I have to shoot a video for the #RheinMainRocks startnext campaign … I hate
video.

… finishing up.

@r_oquentin geniale Idee. SPORA 2.0 kann dann
auch dazu genutzt werden Mobs zu organisieren. Wo und wann man sie braucht.

@benjamin They are good examples of tasks a
candidate should try to solve (on his own time) …

@benjamin … but I'd try to come up with
something closer to the product's problem domain.

@benjamin It's more about pairing a candidate
with one of your team members while solving a problem. You'll learn a lot more
then …

@benjamin it highly depends on the number of
candidates you have the luxury to screen.

@benjamin If I have tons of candidates, I'd use
simple generic programming tasks as a first filter.

@P3OGermany @madiko Danke, aber die Preise und der

@benjamin well, you have to understand a lot

@benjamin what do you think to be BS?

@benjamin only negative extremes highlighted
there. FEs are the ones that are interested in the business as a whole not just
their work.

@benjamin It resonated with me, but maybe I
should write my version of The Full Stack Employee. And better call it The
Intrapreneur.

@ntboes do it like I do: I have my primary

@redpandacan ... my company.

@martinemmert are you sure that there is no

@redpandacan I could enforce a more strict
"culture" at the office as @ntboes calls it, but
being away enables that without force.

@marcos_placona Yes, but depending on the
provide this can be only a few weeks.

Putting every business unit behind and API greatly improves time to market for
new features, but is a painful endeavor. #apisberlin

@marcos_placona the biggest problem are
the pre-paid providers. They operate with a limited pool and want to assign
unused numbers fast.

@marcos_placona Yeah, but you're a service
provider, so there I don't see that as a another problem. No humans are attached
to that numbers.

I told everyone that they should go to @socrates_2015. What a waste. It sold out
in a few minutes.

@benjamin it sold out because it's a great
conference and you didn't try to double in size or rip us off for profit.

@benjamin the flash sale is IMO due to people
who are already VERY familiar with the conf / the website / the twitter.
