In my experience, most engineers won't even get the chance to work on something so impactful and cross team/org to land a promotion. Not their fault. Sometime, as everything in life, you are in the right place at the…
I wished people would care more for the real world than virtual land and racing to Mars ... awful times we live in ..
I am not sure about that. Java has been around for some time now, but any Java developer can easily read code written 20y ago. I find c++ syntax terse and hard to read. A good example is the well know boost library.…
I agree with the string argument. I felt the same struggle, too many string types. It is hard to remember when to use what. I wish there were one string type to rule them all.
I worked on few projects in c++ many many years ago, so I don’t define myself as an expert in that language, but c++ nowadays scares me, looks like the language complexity have exploded and code looks like complex to…
I wish an expressive language like Rust, but with a GC, so I don't have to think about borrow/checker and memory manager in general. I have tried to use Go but did not find appealing or ergonomic. I would choose…
Will Apple finally make up their mind? Most of the big tech are getting more and more work remote friendly. If they want to retain talents ... they must align with them. Otherwise they will continue to bleed engineers…
Less and less people are using FB .. perhaps IG and Whatsapp yes, although you have to consider that privacy regulations can only get more stringent over time. Will they go bankrupt ? I don't think so. Will they be able…

I suggest you to keep practicing those leetcode ...
I think FAANG should be renamed to MAAG the only companies that will continue to dominate the tech industry at least of the next 2 decades ... Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google Everything else ... not so sure ...
I suspect/hope that many (socialist) political leaders around the globe are going to be forced by their supporter to re-asses their usage of Twitter.
Elon is no fit to own and run a social media company. Let’s remember the toxic tweet against Bernie https://twitter.com/sensanders/status/1459584250668331011 I will for sure delete my account.
If the data is publicly available then it should be legal to scrape it and use it. LinkedIn can decide, if they want, to put all the data behind login. Problem solved.
As soon as you have to import any investment data (who does not have at least $100 in S&P these days???) and you also have to file state taxes, then turbotax ends up begin expensive. I think I payed something like $300…
Man you should enjoy your life. You have no idea how fortunate you are, and here you are feeling unhappy. I don't get it. People out there really struggle to get by day-by-day. I am sorry, but I can't feel sorry for you.
"Google Services generated $69.4 billion, or about 92% of total revenue, in Q4 FY 2021. Advertising revenue, at $61.2 billion, comprised 88% of the segment's revenue." Most of their money comes from Ads, they couldn't…
Things (housing, schools, cost of living) are so expensive that also "tech" workers at so called FAANG are leaving California to work in new campuses that big tech are opening in other (for now still cheaper) places in…
I trust my judgement based on all the information I have gathered. Then I check with friends and people that I trust, certainly not the random dude on youtube that ads the best blender 2022.
I might trust Consumer Reports, parents/neighbors/friends but not some random dude on youtube...
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that people are actually "influenced" by influencers. I have never trusted anyone and anything. When it comes to spend MY MONEY I do my own research, period.
and that's why smart sw eng should start transitioning into management...
you need both, in my experience working in SaaS, enterprises expect reliable and stable platforms. A staging environment is that extra safety net that can help preventing shipping a completely broken product. In a…
I don't see how this can scale beyond a single service. Complex systems are made of several services and infrastructure all interconnected. Things that are impossible to run on local. And even if you can run on local,…
Suffice to say I'd never join Meta. I don't use their platform, I don't like what they do, and most important I don't like their tech bro company culture.
