Hot Take #2: Migrating to X database / framework / language is NOT the answer.
I have been at 4 companies that migrated to React. Consistently, the migration caused more strife than joy. Also, none of those migrations are complete.

Hot Take. We should present 3-4 problems to an software engineer and let them pick the one for their interview.
Why are we gauging a candidate's ability to wing it?
I would much rather know WHY they chose a specific approach after researching a relatively straightforward problem.

Just found the custom ringtones for PagerDuty. My favorite is "The Server's On Fire." I never thought I would identify with a barbershop quartet, but here we are.

I was never really on twitter (esp not when it was new) — so now I get to see what all the hype's about. What's your top recommendation for using a platform like this?
