bparanj | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Before accepting a job or interview, what are red flags to look out for?
If you have to pull their head out of their ass during the interview process, you will have to do it everyday several times. It is better not to work there. If they give you an offer, give an outrageous salary range as your compensation to work in that kind of environment.
bparanj | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Before accepting a job or interview, what are red flags to look out for?
Too many changes in who will interview. This shows that they are not organized.
They expect you to use your magic wand to make their problems go away.
bparanj | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your go-to example for a good REST API?
-1 for Stripe. The API is designed without any thought how the use cases need to use it. Leaks the JSON structure of the document to the client. This breaks your code when they change the JSON structure.

bparanj | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: What should I learn next?
The demand for every programming language / framework follows the bell curve. You are correct that Android demand will drop off at certain point. It's difficult to predict what will be the next big hit. The best thing to do is keep an open mind and try out different things that has the potential to become very popular. It's like managing your stock portfolio. You have to spend time in some risky technologies which has big rewards, if it takes off.

Screencasts take a long time to produce. I got burned out at 73rd episode for rubyplus.org (within 6 months). I was publishing at a much faster rate. Now I have only articles at http://www.rubyplus.com
