Its in google / Nest's best interest to put in common place security measures like MFA or notifications like detecting an unknown device accessing the camera. If I'm paying this much $ for a product, i don't want to…
I believe code design is ultimately subjective. Unlike other metrics like performance which can be easily and definitively measured, you can't easily measure 'good' code. The definition of 'good' changes based on the…

I think try catch is fine with some documentation or commenting around why the developer chose to do so instead of specific handling for all the different possible exceptions.
Why shouldn't people optimize for the number? At the end of the day, people change, and being optimistic or excited about the job today doesn't mean they'll feel that way 4 years from now. Money on the other hand, is…
this is so true, and my experience exactly. one thing i do disagree with is commenting, there is a time in a place and its hard to derive on a rule on exactly where, when and how, but well placed comments are VERY…
competition is a good thing, it encourages all competing parties to strive for a better product. from an investment point of view, its a bit similar to Lyft vs Uber ... pretty much the exact same business, but there is…
I work on an engineering growth team that focuses on large-scale digital advertising and can say it does work, for the right business, in the right context. You need a proper analytics team, engineering team, and…
when you climb high grades the rock becomes extremely difficult to navigate and 'grip'. The common example is stacking 2-3 credit cards on top of each other and looking at the edge from the top - thats the size of the…
pretty much every big company in silicon valley is known for their engineering talent, since top talent just moves around from company to company (e.g: lots of ex-googlers, ex-facebook, etc).
surprisingly however, video as a medium has exploded recently and with the advent of 'live' and popularity of stories on instagram, Snapchat is in a good spot.
i find it hard to believe that it could do worse than Twitter.
I'm actually super confused by what this is.
Anecdotal, from the small sample size I've seen from working in Silicon Valley.
Many 22 year olds with a CS degree have been coding since they were 12.
Glad to see some sanity for once and people that realize building 'trivial' apps like Twitter and Uber are not feasible 'in a weekend'. Just making sure the app is secure takes months, and security becomes more complex…
Because running the ads team at Twitter alone would take 75 people.
It's time to disrupt police states, hopefully there are start-ups already on it.
Let's be honest, the only reason companies aren't transparent about these things is because of investor/founder greed. Whether or not the numbers are 'fair' isn't even relevant until employees fully understand their…
Clearly jet.com's primary user base isn't from the tech crowd. Looking at the comments, seems like a lot of people don't understand that Jet's user base is probably value-conscious consumer's that shop for household…
It's easy to complain and identify problems, I don't really understand why these posts are so popular, but one seems to crop up on HN every month or so. It's kind of tiring to see all this negativity towards something…
Most full stack developers have breadth but not depth. It's incredibly time-consuming to have a complete understanding of the entire stack and no matter what you do, even if you live and drink code and do it all the…
Valuations have been questionable but that alone does not mean we are in a bubble. I'd rather we looked at the amount of funding that has been raised and the amount loss to gauge whether we're in a bubble.
Likes should never be the measure of success when advertising on Facebook.
Thank you! i'm so glad someone did a post like this, maybe finally we can stop having people say things like 'oh i can build an MVP of Twitter / Instagram in a weekend, its just a photo sharing app'. No. There are a LOT…
