Are startups your only experience with small companies? There is a world of successful, profitable, smaller companies that probably outnumber startups 10:1.

I'd rather have loved and lost than have missed out and died single. Marriage is great, which is why I remarried. Just understand what you're getting into and make some money before you get married. Then you have something that

Haha sorry, math fail. I don't social media much and let myself get sucked into too many convos at once. 42 with 20 years of experience. Started in '97.

My guess is that the large tech companies in the bay area share certain characteristics, for better and for worse. Many factors are at play though. Do I think working for Intuitive Surgical is just like working for Apple? No, but in many

Before I came to the valley my TC was less than half what it became, but my LE(life enjoyment) dropped commensurate with my salary increase. If you solely value TC then you may be a great fit for the valley. If you value other things, you

Joined a FAANG around 42 w/ 25 years of experience. Spent most of my time at smaller tech companies in a smaller market where I owned a house and enjoyed life outside of work. I was married and ended up getting divorced and stuck w&#

I'm not sure why you assume non-FAANG means non-tech when you work at a non-FAANG tech company. It sounds like you're agreeing with me as you're having a good experience at a non-FAANG company :D

It comes up regularly on HN(i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20846408 ). FAANG folks have high salary expectations, often do not know how to work in a less supportive environment, often possess big egos, and will le

"Total compensation" which is valley-speak for what you get paid plus what you make from stock and other forms of compensation. This is one of the big things you'll run into in the valley: folks who value that extra $150-250k

The /r/sandiego subreddit, for instance, is controlled by a weirdo who masquerades as two moderators and who will shadowban you for merely participating in the subreddit created to escape his control(/r/sandiegan).

Not sure if I am reading you right but are you saying the options are either to go to a FANG or a startup? If so, I'd add startups to the set of places new grads should avoid. Assholes are everywhere, so learning to deal with them is

Aren't a lot of those projects built on top of FANG outputs? I.e. pytorch, tensorflow, CUDA, AWS, etc?

I'm not getting into that debate, but I'll say that the most important thing for a new engineer isn't being at an innovative company. It's just learning the ropes, making your first mistakes, fixing them, learning team

I'm sad we 'lost' /. to the morons. I think a lot of us gave up at some point and moved on to kuro5hin, reddit, hn, etc. It's too bad the content of a site is tied to its moderation system. It would be great if yo

Nope. Pseudo on both. I do feel like I have more of a persona on Twitter though, with some high profile accounts following me back and such. I regularly burn my reddit accounts every year and start fresh. It's not like the karma is

You probably don't want to go to a FANG. Start your career somewhere else. It's easier to 'level up' and if you want to go FANG later on you can leverage that. I am the highest level of Sr. SWE at my FANG w/ very

I stay for a couple of worthy subreddits. Overall the site is trash. The subreddits for my local city are slowly turning into a weird BLM/Nextdoor hybrid though. Any mention of cops results in an endless parade of ACAB/bootlicke

IDK what it is about reddit that makes it easy to get sucked into an argument. When I'm twitter, I just speak my mind. If you don't like it, fine, I feel little compulsion to engage. If things get nasty, I just mute or block. I

Somewhat, but when the attacker controls the channel they can allow the challenge-response to complete before compromising the integrity of the channel.

Your voice is indeed a form of authentication to other people that know you. How long until it becomes a valuable token which needs to be protected? I can see various forms of 'man in the middle' attacks taking place with selecti

It also doesn't help that N vs S Vietnamese sounds fairly different. My father in-law joked he probably couldn't understand someone from the central coast. There's quite a bit to remember regarding proper pronouns due to one

I'm an aging gen x'er. I would feel the same way if American cities were safer, more polite, and more pleasant to live in. I visited Tokyo a few decades ago and was amazed at what life could be like. Unfortunately, the issues o

Does that include copper pipes, which are being phased out? Regardless, it matters. Nearly everything that is being electrified, including formerly gas appliances like water heaters and stoves, will require more copper. Unlike lithium, we

EV passenger vehicles are great until you look at the supply of copper. Seriously, I love my car, but I also understand that we can't have everyone in one. Mass transit, walking, biking, e-bikes, etc... These are all competitors to E

Yeah, Geneva Convention, more or less. Otherwise it would be trivial to mass blind infantry or other groups of people. I suppose, unless the laser was powerful, you could just use indirect vision(i.e. cameras + display goggles) to protect

In my experience it's a lot less interesting than this. It's more like your typical party scene except everyone does drugs and is into polyamory or some non-traditional sexual practice. I swear, literally every time I set foot in

This sucks as someone who has had movement disorders(essential tremor, tics) for decades. It also sucks because the covid booster, like a flu shot years ago(only one, I get them every year) caused a dramatic worsening of my tics for a few

Hackernews isn't for hackers. If anything, it's geared towards software engineers, most of which aren't anything like "hackers" and can swing fairly convervative on many topics. This place isn't old school slas
