I have been writing articles on this website for twelve years. If you were to look at the early versions , you would think it is a fresh-out-of-school project with icons drawn in Microsoft Paint.

Reversing the technical interview (2017)
If you want to get a job as a software witch, you’re going to have to pass a whiteboard interview. We all do them, as engineers–often as a part of our morning ritual, along with arranging a beautiful grid of xterms across the astral plane, and compulsively running ls in every nearby directory–just in case things have…
