Exploding offers are bullshit

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I do a lot of recruiting and have given maybe 50 offers in my career. Although many companies do, I never put a deadline on any of them. Unfortunately, I've often ended up competing with other companies who do, and I feel really bad that this usually tricks younger developers...

Headcount goals, feature factories, and when to hire those mythical 10x people

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
When I started building up a tech team for Better, I made a very conscious decision to pay at the high end to get people. I thought this made more sense: they cost a bit more money to hire, but output usually more than compensates for it.

The power of ensembles

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

From my presentation at MLConf, one of the points I think is worth stressing again is how extremely well combining different algorithms works. In this case, we're training machine learning algorithms on different data sets (playlists, play counts, sessions) and different...

I’ve made a lot of progress on my VORON. Electronics and other stuff are installed to the degree that I’ve begun wiring, but I’m going to separate the wiring into it’s own post. This will be a short post about bed preparation and installing electronics components. Feedback from...

Over the last couple of years, Debian Linux has released new stable versions about every two years. This pace is great for progress, but there is a serious problem. This problem is related to their support for older Debian stable versions. If you read the quote below from the...

Many years ago, I used to think that A/B tests were foolproof and all you need to do is compare the metrics for the two groups. The group with the highest conversion rate wins, right?

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
