jkresneron I will not do a tech interview

I agree feverishly with you post.

I've been a dev for 10 years and worked in Sydney, London, New York & San Francisco. What I noticed is that San Francisco has a very different "technical" interview approach that is very CS focused. I studied a CS degree (7 years ago) and think it's stupid that I have to dig into knowledge that I have not needed professionally over my whole career.

I've built successful startups, coded mamoth apps used by millions of people, but failed interviews at companies like Yammer.

I wrote a post about how I conduct technical interviews for my company airpair.

Pair Programming is KEY.

Also, side plug we've been getting lots of business both around preparing for interviews and helping to interview candidates when you don't have in-house knowledge to vet skills you don't have.

Here are some examples:

jkresneron How can I tell if I am failing at my entrepreneurial venture or start-up?

From two of my own baby ventures. Defining success is only a tool to keep you temporarily focused because the more you grow the bigger your idea of success becomes and evolves. As Entrepreneurs we are driven people who always strive to get bigger and better as we improve.

It is those people that only see 12 months or 2 years through an idea that often fail. The realization that comes with experience is that if you want anything to be HUGE is takes more than 2 years. I'm really only coming to grips with that after 5-6 years on naively planning and following dreams.
