The 10% of Facebook/Google/Bytedance engineers who work on ads would be stupidly rich. The remaining 90% of engineers who work on cost centers would get paid minimum wage. If you want these residuals to be remotely equal, the metrics that determine them would be so convoluted that you might as well just pay people in stock options or RSUs.
- fragmede 3y agoAds is shooting low. You want your code to be in the network driver in the kernel for every packet received or sent.
- linkjuice4all 3y agoHopefully that network driver doesn’t rely on my ‘isOdd’ code which happens to rely completely on my other ‘isEven’ project.
- anotherhue 3y agopfft. I want residuals when the instruction pointer is incremented.
- butlike 3y agoSo the change request is to change the variable name so we can stop paying the engineer who negotiated higher residuals. Also what is a code contribution. If I write the "if" statement or the functional unit?
