CNN: ”Police in St. Petersburg arrested at least 350 anti-war protesters on Wednesday, taking the total number of protesters detained or arrested to 7,624 since the invasion began, according to an independent organization that tracks human rights violations in Russia.”
Al Corbett: ”Now, the idea is to throw low-level optimization questions at you that you will never need to deal with in your professional life — it’s not like we’re writing operating systems anymore…”
The interview process can be quite hellish. We have a live coding session with candidates at WillowTree, but to be fair I would call them different than the “Hey, write this complicated algorithm thing for me” interviews.
We work in teams. On those teams we need to make sure we can actually work with our co-workers. The coding exercise tests the grasp of your chose platform as well as how you interact with others.
If that type of exercise doesn’t work for you, you can choose to walk folks through some code you’ve written and explain it, as well as answer questions about it. Think of it as an interactive pull request.
Vanity Fair: ”Then, the day before Ratliff was supposed to shoot his scenes, Hanks fired him. The stated reason: Hanks felt Ratliff had ‘dead eyes.’”

Hollywood Life: ”Barry makes a brief appearance in The Batman, and his scene teases his hopeful return as Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime.”
Our youngest daughter and I caught The Batman yesterday afternoon (it was empty.) We both enjoyed it.
That scene with Joker, however brief, was a great scene. Only the smallest glimpse and I knew who it was.
I liked Pattinson as Batman, well done. He’s definitely a brooding version of Batman, but I like it. Gordon, played by Jeffrey Wright, was also a nice imagining of his character.
Fingers crossed they make another one.
