Get a consensus from Engineers if they need another person (any role - Engineer, PM, Architect, Mgr) added to the team. Do not open the position until all Engineers vote a Yes.

I had identified the problem of google information dominance and inefficiency long time back and release a prototype micronest.com/searchly

The solution would be very complex but i had the problem identified..Now working to release an enterprise version inspired by this.

I made an app for 2 older folks (~75) who connected with me over the web. The high level idea and functional spec was provided by them. One of the main reason i helped them was because it was interesting to see someone at their age trying to change the world (a bit) positively through the use of software..

share the app!!

But is that something she will like ?

Yes, as she already does lots of statistical process control, design of experiments, etc.

This is not a sunni shia battle as portrayed by western media.

Per Tim beal (Asia expert), the two Koreas making peace is not something that is in line with western divide and rule policy but washington would not admit the uneasiness about this..interesting perspective.

If one was going to be hired to work on cloud API or some enterprise tool, not sure how this low question would qualify someone as a better software engineer.

15-20 yrs back general app s/w hiring was not about solving algos and puzzles but more about object oriented software and threading etc.

15-20 years ago the market wasn't flooded with viable candidates and people claiming to be viable candidates

Most of these issues are due to bad mgr/team lead.

Thanks for sharing. I wish that instead of building destructive weapons, there was more focus was on building cures for the many diseases and fighting hunger and poverty..
