Hiring process without the dreaded hazing at a white-board.

By Jeffrey M. Barber

Unlike many engineers, I love the white-board process since it is a dog and pony show for demonstrating exceptional fundamentals of computer science… And, I’m a beautiful and majestic unicorn, but the process only applies to less than five percent of people in a company. Big tech needs that process so that they have a stable population of people that can fight for promotions which creates the honey for the business. Since I’m neither big tech and don’t desire to place the chains of employment on people, I want a more ideal process.

I built one similar last year, and then I kicked myself because I didn’t make it work well with large objects. The killer feature and prime difficulty is dealing with an array of objects (and the implicit recursion of complexity).

Facebook's Folly

By Jeffrey M. Barber

Facebook was an interesting place to work. Granted, my perspective may be corrupted, but I do believe it was a good and moral place to work. However, the goodness was rooted in naïve faith in technology. That changed in 2016. The noble mission of “connecting the world” had a blind-spot.

By Jeffrey M. Barber

Let’s combine all righteous anger going on at reddit and all the ai hype with chatgpt by building a reddit clone with AI. Then let’s have that clone be powered by Adama.

A Commitment To Freedom

By Jeffrey M. Barber

I want to be free. I want to just live. Freedom is talked about very loosely, but I think very few people have tasted liberty. It’s worth dying for.
