One of the companies I interviewed with ended up restoring my faith in technical interviews.
Before the interview, they had me check out a GitHub repo in my language of choice, get familiar with the code base and asked me to show up with the repo loaded to my favorite IDE.

The federal government just dropped a 29-pg memo laying out its "transition to a zero trust approach"
A few surprises:
✴️ there's more in it than just zero-trust
✴️ it goes beyond what most orgs do today
I read the whole thing so you don't have to...

A lot of what folks label imposter syndrome, starts from a combination of:
* Poor self-service onboarding
* Low safety code changes
* Inadequate buddy/mentor support
Which all adds up to making it harder to get even trivial things done.
Being remote amplifies these harms.
Quote Tweet
Engineers, could a principal engineer from say Microsoft, join your team, and without talking to anyone, just by reading docs, fix a trivial bug in your system?
And push it to production?
On their first day?
Not saying this should always be possible. Just baselining onboarding

Hey friends,
I have a panicked student in my DMs who’s accidentally racked up an $8k AWS bill.
My suggestion of “talk to Support” is no good—apparently they won’t issue a billing adjustment. Anybody got better ideas, or know someone at AWS who can help them out?
RT for reach?

Several publications have covered this story now, including below. Meanwhile, I continue to get messages daily from students facing surprise bills that chase them away from cloud. AWS must provide a simpler, more accessible free tier, period.
