The "coding interview" never provided useful signal, not even before AI
It simply filtered for people who were willing to memorize solutions to esoteric puzzles
The right way to hire is to give people real-world problems that your team encountered, then ask them to solve+scale:
The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…
Obviously, don't give people a massive project requiring a week of effort
Give them something that can be initially solved in an hour or two, on their own time, using whatever tools they want
Review their code. Is it good?
Official fix is out: github.com/louislam/uptime-k…
⚠️ If you're using @Uptime_Kuma, it uses the vulnerable node version (even the latest 2.x version does)
Here's a patch while you wait for the author to fix it officially 👇

After running it, do a `docker logs` to confirm it's using the correct node ver

I've had terrible timing with PC building:
2021 👉 massive GPU shortage - no stock at all - due to crypto BS and COVID supply issues
2026 👉 moderate GPU shortage + severely overpriced RAM due to AI
Hoping I can find a good deal on CPU, RAM, or GPU in the next few months here:
You should book more than one discovery flight when getting into flight lessons.
Get a feel for different schools, instructors, and so on
Shipped something in flightschools.fyi to make that easy:
An opt-in checkbox to send discovery flight requests to nearby schools!
Just shipped a better crosswind calculator for flight training:
☁️ Live weather + runway data from every airport in the US
🎨 Runway diagram to show you where the wind is coming from visually
🧮 "How it works" with all the math
Try it here: flightschools.fyi/tools/cros…
Finished my solo flying requirements yesterday in a Cessna 152, woohoo. Onto night flying and check-ride prep.
Bonus: 20+ knot tailwind flying back to my home airport.
I was doing 124 knots over the ground at one point!
Could be a speed record in this lawnmower with wings 💨
As a student pilot, some of the gear I use while flying has already saved my life.
That said, I put together a list of the aviation gear I personally use and recommend:

If you're a pilot, what's your favorite bit of kit for the cockpit? Mine is below 👇
My favorite is my Sentry ADSB-In device. Portable, 12h battery, nice mount included in the box.
It helped prevent a collision with another aircraft. A plane started ascending into my flight path a couple flights ago. I got alerted well before ATC noticed!
4-5 star hotel lobbies are an underrated coworking option
Found this one in Midtown. Would much rather pay a few bucks for a delicious cider and work here vs. a cramped office 👍
Great in NYC, because real coworking spaces ask $39+ just for a day pass and no meeting room access
Changes to the Framework build:
Dec batch. More time for X9 vs. X7 reviews to come in + to take advantage of any Black Friday deals in late Nov.
Added Framework charger.
Downgraded RAM from 64GB to 32GB.
No more SSD. Framework's Gen 5 SSD is a bad value. Better buys on Amazon
