This looks cool, I’m going to try it out. Does this mean the code tool can detect the use of t.Skip and immediately ask for a refactor without my input? Because that would save me a lot of pain!
It’s been a while since I used it but I do remember that it doesn’t do a clean checkout and you can’t force it to. It leaves artifacts on the agent that can interfere with subsequent builds. I assume they do it for speed but it can affect reliability of builds
Try doing a clean git clone in TeamCity. Nope, not even with the plugins that claim “clean clone” capability. You should be confident that CI can build/run/test an app with a clean starting point. If the CI forces a cached state on an agent that you can’t clear… TeamCity just does it wrong.
Can you point me to a decently complex front end app, written by a small team, that is well written? I’ve seen one, Linear, but I’m interested to see more
Access to a driveway means that the first hurdle to own an EV is probably owning a suitable home. EVs will be a less practical option for future generations unless we can fix this broken financial system and inflated assets.
The tech you use to get code to production is so broad, asking these kinds of questions is at best a random chance of successfully hiring a good engineer. You may as well flip a coin.
A better approach is to ask a candidate something specific about their experience. Even if someone mentions “git expert” on their resume, the question is not what you proposed but instead asking about their experience and digging in from where they go. An engineer you’re interviewing may have fixed a bug in “git push” but not know anything about how “pull” or “rebase” works.
Yeah this happened to me and it killed my business. I didn’t have enough time to expand the business and I didn’t charge the first customer enough to scale it up with employees.
It was really the stress that killed it. Being in that situation was not fun and I ended up burning out and telling my big customer to go jump. They threatened to sue me and I was done so I just said “give it your best shot”. Nothing came of the threat in the end. The experience has left a lot of scars and after 15 years not all of them have healed.
I’ve hired 100+ people with around a 97% hit rate on hiring great employees and great engineers. I don’t look at whether they have a degree or not, I don’t care what school they went to. In my experience it provides no indication of whether they’re good or not.
How do you deal with “talking to the void” at the beginning? I speak publicly fairly regular and I get a lot of energy from people in the crowd. I’ve done some YouTube and converted that to podcast format. I can’t seem to get motivated to do it as I can’t see/interact with people. People I know in my niche community will tell me they watched my video or listened to the podcast, I think “oh that’s nice I guess” and I go back home to stare at a camera and I can’t seem to connect making a video with audience interaction. Is this a thing? How do you think I could deal with it?
It would be great if you could support Phoenix primarily and Rails. Any plans to go full stack not just JS UIs? Seems limiting if there’s no backend AI help.
