This has been true in my experience. Interviewed at FB recently, they gave me a take-home project that we would go over together in the on-site interview. I spent a lot of effort on the project instead of typical white-board coding. I did great on the project but did so-so on the white-boarding. No offer.

It's only all-hands and agenda-less if you use it that way. My team spins up small, feature-specific rooms where only relevant people are present.

Target retirement date funds, a handful of individual stocks for entertainment purposes. I also have dabbled with Lending Club (annualized ROI went from 15% to less than 5% recently) and the money saved on interest in paying back my student loans early.

I'm amazed that's a hospital, I would have guessed it was a parking garage if you showed me that picture with no context.

Serious question, what's wrong with deploying 100 times per day? I'll take that over one monstrous semi-weekly deploy.

My team uses Trello for project management and I couldn't be happier with it. It's very simple by default but you can make complex cards/items if necessary.

As such, it’s critical that you write your SDK in Objective-C so that the people that don’t ship Swift can actually use your SDK.

I'm not an iOS developer but aren't Swift and Objective C files interchangeable?
