It's become the software industry's equivalent of standardized testing.
I regret not being able to go to any of the Fountain Valley Fry's midnight releases that were hosted by the Blizzard dev teams. I wasn't even in high school yet when those were still being held. In hindsight, I think my…
The first dinner I ever ate after arriving in SF was at their original HQ's cafe/restaurant, thanks to some friends who worked there. It was so good! I regret not having gone as a guest more often.
Bankruptcy is temporary. I wish I had been willing to risk it in my 20s.
Hispanic isn't a race.
Probably not true for their front-end positions.
People typically don't agree to anything that impacts them negatively unless forced to.
Those are implementation details. It's difficult to accomplish these things in any taxation system, including our current one.
Granular progressive taxation is the best answer to your question. Trying to define buckets with arbitrary thresholds is futile. It greatly benefits the top outliers, since the top bucket will have a huge disparity…
I don't have links to back this up, but I believe the following two statements are true in US markets, based on my anecdotal industry experiences: - The majority of mobile apps that only launch on one native platform…
Twitch is an immeasurably worse place to work at now than it was before the pandemic. The creep of corp Amazon culture accelerated. Twitch was acquired in 2014, but it was still Twitch, and not Amazon, when it came to…
You can order takeout.
I barely qualified for a previous state credit within $1000 of the cutoff, right before more than doubling my income during the pandemic industry craziness. I think cutoffs that don't scale or prorate somehow are so…
There's also no advertising relationships that would dissuade anyone from bashing. This is not to say that Tesla doesn't deserve the bashing (it does).
Collusion. Good luck breaking that up, though.
I wish articles like this would reference the antitrust lawsuit over collusion to artificially keep software engineer salaries low in the 2000s. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/24/apple-goo... I also…
>And... before you say, perhaps your salary ranges were bad, they weren't. Our salary offerings are very aggressive to the developer's benefit. In my opinion, salary is a sign of respect from you employer. Let's see…
I'm not sure what you mean. In a corporate job ladder, anyone who isn't strictly a manager and writes at least SOME code is classified as an IC. That's not to say that there are no managers who also write code, though.
It says that each individual Meta employee had to personally appeal to have her specific Instagram account unblocked. Seems like it would be trivial for someone at Meta to verify. If she's not lying, she just completely…
I'm going to use an extreme & contrived example here. How would you feel about a company that pays $200 an hour, but 90% of each new batch of hires are fired by that company within a week? And the 10% who don't get…
>we already copying them with contactless payments Pretty sure South Korea invented these, and China copied them.
I was introduced to all of these techniques at some point throughout my childhood and pre-mid-20s life. None of them really helped me. Prescription amphetamines did, though. It kind of sucks feeling dependent on them to…
