Ask HN: If you could ask an IC from another company anything what would you ask?
alot of the products and features we use everyday are built by faceless software engineers who arent in the limelight. I thought it might be interesting to start a blog where each week I ask an software engineers/ics(individual contributors) from a different company a few questions to learn how they do things differently.
questions I'm thinking could be interesting: - Whens the last time you used an algorithm (eg b-tree) and for what? - What did you set on fire and what happened next? - whats a new interesting tool or site youve been using lately? - What feature did you build youre proud of and why?
How does that sound? What other questions would be interesting to hear? and is anyone interested in joining to be an interviewee
