kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Before accepting a job or interview, what are red flags to look out for?
I agree, in a way it kind of is a bad precedent.

That second advice is gold. I've been doing it since day one and it definitely helped to paint a picture the type of culture a company has. Luckily, most of the people that have been interviewing me seem like genuinely nice folks.

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Before accepting a job or interview, what are red flags to look out for?
I've just realized this yesterday. I've noticed that I've started to burn out when I had to travel 8 hours to the company and back to my city in one day, which does not include the four-hour interview.

It's taxing to the body and mind, especially to the pocket :/

kevindeasis··on Ask HN: Before accepting a job or interview, what are red flags to look out for?
What if it's almost hard to find information about the company? Like if they are a new startup, that is profitable and their team doesn't have any info online?

I've had companies interview me with an employee count of greater than 600, but no glassdoor review :/

The UI/UX looks slick! What tech stack are you using in the main app for your front-end/backend? Who's your hosting provider?

>Green card will not take 8 years unless you were born in India, China, or the Philippines

What if you have a Canadian citizenship? Is it still 8 years?

>There's a 60 day wait period after you last enter on TN, and you cannot leave the country when the AOS

So, when I first get my TN visa, I cannot leave the country without any of those papers? How long does my first TN visa last and if that expires I have to wait for 60 days before I get a new one?

That answers all the questions I can think about at the moment. Thank you very much for the help, it was informative and very helpful!
kevindeasis··on Ask HN: What is your go-to example for a good REST API?
I'd like to ask a complementary question!

What resources (books/blogs) are you guys/gals looking at that talks about best practices for creating/implementing great REST API endpoints?

kevindeasis··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Very helpful!

Most of the companies would ask something along the lines of are you allowed to work in America. For this question, am I allowed to say, "yes I am". Given, I do not have a TN visa yet?

kevindeasis··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for doing this! I have two questions about Canadian citizens looking for jobs in America. Possibly, looking to immigrate to Americain the future. Also, If possible getting double/triple citizenship.

Let's pretend you are a Canadian citizen, recently graduated from computing science, that is currently living in Alberta, Canada. What is the best way to get a job in America? Should I apply for a visa as well or should they offer a visa sponsorship?

Then, let's say I get hired. What's the best way to get an American citizenship with the goal of maintaining my Canadian citizenship? I was originally born in the Philippines; would it be wise to get three citizenships (America/Canada/Philippines)?

kevindeasis··on Proposed New Go GC: Transaction-Oriented Collector
Somewhat off topic, but since there are growing opportunities for golang developers, I'm gonna ask a golang development question.

Is anyone using golang with a different language like C, rust, etc? Are you using it through linkage or through microservices?

What libraries are you using with golang that's written in a different language. What does your company /app / system / software do?

Do you recommend using libraries in a different language or using related golang libraries?

Isn't this bad precedent? If they move to SF area would talented programmers still want to work for them?

It seems like they are a company you can't trust (from what I read in the comment section in that link)

Out of curiosity, how does the process of job hunting work in the Ontario area if they get a job in SV? Does the SV company offer a visa permit or does the student apply for work permit in advance?

It seems like if you also add googly eyes to any robot like the one in BD's video they begin to appear more friendly.

Who do you guys trust for your wildcards needs? Assuming you were to build a super cheap side project on the weekends and you needed subject alternative names for your first-level subdomains.

PostGIS would be amazing. Followed by JsonB. Then migrating from JsonB to relational. Hot standby might be interesting too.

kevindeasis··on Muhammad Ali has died
He was a really smart dude. The way he marketed himself was I think the first of his kind.

Plus he won some of his fights even before stepping in through the ring by getting into his opponents head. Just imagine Ali going to your yard a few days before the match in the middle of the night with a loud speaker
