mycodebreaks··on '; CREATE TABLE `Capture the Flag`;' -- Stripe's Web Security CTF is Live
I finished first three levels. I will continue with the rest tomorrow.

I think if they didn't provide code, it would have been really difficult. Is everyone feeling same way?

mycodebreaks··on The Dog Days are Over
Product Managers don't have to put long hours at work when the schedule they came up with is unreasonable. Engineers have to make adjustments, put long hours to make things work.

Product Managers should be doing better than just shouting in morning status meetings.

mycodebreaks··on The Dog Days are Over
Product Managers can be obnoxious at times.

Great advice for everyone, even for those who do not have their own start-ups.

Be resourceful in every situation possible and do not cross line.

"but clearly the economy is demanding more engineers at this level than the market will supply"

Exactly, that was my original point.

I am genuinely serious. You can trust your judgement that your sarcasm meter is faulty. :-)
mycodebreaks··on How 30 days without social media changed my life
I understand the urge to keep away from facebook or twitter. However, Hacker News is very important resource for career and personal development IMHO.

Since I came to know about Hacker News, my life has changed. Not only I stay away from social media such as facebook, twitter, but also I am away from news websites such as cnn and bbc.And, let me say, it is very good for mind and body to not consume so much news.

There is no disconnect. I am just saying that how much harder it is to hire when your company is not Google, Facebook, Dropbox etc..

mycodebreaks··on 2013 H1B Visa Supply Nearly Exhausted
FYI, we could not hire anyone. Finally, we lost those open reqs because management decided so. Most smart engineer we interviewed, ended up having multiple offers from more cool companies.

it would have been 85k-95k for an entry level. In short, it was up to the standards in bay area for skills and experience.

mycodebreaks··on 2013 H1B Visa Supply Nearly Exhausted
In my team(at a company in SF bay area), We have tried to hire an entry level engineer and also a senior level engineer who can tackle software development. We've not been able to fill any position with qualified candidates.

Only reason is that the supply of jobs is abundant. Though there could be a huge number of american engineers, it simply doesn't match the demand at present. There is nothing terribly wrong in education system in the USA. The way you can solve this problem is by telling every freshman to major in Computer Science (However, many tech jobs don't require CS degree), which is not possible.

I see Python leading in this poll. Two things that can be happening: 1. Python is going mainstream. 2. Programmers who are hackernews readers like Python more.
