A while ago I did some rage tweeting about job ads. Here is a list of helpful things people sent me to read then and since:

On good hiring generally

• (diverse hiring generally) https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/25-tips-for-diverse-hiring
• (hiring and retaining women) http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/HOWTO_recruit_and_retain_women_in_tech_workplaces
• (Buzzfeed's approach to building a diverse team) http://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/what-were-doing-to-keep-building-a-diverse-editorial-operati#3jjmnvr

On programming tests

General key themes:

• Hiring is really hard. You’re not just hiring a “Rails Engineer” or a “Python Programmer” you’re hiring someone who can help you change the world. Tell them why! Talk about the hard problems you’re solving. 2/3 of these talks give ideas and insight into hiring from sourcing to actual interview processes.

• Rewriting systems is hard. People think they are going to replace their broken down horse and buggie with a bullet train and this often ends up in disaster. Successful rewrites require an incremental approach that takes months/years and often runs way over schedule. 2/3 of these talks go over how to handle rewrites not only from a high level technical perspective but a cultural/management perspective as well.

Practical / Tactical

Be on time to meetings or alert an hour ahead of time if you'll be late

Meetings need a goal and a runner to get that goal accomplished

Defend your time from distractions and use it effectively on moving product forward

Prefer Slack over email over in person interruptions over a set block of time

Things I like to do while visiting Copenhagen

• Copenhagen Street Food: big indoor street food place in Paper Island. Tons of options, but the duck fat fries from Copper and Wheat are amazing.

• Musiksmag: decent little cafe / bar / record shop in Nørrebro.

• Ruby: great cocktail bar.

• Kalaset: fun place for brunch. Close to:
