...agreed. Contrary to the HN bias, it might be interesting to work for a high energy/high demand place. After you rebuild the staff with people who have not been involved in the recent leadership change, it could turn out to be a fantastic place to work with engineering folks focused on a singular mission. Who knows, but it's worth a shot. That said, not sure how long I might last :-)
- slipheen 4y agoI've worked at a lot of startups, and I love that energy. But part of what I enjoy about it is that I can make a make a real difference in building something new and setting direction, and the sense that all of us are in this together. That's a totally different vibe than when I'm doing maintenance on a 15 year old codebase, with a billionaire second guessing everything I do
- rtp4me 4y agoAppreciate the point of view, but I am a systems/infra engineer - not coder. It would be pretty cool to learn how Twitter keeps its infrastructure running all the time. Even though I have been doing my speciality for a long time, I would certainly like to see how others run infrastructure at scale.
