When naming things like tables, always future proof
If you sell wine, calling a table “wines” will be confusing when expanding to beer
“Beverages” will be confusing when you sell ice
“Products” confusing when expand to services
recommend tables be called “stuff” or “table1”

Tech interviews focus so much time on writing code instead of debugging code. Debugging ability is one of the core skills I look for in more senior engineers.

On my way home checked it out and found one taken by a bus… instagram.com/p/BxLBXHonRU3/…
