Sitting on the roof?
- djbusby 2y agoRest and Vest baby!
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoThat was literally me at Google
- golergka 2y agoSilicon Valley is one of the most underrated documentaries of the last decade.
- cm2187 2y agoIf you extend the window a little bit, along Yes Minister, Idiocracy and Demolition Man (the last two being a documentary of our time filmed 20y ago).
- golergka 2y ago> Idiocracy I definitely enjoyed this movie, and it's understandable that people of any era, starting with ancient Greece, enjoy lamenting at how stupid people are becoming. However, as long as videos explaining quantum physics and 4-hour long interviews with historians and engineers are still one of the most popular kinds of content on Youtube, I would suggest that it's not a documentary, at least not yet.

- Maken 2y agoAll that is dwarfed next to the amount of people watching the latest reaction to a repost of a video in TikTok.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoIt’s always been the case that most people are mediocre in terms of intelligence. That’s something we should be able to accept. What I want for the future is for more people to be good and happy.
- lulznews 2y agoHow can I get this gig at Google? I’m willing to not work for mid to high six figures.
- dclowd9901 2y agoYou have to be someone who’s worth more not working for someone else than not working for Google.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoYou don't want it. They'll simultaneously pay you big money to stop you from working somewhere else, and crush your soul at the same time. Also they won't do that anymore, I'm sure.
- dymk 2y agoYou don’t. It’s soul crushing.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoYup. I quit!
- renewiltord 2y agoYeah, that’s Google’s reputation. Probably the most famous retirement home in the Bay.
- VirusNewbie 2y agobut it's not true. Most people work a lot at G. Maybe some teams in search coast or something. But for every slacker I know 8 people who stay late a fair bit.
- barbazoo 2y ago“Working a lot” doesn’t necessitate “staying late”
- refulgentis 2y agoNah man come on lol. (source: worked at Google 2016-2023)
- bruce511 2y ago"Most" leaves a lot of room there. Of course there are lots of hard workers at Google. You suggest only about 10% are slackers. But that's 10% of a -lot-. I'm thinking there's a market for an Android app that let's one schedule limited roof space...
- mtnGoat 2y agoMy experience differs greatly, company I used to work for did NDA, alpha, beta projects with Google. I was always impressed at how little anyone knew, the fact that nothing was delivered on time, scope creep to the point of almost everything being delayed and most projects were not well thought out nor well architected. I warned one API update would break things if it went live, and it did. Why was the guy from another company the only one able to see that? I’m sure they were working hard at something but it wasn’t ever clear what.
- zaphirplane 2y agoBut ask a dynamic programming question and watch it get smashed out None of the points you raise relate to being really good at dynamic programming
- gordon_freeman 2y agoremember that from the Silicon Valley (HBO) episode. :)
