Hi from casa Pancakes, where I stayed at home on Zoom all day and -every single one of my mentee sessions no-showed and no-messaged-.

Sometimes I feel like not only is my kindness taken for granted, but I'm also seen as not even a human with a life.

‼️📰 Holy smokes, my story in the Post-Dispatch last week made a difference!

St. Louis city police just posted the last three years of incident-level crime data -- and they pledge to post updates monthly.

Love how they "discovered" they were already producing similar CSVs for the Center for Policing Equity.

I really didn't manage to play many video games last year, but the ones I played were awesome:

Day of the Tentacle Remastered
Lucy Dreaming
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
The Blackwell Legacy

It's the countdown to full price! If you're excited to give me money for the Frog Fractions Cinematic Universe but want to wait until it's even more expensive so that you can give me even more money, the Steam Winter Sale has less than 24 hours left!

Sunshine is $5 on iTunes and Prime Video to buy (and is part of Movies Anywhere, so it'll show up on your linked accounts). If you want to end the year with a great title, get this and watch it. @SwiftOnSecurity

@vkc Related to the mrchromebox thing you shared, how about reflashing a custom open source BIOS on an old laptop with Libreboot? https://libreboot.org/

DISCMASTER returns in 2024.

I have interviewed 100s of candidates for software engineering positions.

I’ve done take-home tests, in person challenges, pair programming with the candidates.

All of them were awful experiences for me and especially for the candidate.

I can only think of a single instance where a code challenge exposed a poor software engineer and I could definitely have made the same assessment just by talking to them.

Lately I’ve stopped doing any software or mental puzzles.

I don’t do any of that when I interview designers or QA people or HR people, so why would I be particularly toxic towards software engineers during the hiring process?

Instead, I actually read their resumes (which is significantly quicker than doing interviews, asking them to repeat the same information), and then I ask them questions like:

• Where do you get your tech news?
• How do you learn about new technologies?
• What do you most appreciate in your coworkers today?
• What is a perfect workday like for you?

I specifically avoid trap-style questions like “what is your greatest weakness?” or “why are you leaving your current job?”

I recommend that you make a plan for what you want to learn about the candidate, e.g. “are they good at acquiring new skills?” or “do they share the same values as the team?” and then structure the interview around that.

Be a non-toxic manager. Make your company look good during the interview process. Get better candidates.
