How do you find companies that follow this or a variant over the traditional process. I've been interviewing at companies over the past couple of years and I've only participated at 1 take home task (startup) and know about 1 other company (on my list) that follows that.

I, like others stated above, tend to perform much better in my own space and time than under eyes on a whiteboard..

For the curious this was the content of the email. Pretty generic.

"Dear Let's Encrypt Subscriber,

This is awesome news.

Should we be worried that LE is sponsored by the big players (cisco et al.)

Not implying that we should. Just genuinely wondering if we should be wary or if it means anything at all, for the future of LE I mean.

ps:might be my misunderstanding as im not sure what sponsored actually entails.

Serious question, and sorry(?) for bringing this up. But is everyone here really okay with reacts licencing?

Apart from stubbornly refusing to accept embedding html in js directly is a good idea (although I see the pros), licencing is the main reason I avoid this ecosystem altogether. Even though it has an outstanding community.

perhaps I'm making a deal out of nothing.

In any case will definitely take the course, im sure it will be as excellent as the others. Many thanks for your efforts Tyler.

Am I the only one to be bothered by this comment.

This. 1000x. This is definitely one of the pitfalls of poorly implemented scrum. For bigger companies, scrum tends to be a decision by the higher ups and implemented by the lower ranks keeping middle management is disarray over their role in the change. Moreover as the author mentions agile is about people first, but followed by processes. If scrum teams don't have the power, or empowerment, to change the processes, to become more agile, to remove blockers/impediments, the team burns out / self destructs for the precise reason you mention about spending longer hours achieve the committed (not to mention the committed is affected by the deadlines which are manipulated by management/or worse, external stakeholders) in order to uphold their word/project. To me there is a flaw here.

I do believe scrum can be an effective tool for a few use cases, but people often underestimate the warning signs. "Scrum is easy to learn, but difficult to master." - https://www.scrumalliance.org/community/articles/2011/may/sc...
