Using FizzBuzz to Find Developers who Grok Coding | Imran On Tech
After a fair bit of trial and error I’ve come to discover that people who struggle to code don’t just struggle on big problems, or even smallish problems (i.e. write a implementation of a linked list). They struggle with tiny problems. Source: Using FizzBuzz to Find Developers who Grok Coding | Imran On Tech
Engineering Management
From late 2006 to early 2009, I was privileged to hold a variety of management positions in Facebook Engineering, ranging from manager of various teams to director of engineering.

metasmile/strsync
The basic concept of this tool is simple file name based one-way synchronizer. While the actual translation work, My biggest desire was to just fill an empty strings quickly.

Taylor Swift 是怎麼被製造出來的？ | 端傳媒 Initium Media
這一藝術，「主要由一小群製作人（主要是瑞典人）所壟斷，並將其發揮到極致。」其中一個例證就是，這些熱門金曲「每隔七秒──據說是人們在換頻道前留給一首歌的平均時間，就會出現精心設計好的片段，它們能擁有讓大腦愉悅的韻律、節奏，並有吸引人重複吟唱的能力。」 Source: Taylor Swift 是怎麼被製造出來的？ | 端傳媒 Initium Media

Turning the database inside-out with Apache Samza
Databases are global, shared, mutable state. That’s the way it has been since the 1960s, and no amount of NoSQL has changed that. However, most self-respecting developers have got rid of mutable global variables in their code long ago. So why do we tolerate databases as they are?A more promising model, used in some systems, […]
