This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. How do I deal with co-workers who constantly cite the decisions of engineers who don’t work here anymore?
2. My employment makes it sound like the company owns my past work and side-projects. Is this true? Is this normal?

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. How do you dress for interviews? Full on informal beach bum? Smart casual? Formal suit tie?
2. I’m a new developer and have been asked to interview incoming developers. How do I learn how to interview?

This is the NoRedInk interview process. This is the blog post Jamison likes on getting data out of the technical portion of the interview. This is a slightly pessimistic look at pitfalls in the standard interview process. Google wrote a great article about structured interviewing that might also be helpful.

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. My peers give up and say “have it your way” whenever we have technical discussions. How do I get them to be more vocal about their opinions?
2. I like the idea of measuring things, but metrics seem easy to game. How do I effectively measure team and personal productivity?

Jamison cites this tweet and this blog post about examining your own productivity.
