Plan to spend 2+ hours to go over the videos by FogCreekSoftware through youtube:
1. Make better software: Recruiting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVte99aCL_4
Best talent only applies 7 jobs in life time at most!
2. What do programmers care about - Joel Spolsky, Stack overflow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLyALWAp8IM
What programmers are looking for?
Steak dinner did not work, starting from 90s, Microsoft gave interviewee this kind of steak dinner. After 10 years, it did not work, and then stop.
Do you have a question for me? (in the interview)
Can you see a schedule for your product?
One step away from development to publish, 5 steps should be programmed to one step, assume that you are a developer, a good developer.
"the joel test" - Google - 15 of tests
3. Make better software: Design

5. A Conversation with Joel Spolsky

Editorial Notes:
Why Julia chose the company "Fog Creek Software" to study on Nov. 3, 2016?
Because she watched Edmond Lau's interview through FogCreekSoftware, see blog:

Actionable Item:
1. Next series of videos to watch:
Think like a programmer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgzpqlF54lo&list=PLKQ5LYb497AZIZe9dBWy8GwLluVaMQVj0
2. System design: Youtube

From January 2015, she started to practice leetcode questions; she trains herself to stay focus, develops "muscle" memory when she practices those questions one by one. 2015年初, Julia开始参与做Leetcode, 开通自己第一个博客. 刷Leet code的题目, 她看了很多的代码, 每个人那学一点, 也开通Github, 发表自己的代码, 尝试写自己的一些体会. She learns from her favorite sports – tennis, 10,000 serves practice builds up good memory for a great serve. Just keep going. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
