples are full of variables like "q" "a" and "v" -- it slows down everything as we must grok the surrounding statements like some kind of Rosetta Stone to interpret what "a" could possibly be in this context.
Great. Use Docker.
If the answer to those questions is "no" then don't use Docker.
That's my rule of thumb.
