Good to know.. if you defraud the Australian government and misuse tax payers money... the consequences are: partial refund.

My problem is I can’t do 1. If I could do just 1 I feel like I could slowly work my way up to 2, 5, 10, 100, whatever. Starting at 0 trying to get to 1 feels insurmountable.
I have tried all kinds of advice from the Internet. I tried doing pushups against the wall or on my knees. I kept that up for quite awhile, but still never got close to doing 1 real normal push-up correctly. I don’t have the discipline to keep going when it takes that long to get any results.
Can you do a reverse pushup? i.e. start in a plank and lower yourself down?
Doing it like that (especially if you can do it as slowly as possible) can help get you strong enough to do one normal pushup.
Now that AI has ruined the emdash for punctuation enthusiasts like us... I've been thinking of switching to the double emdash (⸺) and worst case, fellow humans, there's always the triple: ⸻
I'm just catching up.. can someone please explain why this part is unreasonable?
- WordPress code is open-source.
- WP Engine is entitled to use the source code.
I don't see how that entitles a for-profit entity such as WP Engine, to use the non-profit wordpress.org theme/plugin repository resources and infrastructure for free?
If you were WP Engine, wouldn't you want to have your own copy that you control anyway? Am I missing something?
Pretty sure parent didn't actually mean plain html files for everything but if they did then perhaps they're using server side includes.
Yeah nah, for me it's exactly that: plain html/js/css files. For simple things, I copy/paste.. not a big deal.
If it's getting more complicated, I'll abort and upgrade to rails to use layouts etc.
The middle ground of static site generators are a trap in my personal opinion.
If I need to add a feature, I've found it's easier for me to implement it directly rather than try mess around configuring a static site generator with plugins etc.
Most people's expectations of what a "basic website" should do have gone way up over time.
Even as a programmer, I've fallen into the static site generator trap a few times.
It's annoying to start a side project with a static site generator and then realise I want to add a small feature and suddenly I wish I'd just started with a simple Rails or PHP app.
Nowadays, if I want a static site I just start with a folder of html files. It's way less complicated and quicker to go from idea -> execution without bike-shedding or procrastination on tools.
I'm pretty happy writing html and css manually though—I don't recommend it for everyone.
The other cool thing is if I then decide to "abort" to rails.. I can copy the folder of html files into the rails public/ folder.. pretty easy upgrade path.
It sounds like you want the candidates to answer a different question than the one you asked. You want them to demonstrate knowledge of the company, but instead you ask them to muster up something enthusiastic to say about working for a company which they can only have superficial knowledge of - not having ever worked there before.
Yep, exactly!
I don't ask this question because I want to know the answer.
The questions I'm trying to answer are:
- Are you intelligent?
- Are you diligent and well prepared?
- Are you self-aware?
- Have you put any thought into what you want and why you're here?
To find out the answers, I can't just ask those directly unfortunately!
I'm not sure if it's helpful, but if you want some perspective from someone that's interviewed a few hundred software engineering candidates..
I ask this question to every candidate I interview. My expectations for this question are very low.
I find it's a very effective screener for low effort applications. A lot of candidates I interview haven't even looked at our company website.
If you're the kind of person that's doing zero preparation for a job interview, I've already learned something about you.
Many people I interview just answer the question very directly:
- "I got laid off"
- "My current company is returning to office and I want to work from home".
- "I've been working at X for 5 years now and I'm bored"
- "I want to make more money"
- "I want to work with an international team"
.. honestly, that's all totally fine.
I agree that there's no need to pretend about your motivations—I'm not expecting a lot of enthusiasm about writing boring business software at my company.
On the other hand, if you've done some basic research about the company or the role and can ask some good questions—I'm learning something about your intelligence, conscientiousness and self-awareness, which are actually the things I'm testing for.
Job interviews are full of latent variables like this. As an interviewer I want to find out if you're good at X, but I can't just ask "are you good at X?". I need to test you out by asking other questions that demonstrate X.
