For those on k8s: quick reminder, unless you're in development mode your image pull policy should be IfNotPresent so you have at least some measure of caching to protect you from further degradation of service.

Beyond this, I'm updating things to use GCR so that if this bleeds into tomorrow my team's development timeline isn't impacted any further.

Are you considering remote candidates in all of North America, or do they need to be based out of Canada?

(I'm based in the US thus the question)



Decent hearing aides are quite expensive, complex devices with a substantial amount of R&D and non-trivial silicon.

For those who are interested, The Amp Hour has a great episode with Jørgen Jakobsen who talks about his experience in the industry and its quirks.

How are hearing aids priced in other countries compared to the US?


I live in the former USSR, in a very poor country. Hearing aids here are primitive, no fancy schmancy DSP bad really cheap. $10-20 or smth.

I've conducted many interviews hiring for a growing tech company pulling from a large pool of new hires (4 major universities) as well as a metro with software pedigree.

With younger developers (or fresh grads) its about their propensity to learn rather than anything they've learned to do before, chances of a fresh grad having previously worked on something that would move the needle in 3 months are slim.

Reviewing their profile: prior internships and/or limited work experience offer are openers for how they might operate in a workplace, how they crack open problems and how well they handle the 'I don't know how to do this scenarios' (of which there will be many).

I refuse to whiteboard, so for the technical aspect, probe the keywords mentioned in order to ascertain what they were really accountable for and what is simply fluff, paying close attention to how they articulate their work and its impact at the company.

The rewards of a well-mentored junior developer are tremendous, though very time consuming at the onset, so make sure whomever you pick is a good fit that you'll be happy to work with.


> I refuse to whiteboard

Why is that? How you communicate is really very important. If the discussion warrants it, I offer the whiteboard to people if it helps them explain something or if I'm having trouble following. Is there a downside to this, or do you mean it as short-hand for some other interview practice?


I think they are probably referring to "whiteboarding" in the sense of asking somebody to implement a heap sort algorithm on a whiteboard using psuedocode or something along those lines.
