Death by Database 8 years ago

I worked on a codebase with a similar address problem. Oh, and there were no primary keys. Instead, each row referred back to a separate table with four keyed initials.

Good database design upfront, and vigilant upkeep will keep the application layer tidier.

It seems like there are two things at play - whiteboarding interviews vs. using whiteboards in your day-to-day job.

If the test is to see how well a person works in a whiteboarding interview to solve a problem, then it should be a simulation of collaboration, while trying to avoid the Clever Hans effect.

Otherwise your DP whiteboarding problems are worthless.

The comment section of the announcement has plenty of Pocket-switchers. I think Instapaper is much more focused than Pocket, which seems to be more geared towards recommendations now.
