This isn't true at all. Its obvious for a senior/staff/principal engineer to claim that their skillset is infinitely transferrable to any job role that needs a staff level skillse, but its simply not true. There are tooling a

IMO the PhD description here isn’t really useful for STEM fields and is too simple/idealized. What you learn in a PhD is how to do science. You learn about: experiment design, getting funding in your field, writing papers in your field

It’s not about what is interesting; it’s about what is productive. Kubernetes is interesting but I would not launch a project in it at a scale smaller than say 20M USD/year hosting costs because you’ll probably be able to make a higher

If you run “run of the mill” lambdas that use postgres, there is virtually no locking as well (every cloud provider has lambdas)

fargate is "serverless" and has the same vendor lock in that lambda does

Vendor lock in is a non issue. Prices have been dropping across the board for basically all cloud services across all providers as long as cloud has been a thing. While the hosting itself might be 5x more expensive, you can generally run a

You do realize that like, 10% of the student population at UCSB is offically homeless right? Right now they sleep on friends couches, in their cars, or in transient weekly rental situations

The people in the unions, and the leaders, are not "pro government spending" they are pro "the government spends money on me" it is a small but important difference.

"exponential growth is going to come to an end" We're literally just hitting the part of economic development where the highest impacts to output are not resource intensive but rather intellectual property intensive, and also

I am generally quite liberal but I strongly disagree with he current strain of progressive education reform. There are inherent differences within the capabilities of students, we can detect these early, and we should use them to provide st

Very frustrating. In practice the scientists are expressing uncertainty “we do no know/need to investigate further” not confusion or bewilderment

That there are real visionaries in NFTs does not change the fact that the zeitgeist of the community is centered in the shitNFTs, not in the visionaries, nor does it change the fact that for the huge majority of participants the phrase “I l

The hate is because the realized instantiation of the supposed value creates a bunch of collections of four thousand images of a rabbit or something stupid. The NFT community is largely a bunch of people hyping up crappy animal picture coll

Yes, seattle over the last 5 years, as well as down town Houston Texas have both seen construction booms and price declines or slower than average price increases.

That’s now how pricing happens at all. Rent is not based on “cost plus” pricing it is based on supply and demand

People have been saying this for 40 years and we have seen time and time again, as engineering gets “easier” by 1 click it makes each individual engineer 5x more effective, but it only expands the total pool of people available to do the wo
