Now we have a system that just asks you to write a paragraph about your coworkers and rate from one to five their ability to get stuff done, help others get stuff done, and mentor others. I've heard horror stories about stack ranking causing weird back stabbing and competitiveness, but haven't experienced anything like that personally now that it's gone.Edit: Adding linksSo, the short answer is "yes".I think the short answer is "no". The replacement evaluation criteria mentioned is EXTREMELY common industry wide for peer review processes.Thanks for the reply.Is your team remote friendly? If not globally, at least US or close timezone?Just for clarity:IamnotaskingthisbecauseI'minterestedinthejobjustcuriousaboutteamcomposition.Last time I looked at Azure openings, they were mostly in the US.Job posting says the following so I assume not:LocationsUnited States, Boulder (CO)I came in with the same acquisition and was astonished how Go and Kubernetes oriented the team is. It's really amazing to be honest.A little off topic, but did you give a talk at Gophercon about functional programing?He sure did! And it was great, I want to write everything in FP now!Couldn't find a recording of the talk. Anyone know if it'll be made available later?Videos will be out 2 weeks after then end date of the con.Me too! Here's a little writeup preview of his talk: https://about.sourcegraph.com/go/functional-programming-in-goI'm really amazed at how complicated stuff can be at this hiring level.Even feedback seems like a burden.Please hire UX for the feedback area.Turns out, getting someone's honest opinion when there are financial incentives at stake is actually a really hard problem to solve.I was introduced to the Kubernetes source code by an Redhat Kubernetes Core Contributor. He showed me the nasty parts how they solved the lack of generics. Actually they use strings to concat valid go source code based on reflections. A little tedious but given the constraints for language choice they had (fast, compiled binary, close to the metal) I think Go is still a decent choice for Kubernetes.He showed me the nasty parts how they solved the lack of generics. Actually they use strings to concat valid go source code based on reflections.i guess that would be the kind of stuff RSC is interested in with respect to Go2... did reddit just hug Microsoft.com ?That shouldn't be possible.edit: Oh, possibly their careers page might have lower capacity.anything for entry level career?I like this job, would fit me well. Probably can't apply from Europe right?I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:[/r/sidj2025blog] Hacker News: Microsoft is Hiring Go engineers to work on KubernetesIf you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads.(Info/Contact)This is awesome. I work with Kubernetes (OpenShift) a lot now and I love the platform and really like seeing the community that has been built around it.Hi arschles, please check your DMs :)
