the way he rages at people on the mailing list?

not really anymore for quite a while.

he will absolutely tell someone that should know better, if they are doing a bad job, but the times of random shitstorms is over for quite a while now

Man, I hope not

The hash question is just something from the top of my head. I normally fit it to the situation.

I absolutely take nervousness into account, as I can relate to it.

The thing is, I need to know if the person can push back in some way. it’s a hard thing to do in interviews, but also the first point for me to check how a person reacts

I’ve been bitten too many times, with dev coworkers who don’t give at least a little resistance when vague or stupid tasks show up. Only to notice hours or days later, when something was done completely the wrong way

When I interview (experienced) devs, I often ask way too generic questions. Something along the lines of “can you explain what a hash is?”, without stating what kind of hash and in what context

The primary goal isn’t really to explain it in detail, but to see if they get confused and ask for clarification. Way too many people just start assuming something, when a task is not defined properly. I need coworkers that push back on bullshit, and not blindly implement whatever runs along their desk, no matter how little sense it makes

If I don’t hear at least one “it depends” during an interview, I don’t have high hopes

We just need to push the right people

Ah, running a background agent, I see

I’m my case, steam has servers in my city. It’s quite satisfying seeing a gigabit line saturated for gigabytes on end

that’s what I read with glasses, and I thought it was about garage crab farming

meanwhile, me getting annoyed that a network mount whose endpoint is not available anymore just completely refuses to unmount, no matter what I do

mpd server. Although mainly, so I can use the beautifully named ncmpdcpp client

That’s a pentester
