noisepunk··on Why big tech companies need so many people

noisepunk··on Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
Not really a program, but I put a script on aws that texts me in the morning if it’s a street sweeping day. Sometimes I forget to move my car anyway…
noisepunk··on The new hire who showed up is not the same person we interviewed
Whoa. I am new to interviewing and hiring developers. We needed to hire quickly and i interviewed someone, they did great and they were hired. And when they showed up for there first day in our remote zoom call I was very confused and thought I had interviewed a different person. I was the only person who interviewed them directly as they are a contractor. I brushed it off and thought maybe I was mistaken but reading this has made me rethink this initial feeling as I never mentioned it to anyone.

The restrictive development rules you are referring to are height restrictions on buildings.
