Just go work as an SRE at Google for a couple years.
- Avalaxy 7y agoHave you considered that: 1) Maybe not everyone belongs to the 1% that can pass the interviews? 2) Maybe not everyone lives in a place that has a Google office where development is happening? Sorry but you sound terribly arrogant here, pretending that it's just an option that everyone has and that the whole world lives in the same place where you live.

Esp. in the Formula 1 dptmt, where everything is 10x faster and larger with much more sensors. On normal complicated control systems, such as in an airplane, you do have plenty of time to complete your task in the given timeframe, but in F1 there's not much time left, and you have to optimize everything, HW, protocols and SW. Much harder than in gaming or at scale at Google/Facebook/Amazon. Eg you have to convert your database rows from write-optimized to read-optimized on demand. A simple fast database cannot do both fast enough. A normal firewire protocol is not fast enough, you have split it up into trees. A normal CAN protocol ditto, you have to multiplex it. You have to load logic into the sensors to compress the data and filter it out, to help transmitting the huge amount of data.
