I’m in the same boat. I’ve never directly applied to the 3 jobs (including a FAANG) that I’ve taken in Silicon Valley. One found me on angel list and the others LinkedIn or direct email. Similar to you, the places I did…
It looks like someone from the company reached out in the comments section: > I just saw your post this morning. I'd like to help resolve this as quickly as possible, if I can. I'm not exactly sure what happened in your…
Oof! Does anyone recommend any tools for protecting against this sort of stuff? I feel like a VPN wouldn’t even be enough here since the MAC address is coming through the headers. Edit: typo
> Today's JavaScript developer is acting like they have a 100 GHz CPU with terabytes of memory. And being lazy and uninspired as a result. Not sure how I feel about a statement this broad. I work mostly with front end…
I went in for an interview recently for the react core team and the guy who interviewed me said Facebook was trying to edge away from open source. He mentioned it’s not worth it to them as much as it was before. Too…
Comments written like this are why I left reddit.
I can understand the frustration with Slack but the comment about large companies using it doesn’t have much ground. I’m at a 3000+ employee company and slack works great for us. I think that one thing that has helped…

I have some friends who were new grads and put on the security team. My first thought was, why put new grads on the security team? Do they really have the experience to protect this sort of data?
I might be misreading/misinterpreting..what was the reason for the closure? The article mentions it was financial but it didn’t seem absolute.
Started at a company that technically was not a startup at the point I joined (10 years old — 300 employees). I got lucky and 6 months in the company was acquired and all my stock vested immediately. Made about $15k but…
The meaning of high quality software can be argued. Another HN comment put it pretty well: >People are more likely to use a buggy app that has features they want over a perfect app with limited features. I understand…
For a website with so many visitors and transactions, I’m surprised this API call never threw enough errors for them to see in logging. I will admit that JS logging can be messy because of all the different environments…
My guess is that there were some engineering job cuts at least. I’ve had some views from Evernote engineers on my LI profile today. Could be coincidence though!
