I was a SWE L3 at Google for three years. I left after having similar problems with the promotion process mentioned by others.
Since then, have moved from SF to Ecuador and started a humor publication explicitly making fun of companies like FANG (https://techloaf.io https://techloaf.io).
It’s very cathartic...
- stewfortier 8y agoHave been a loyal TechLoaf reader for the past few months. Thank you for making this, it's consistently one of the things I look forward to most each week.
- mtlynch 8y agoThis is my first time seeing TechLoaf. Really enjoyed it. Great work!
- ccantana 8y agoThanks! Comes out every Thursday, so keep your eyes peeled later this morning if you subscribed :)
- solarkraft 8y agoHey, uh .... why the f do I need to give you my e-mail address to read your stuff?
- ccantana 8y agoAll archives are viewable if you click on “the email” here: https://techloaf.io https://techloaf.io
- theunixbeard 8y agoYou don't have to, just click "the email" which is a hyperlink to the archives: https://mailchi.mp/872ceee548ec/its-loaf-time https://mailchi.mp/872ceee548ec/its-loaf-time https://us17.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=14538d8f8591165977d9a9d93&id=e21336ec0c https://us17.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=14538d8f8591165977...
- softawre 8y agoI wonder what % of people you lose right there because you're trying to be smart/clean/whatever with "the email" link.
- dxhdr 8y agoIt lost me until I came back and read this comment; I did not think to click "the email." The page reads as a standard newsletter subscription form so I just closed the tab.
- ccantana 8y agoHelpful feedback, thanks. Just updated the landing page to make things clearer.
- solarkraft 8y agoThanks. Good content! I still believe you're limiting your audience by not running it like a typical blog. But it seems like that's partly what you want to do.
- buckylong 8y agoHow do I get in on this?
- staticautomatic 8y agoDo you accept submissions?
- ccantana 8y agoAbsolutely, to become a regular contributor: - Send 10 headlines or premises per week to hello@techloaf.io - Repeat for 2-3 weeks - If the jokes check out, we’ll get you added to the top secret Loaf inner circle of writers and editors. Otherwise, more casual contributions are always welcomed if you want to email hello@techloaf.io whenever inspiration strikes. Hope to hear from you either way!
- synotna 8y agoFyi, I subscribed and then got the "subscribe now" popup on the "thanks for subscribing" page
- ccantana 8y agoGood catch, thanks! Fixed now
