How To Interview Engineers

Interviewing is hard. It's not easy to find good people, and once you do, it's often difficult to find out what they can do and how they work. A badly-run interview can pass over a great engineer. Conversely, some engineers are good at passing traditional tech interviews, but bring major problems with work habits or team fit.

The first priority of any manager is to hire the best people. Everything else must wait.

SSH keypair setup for GitHub (or GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket, etc, etc)

Create a repo.

Make sure there is at least one file in it (even just the README.md)

Generate a SSH key pair (private/public):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"

Installing i3-gaps

Dependencies

i3-gaps has some packages that are required for it to work so install these things:

sudo apt install libxcb1-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libpango1.0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libyajl-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libev-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev autoconf xutils-dev libtool automake

You also need to install libxcb-xrm-dev, but I got Unable to locate package libxcb-xrm-dev when trying to install from the apt repositories on Ubuntu 16.04. If this happens to you, just install it from source using these commands:

mkdir tmp

# install gpg
brew install gnupg

# copy my-gpg-key.asc from other workstation or lastpass or somewhere
# and then import it
gpg --import ~/Downloads/my-gpg-key.asc

# make sure it's there and get the key id (the part that comes after "rsa4096/")
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
