Wehad a junior engineer do some research on a handful of different solutions for a technical design and present the team, he came up with a 27-page document with 70+ references(2/3 of which were reddit threads), no more…
I feel the same way, if all one is doing is feeding stuff into AI without doing any actual work themselves, just include your prompt and workflow into how you got AI to spit this content out, it might be useful for…
He doubled down on his opinion by sharing a sequence of posts from a X account that denounces "woke activism" in the software industry and open source projects. He criticised the political activism in open source…
I also left my home country about a decade ago. I was already expecting a lot of gambling site ads, they took over the soccer tournament sponsorships almost completely anyway. But what I found out when I came back in…
Multiple parties that eventually devolve into a two-party system, for decades it was PT-PSDB until PSDB imploded, now it's PT vs whatever the right/center coalesces into(MDB for decades, PSC after that, now PL). In fact…
Interestingly, I've spotted a few places in Portugal already accepting Pix as a form of payment, catering to a large demographic of Brazilian immigrants and tourists.
Varies by country, but yeah, in general Credit Card options in Europe are pretty bad, here's my research on options in Spain: Sabadell: No fees no perks for CC Bankinter: No fees no perks for CC Ing: No Fees no perks…
Which confused me, as someone from Belo Horizonte who started uni just around that time. As far as I knew, Google was generally known one of the highest paying companies by far back then. It's benefits were unmatched…
Having worked on presentation software, it's more complicated than what it looks like in its surface. First, considering the base/generic case, you can't really beat Powerpoint, Keynote and Google Slides, they are…
Or in other words, "Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
What seemed quite common for me was(working in European startups): Company gets investment from american investors, investors either recommend synergy with products or bring some trusted executives, new executives bring…
Nitpicking your comment but that's not Olympic archery, olympic archery doesn't include compound bows, only recurve bows(also the Olympics specifically uses 70m distance only).
Chrome is core to Google's business so it's worth it advertising, they also advertise the Pixel phone a lot in high-end places in global cities because they need to gain market share for mobile browsing and phones…
Because it's easy money(and as others said, to stay employable). If someone created a framework yesterday there are few experts, and they won't judge experts by years of experience, if you're a relatively new FE in the…
Spain salaries can be ridiculous, there has certainly been a boom and some startups are paying well for senior roles as competition heats up, but I consistently get recruiters pinging me with 30-40k openings for senior…
Assuming you can objectively measure someone like this, either by LoC or delivery times, this is the wrong way to approach any project. Having a 10x engineer(or even worse, a 500x engineer in this alleged case) is a…
Not OP but I worked in Sweden for about 9 months before moving on, here's my take: Maybe related to the local culture, AFAICT Swedes in general avoid conflict and whenever I questioned something at a meeting I was…
I always thought about this, but not about Coca-Cola, since people actually need to want to buy it to acquire it, but Visa and Mastercard have huge advertising budgets, notably for events like the World Cup and the…
It also had a competitiveness to it by using a points system in photos, it was quite clever and it rated photos based on a wide set of criteria, including pose, framing, you'd get multipliers for having groups on the…
Not sure what it's like these days but back when I starting university Google had just acquired a local company and setup their first Latin America office in my hometown(Belo Horizonte), salaries were probably a…
Worst one I can think of is ConvertKit's rebrand that was so bad they went back on it(kept the new logo, but reverted the name change because it had some religious meaning), then again, it's not as big of a brand as…
It's very unfortunate that restaurant websites are often so terrible that sometimes they don't even include a proper PDF to check the menu, I can imagine it really makes it impossible for people with special needs to…
A previous employer used it when they wanted to move away from ActionScript due to flash EOL approaching as the goal of transpiling to multiple platforms was appealing, performance was not the best however and they…
It's a matter of perception, especially in poorer countries like Brazil, why would anyone pay money for something that was previously free? Good example of this is WhatsApp, IIRC it was free for a year then charged $1…
IMO it's a no-brainer to choose complex technology, the incentives are much more attractive. Go the simple way and it works, you get paid and off to the next project, if it doesn't work, its your fault. But on the job…
