NodeJs Streams Contract Tests

These tests make assertions about some of the details regarding streams when they are connected to files and used within an async/await context. These details help me produce better error messages.

Synopsis

1. Clone the gist repo.

2. npm install

3. npm test

= Hiring Process

== Candidate Selection

=== Levels

For associate engineers, the candidate must have done something outside of schoolwork. This could be a personal project, a contribution to an open-source project, or an internship or other part-time work.

For software engineers, I expect proficiency in at least one language and one technology. For example, JavaScript and React, Java and Postgres, etc.

= Engineering Philosophy
David Mohs <dmohs@broadinstitute.org>
:toc: macro

== My Core Principles

* Choose technologies where the creators share your engineering philosophy.
* Treat developer usability with the same reverence as product usability.
* Every choice has tradeoffs. If I have a good understanding of the benefits, but not the drawbacks, I'm making a poorly-informed choice.
