    The difference between leaders who push their teams to the ground and those who take teams to great heights isn’t knowledge, capability, or competence, but their motivation and desire to succeed. What sets them apart is confident humility. Confident humility is the confidence in a leader’s ability to make the right decision while acknowledging that they need others to do it right. Ignorant leaders are disconnected from the true problems that impact their team's productivity and performance. They never build the time to understand their employees as humans and employees as first humans.

    Why functional programming matters

    Why functional programming matters

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-functional-programming-matters-c647f56a7691.
    I’ve been working as a software engineer for sixteen years, and in those years I’ve been to countless of job interviews, but I’m still dumbfounded by how this is mostly done by companies. The majority of interviews for engineering positions focus on algorithms and data structures. Candidates must answer questions like how to find the longest subarray of an array with a given sum, what is the complexity of their solution, how can it be improved etc., usually at a whiteboard. Whiteboarding sessions are meant to reveal computer science proficiency, understanding of subjects like the Big O notation, but also generic problem solving skills. They are also meant to give interviewers a feel of how it is to collaborate and work together with the candidate.

    Pulse surveys provide an anonymized, aggregated perspective from the wider organization. The results are aggregated and compared across managers, across teams, across organizations, and to historical data. Pulse surveys give leadership the ability to view trends, compare between teams, and identify wider systemic problems. Pulse is too frequent enough to happen frequently enough to be the main forum for employee feedback, but it's not a good place to work. There are alternative ways to incorporate this valuable tool into a management strategy.

People hire people who are enjoyable to work with. Don't trash talk your past coworkers. No one going to hire you out of pity.

    Job hunters are not getting an accurate picture of the job market. Companies place phantom jobs to build a pipeline of candidates for the future. Fake jobs are used to show that the company is doing well and growing while everyone else is floundering. Many jobs are posted on the company website and end up on job aggregation sites. To the job seeker, the roles look new, but they are months old, and most have been filled already. The company can gain a sense of the marketplace by posting phantom jobs.
