New comment by bonzoq in "Ask HN: Best Git workflow for small teams"

bonzoq — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 08:45:30 +0000

Just make sure to rebase every time you start work to avoid merge conflicts, but yes, this is the single most effective git workflow for small and probably larger teams too! I'm in a small team where the lead dev comes from a top SV company and he introduced this workflow and it works great.

The official API doesn't support logging in sadly yet. When it does I'll add that functionality immediately.

It would be cool to know why the downvotes.

I don't agree that testing algoritmic skills shows 'a lack of competence in the interviewing process'. Quite the opposite, but I respect your right to have this opinion so let's leave this aside.

On the other hand though, publicly calling a company 'stupid' because one does not like the way they recruit employees is more than a punch below the belt. If I don't like someone's recruitment process I don't apply for a job with them, but don't go to Hacker News and call them 'stupid'.

I work with TopTal and this is no throwaway account. I see very little reason to publicly slam a company one failed to get into and no reason to call it 'stupid'. Most companies do whiteboard questions during interviews, and Codility challenges are equivalent to that.

You could try realm.io to persist data and implement synchronization manually.

I'm European and once put my feet on the table when talking to a collegue on the phone. I did it because I was curious of people's reaction. Another colleague saw it and she was stunned to say that least. I quickly apologized, but that's a heck of a cultural difference spanning across the pond.

Guess who spied on their European allies

Ask HN: Do you use business cards?

bonzoq — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 22:02:13 +0000

When you pitch, offer your product/services, or network at meetups, do you handle in business cards these days? Or do you just send an e-mail to the person you're talking to straight from your phone? I am a dev sitting in front of my computer most of the time, hence this question.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

#1 Do you mean the status bar? I could easily remove it, but don't you like to know what time it is? Removing the status bar could be an option in settings in the next release. #2 I will give this suggestion a thought. Now you can go back to the previous view by swiping right. So theoretically the back arrow could be hidden too.

That's a good point. I might include setting headlines' font size in the next update. Thanks!
