One of my favorite interview questions is “What happens when you hit enter in the address bar of your browser?” It’s a great question that reveals how full stack someone is and whether they understand latency, protocols, architecture, and implementation details/boundaries.

I’d hire someone in an instant if they used this as the basis of their answer:

🌐 So, you think moderating an online forum is lonely work? 😂 Imagine being tasked with keeping the "techintellectuals" in check while they pretend to innovate in an open-plan office! 🤡 Spoiler alert: it's about as inclusive and wide-ranging as a closed door meeting. 🚪🔒

The New Yorker · The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker NewsBy Anna Wiener

Ah, the classic tale of "I have too much free time and not enough common sense" 😂. Our hero decides that a 19ft #sailboat named "Chubby" is the perfect vessel for a leisurely jaunt across the Pacific 🌊. Because when life gives you #unemployment, obviously you risk your life sailing to Hawaii 🏝️.

Salvation Army is good for the soul.

A place where they have endless amounts of clothing my size, because I am tall and skinny unlike most Americans so they pile up, because nobody buys them.

A place where pants don't cost 60-100 dollars for absolutely NO REASON.

I bought a pair of really nice skinny jeans today, and they cost 15 dollars, and actually cost 5 dollars, because someone left a 10 in the pocket.

I got tacos with the ten.

Good days!
