We are a network of former & current colleagues who have enjoyed working together in the software industry, and who support one another in our ongoing careers. Some of us work for stealth startups, some for Fortune 10 companies, and most somewhere in-between. We share advice, review resumes, discuss interesting new technologies & processes, post job opportunities, and geek out about space & music.

For the first decade of my career, I crash learned frameworks and tools, bullshitted my way through the interviews, became an expert on the job… Then used that expertise as a platform to bullshit my way into the next level. Rise and repeat, and here I am.
True, I learn very, very fast. And I'm obsessively curious. But I also game the interview system…
In the screening call, I ask about the tech stack, specific pain points the team may have, anything I can use in the next interview to better position myself.

Tell me about a particularly difficult problem you solved recently – technical or not. Give me the gory details.
^ I ask a lot of probing questions based on the answer.
What accomplishment in your career or life are you most proud of? Tell me about a professional mistake you made recently, one with consequences, and how you resolved it.
^ I’m most interested in the topics chosen for both of these. I am way more impressed with answers that involve social consequences. It indicates a lack of empathy to me when the answer is 100% technical.
