Is the prostitution on their resume?
What if the job they were "just" doing exists in a legal grey area? Or, more realistically, is flatout illegal?
Live in a tech hub, get a good recruiter, say yes to everything. 60 is probably extreme, and a good recruiter would probably actually turn you down for this type of behavior, but it's def possible.
No, we're all pretty average people. Mediocre colleges with mediocre degrees and mediocre working histories.
It's less me, and more the experience of myself, my close friends and professional colleagues. But as with everything, I would assume it's a mix of both.
I have less than 20 years experience (less than 10 even) and I have gotten/seen a bunch of offers/jobs/etc with remote-only or remote-first over 100k
First company: My manager met with me once over two years. It was 18 months into my just over two years stay, and all she told me was "We don't know eachother at all so I can't really judge your performance." She gave…
Because it's ridiculous to decide that the bottom of the decision graph should be held responsible for the poor decisions made from above. Engineers should only be held accountable for decisions they made personally.…
"Everyone" in this post is being defined as "Everyone in my extremely small tech bubble"
> I've often found that an internal function might have a parameter that goes unused in any of the external tests, It seems that you're still thinking about "code". What if you thought about "functionality"? If an…
I'm not sure why you feel the need to say this, as the purpose of my post wasn't to challenge any of the other assertions in this thread - rather to provide more information. I'm not going to debate you because there…
I had a therapist a while ago that spent a lot of time talking with me about how discipline and motivation aren't real. His point was that lots of people lose before they start by feeling like they aren't disciplined or…
One thing I've found throughout my career is having Senior in your title is sometimes totally unrelated to your ability to write code or design solutions.
Thanks, I could've explained better, but that is exactly my point.
The most fulfilling area I've ever worked was with wind turbines. Making software for things that actually mattered, as opposed to dumbass ad tech for ad tech's sake, was very enriching for me. With respect to…
CS is less about coding and more about thinking analytically about coding. I started coding at 11, but some of my college classes were still pretty difficult. I wouldn't assume your classes will be a cakewalk -…
I'll be working on moving to Vancouver, BC in the next few years. Small house not near people. I'd like to heavily customize the interior - a thing that I don't do while I don't own.
Yeah. You formulated my opinion much more elegantly than I could've - in my experience it's always the "Well if the tests didn't catch this, we just aren't testing enough." Which in my experience is a losing strategy,…
My personal real life experience with Ruby developers disagrees with you, but I accept that I could just have experienced a set of developers that weren't very good at testing.
I am not an expert, but 75k seems disproportionate from the effort and time the requirements seem to be looking for. For the lofty goal of "Fix the internet", 75k seems more like "An extra few weeks of runway." What am…
Daily standups are not a solution to people not caring about what their peers are doing, is my point. You can't make people care, even if you make them show up.
In my experience, async standups mean everyone posts their status and does not read any other status. Counterpoint: In my experience, at synchronous standups, people totally ignore everyone until its their time to…
Lemme check with my higher ups, but I think so? We would use this functionality a lot.
I have desperately avoided K8s since it became popular, but this seems to be pretty opposite of everything else I've read? Can you share what specifically makes plain docker so terrible?
Caps are way more common, but every monday morning the front stoop at my old office would have a handful of used needles on it. I suppose the hyperbole would be implying "hundreds" of dirty needles all in one place.…
