Anything more than two interview rounds for anything below a C-level position is just nuts and an abuse of the candidate’s time. You can never cover all bases in the interview process, that’s what probation is for.

My in-laws brought me back a pack of 4 different craft beers from a trip recently. I can’t drink and enjoy them - way too hoppy. Even the Pilsner - and I like a good Pilsner - was not enjoyable at all. The one that’s left is the dark beer - going to be an expensive dirty Diesel one day.
I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You’re the one who started calling me names, so don’t lecture me on twisted knickers.
Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.
Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.
Any company with reasonably involved processes (read: more than three steps) should have clearly documented SOPs, policies and process documentation. This has nothing to do with the level people are at. I’m at senior level and sure as shit don’t remember every detail of something that was verbally communicated to me months ago unless I do it every single day, and even that’s error-prone. I write step by step instructions on processes for myself and everyone else.
Benefits of this approach:
Drawbacks of this approach:
I’m off by one, you’re off by one - shall we split the difference and I’ll overlook that even being merely technically correct I’m still closer than you, who’s both technically and objectively incorrect?
C’mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.
The recipe you’ve linked has more than two ingredients. To say that it’s ‘mayo on sliced sausage’ is misleading. We Germans are a smidgen more sophisticated than that.
I have one of those, it’s completely useless. It had novelty value but the eggs never came out the way I wanted them. I’ve gone back to a normal timer.
What’s giving me dementia is the fact that so many Americans want this guy to be president. Again.
The difference is, Devops isn’t a bubble that everyone is waiting for to pop. I’ve been in that field for over ten years now, and properly implemented it is a net gain for everyone who does it. The reason companies are falling over themselves trying to hire ‘Devops’ is because they still haven’t properly cottoned on to the concept but are afraid of falling behind. And yes, I can absolutely attest to the fact that Devops is a tough market to hire in at the moment, that there are a lot of places who don’t have the first clue about what Devops really is, and - similarly to Agile - think they can add some buzzwords to their toolchain and call Bob their uncle. And there are a lot of candidates who somehow acquired a Devopsy title in all that chaos, but all their CVs have are tech buzzwords, and when you interview them they’re clueless. That doesn’t change the fact that Devops is a solid concept with high benefits for those who understand it.
AI, and more specifically GenAI and LLMs - is more like crypto, in the sense that people are trying to get rich from it without having the first clue what it is. It’s this shiny new thing that everyone is rushing to get on board with, but I have yet to see someone propose a use case that actually makes sense, couldn’t be implemented better without AI, and is a net gain for those using it. Right now it’s all this nebulous bullshit, everyone just slaps their own coat of paint onto ChatGPT and calls it a day. Useful AI-adjacent concepts like Big Data and Machine Learning have been around for much longer than the tooling underpinning the current hype, and already have a lot of very valid use cases.
By the way, I work with a bunch of high aptitude Devops engineers and none of them are thinking about adding AI to our pipelines, not even to pad their CV.
So not only do they want AI to take your job - you also won’t be able to get another job if you don’t wholesale buy into this shit.
I love the future.
Sometimes good enough is good enough.
It’s ideology over identity with these people. Always and infallibly.
Oh, so she’s an ‘author’ now? I thought she was just a serial shitposter.
First source I could find:

In the early 1800s, a U.S. lexicographer and dictionary creator named Noah Webster decided that the United States of America should use different spellings than British English — ideally to make words shorter, simpler, and more logical.
In the 1806 and 1828 U.S. dictionaries that he published, Webster changed most of the “ou” British spellings of words to “o” — including turning “color” into “colour.” He also changed “flavour” to “flavor,” “rumour” to “rumor,” “honour” to “honor,” and many more. He argued that eliminating unnecessary letters (like that silent “u”) could save money on printing
The claim on England looking down on the colonies wouldn’t check out of you consider that -or in favour of -our is only used in the US, none of the other former colonies (not even Canada).
It has also no erased other languages, many of which use (and pronounce) two i’s.
Not to mention many other languages that use two i’s:
German, French: Aluminium Spanish, Portuguese: Aluminio Italian: Alluminio
Just to name a few.
‘Aluminum’ is just yet another instance where American English decided to be different for the sake of it, without any rhyme or reason.
Waltari - Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C
One of the first collaborations of a metal band with a classical orchestra. That kind of stuff became more commonplace later, but this mix of death metal, classical music and all kinds of other influences remains unique to this day.
Jokes can still be dumb and unfunny.
I know this as ‘eat your frogs’.
