Every day is a new horror.
Take a close look at the teams. A friend of mine had several offers from teams at Google. The first team she choose sucked and she was ready to leave a month after she joined. After a chat with HR, she was transferred…
The small midwestern town from which I hail is rotting. The residents could never afford the luxuries flowing here in the valley. They are angry. They are huge Trump supporters. They don't want handouts. They want jobs.…
Sums up my interpretation of his writing, which I was forced to digest at uni.
I don't plan on leaving but there are a few fears that make me think about it. These are: Not being taken as seriously as my male colleagues (by men and women). Worrying about being hired for the wrong reasons. Getting…
I feel the same. I will stop coding when they nail shut my coffin.
This happened to me once. I ended up coding my own personal projects at the "host" company to pass the time. Otherwise, I would have gone nuts.
Some interesting blurbs from the manifesto: "This document is mostly written from the perspective of Google’s Mountain View campus, I can’t speak about other offices or countries." "Change is good (unstable)" vs "Change…
Whatever we do, it's important that we learn how to control the "ingredients" of our atmosphere. There are so many things that could go wrong with our atmosphere and result in mass extinction. Global warming, ice ages,…
I'm 99.9% certain these vehicles would be forced to fly over existing roads. And it's likely the final product would be autonomous to ensure no one could do a random fly over of your house.
Evolution is a beautiful thing. I once worked for a monolith who decided to invent a new way of programming. They built something massive and ready to scale even larger. And then they discovered no one wanted the…
I've worked on distributed teams where kids pop into conference calls to say hi. It actually does some good when everyone is getting pissed about some shitstorm or another. If a kid (or kitten) pops on the screen,…
In our case, we sold TWO houses that we owned outright in another state, and this was our down payment for our house in silicon valley.
Love this idea. I needed the company machine years ago.
Work smart not hard. Automate everything you can automate. I do this and I routinely finish projects 30% faster than my peers. Another plus is that automation results in less human error.
A great article. There is one thing the author got wrong. Pot IS addictive. My brother can't go more than 3 hours w/o smoking it. If he does, he starts to sweat like crazy. He once went an entire weekend without it and…
IQ means little if you do not have the ambition, drive, and courage to be more. I have known many people with superior IQs working in brainless jobs. They would not leave or consider another way of life. Actually, one…
This made me think of IOI in Ready Player One.
Looks like any other brittle FSM. It's missing an important layer of logic. And yeah, I'm bias because I'm finishing up an FSM that crushes that brittleness.
We should rephrase the question as "why don't computer scientists learn traditional math symbols?" Try writing traditional equations with your keyboard. Try posting your answer online. Modern computer science breaks…
If you've ever done a job search in tech, there are always 10x more software engineering jobs than PM jobs. There is that. A thought... I have worked at monoliths, a mid-sized corp, a hatchery, and my own. At a…
The best software engineers at my company are self-taught.
Places like school make it easy to connect with people you like. Same if you work in a large social environment. Leave this space and everything changes. As soon as I left college and got a job in tech, I was surrounded…
Defeat ignorance with cleverness. Create a solution that is far superior to what coal and oil have to offer. Make it so affordable that you cut the coal industry off at the knees without relying on politicians to get…
I use this process and it works great. We give potential hires a 1-4 hour project to do at home, they bring it into our office to defend. We don't pay them to create the project. We don't look at education. Some of our…
