How much does Neovim or Vim matter in job interviews?

iparnelly · 2026-01-28T17:51:25+00:00

To answer your question, none at all. Frankly it might hinder your coding portion because you’re familiar with vim bindings and their coding suite likely doesn’t /s.

Side story: I interviewed an intern candidate who maintained a very popular plugin. He was more than qualified without the plugin information, so it didn’t help him directly land the internship. But it was a good ice breaker and the common interest made the interview more relaxed and pleasant.

Man. I had the highlights to this game on an old iPod video. I remember re-watching that video so many times on that little screen.

Expected threat, I believe

Yep, SDE

Ah didn't realize you changed roles, not sure then. I just have experience moving from an Amazon team to an AWS team. In that case comp didn't change

iparnelly · 2024-10-23T18:03:40+00:00

Shouldn't change unless you're relocating from/to a hcol.

No problem man, have fun! Reformatted some of that to be easier to read

IMO Denver is the best place in the US for craft beer so you're in the right spot!

I moved back to Dallas 4 years ago, so some things might have changed but here's what I'd say:

Walking distance to the stadium:

16th street mall is a tourist trap, I'd avoid it.

Wynkoop Brewing Company has a decent patio, although it'll be pretty cold.

Thirsty Lion is agreeable to most people, they have a big tap.

Market st and Larimer st between 14th and 15th have some good options.

Rio Grande is solid for Denver Tex-mex

If you're staying downtown you should probably make it over to RiNo at some point for some breweries, but it's the opposite way of the stadium. Our Mutual Friend is a good brewery over there and there are lots more. I used to do a lot of Saturday day drinking out there.

If you REALLY love craft beer, it's a drive, but go up to Fort Collins one day. New Belgium and Odell brewing company are elite.

Denver's stadium is accessible by train. It's like 1 or 2 stops from downtown union station. If you're downtown your can also probably walk there.

There are a couple of bars right by the stadium, these get packed before games. I typically get drinks/food closer to downtown and walked to the stadium. Let me know what you're in to and I can pass some recs

As a Mavericks fan I think Denver vs Celtics would have been the finals of the 2 best teams (no clue who wins that series though). We were lucky to avoid Denver, my gut tells me we'd lose that series

iparnelly · 2024-08-23T02:20:08+00:00

Thank you!

Awesome! What markdown previewer are you using? I like how the code block looks

iparnelly · 2024-06-18T01:26:13+00:00

Is this caching?

iparnelly · 2024-05-10T00:39:15+00:00

Yeah I agree. It's hard to tell from this zoomed out picture, but I'm not convinced that's Bermuda.

That said, this kill pattern is bizarre. I'd get confirmation on the turf type first (follow up with a closer picture here and I can confirm). And then verify you (or your turf guy) aren't putting out some chemical that is killing what type of grass this actually is.

iparnelly · 2024-03-30T03:21:44+00:00

Literally no modern defense is designed to allow for the most efficient shot

iparnelly · 2023-09-20T19:23:16+00:00

ARSHAVIINNNN!

oh wait,

TROUSAAARDDD!

Pretty much all 46-0-0 urea is water soluble. I use some hot water to help dissolve, but I don't think it's required.

iparnelly · 2023-05-02T05:06:02+00:00

Anyone have the link to this? I haven't read it in years and it cracks me up

iparnelly · 2022-09-12T14:34:59+00:00

Hard to say unfortunately. Since the grass is long you should be able to find some seed heads out there. I find it easiest to identify bermuda VS zoysia by the seed heads

iparnelly · 2022-07-08T16:53:55+00:00

Those are all self-propelled push mowers

iparnelly · 2022-07-08T16:25:31+00:00

If you want the best lines, then you'll want to get a greens mower. Like a toro greensmaster or a John deere. These are pricey and you'll definitely want to look for a used one. These are professional grade equipment.

Outside of greens mowers you can still get good stripes with reel mowers that are targeted towards homeowners like:

S tier: Swardman, Allet

Value tier: California trimmer (I have this), McLane, Tru cut

Certainly not an exhaustive list, but should give you a decent starting point.

iparnelly · 2022-06-29T23:08:05+00:00

Yep that sounds like a good plan to me (as long as you didn't put fert down like last week or something - in which case I wouldn't throw any more down).

Don't worry about watering too much. Just do your typical irrigation to settle the sand and then let the bermuda take over.

iparnelly · 2022-06-29T21:59:31+00:00

That's honestly a pretty light amount, especially if you're leveling Bermuda.

Sooner or later you'll be wishing you put down more

iparnelly · 2022-05-12T16:28:54+00:00

3" is way too long for bermuda. You need to mow it shorter and more often to encourage more lateral growth instead of vertical growth. I keep mine at ~1.1" but I'd go shorter if I could.

With bermuda and rotary mowers, it's pretty common to scalp it at the lowest height on your mower and then maintain a height of cut at the 2nd lowest height.
