They are not necessarily wrong. The most straightforward way to grow into the role you want (e.g. a manager) is to get direct experience doing the job. For example, if you wanted to get a manager role at a FAANG-type of company, you could:

I don't know, there's lots of room for nuance. Maybe the boss asked around and half the team said they felt silo'd and one dimensional, and they wanted a bit more of a "smart person on the team whose core contribution is

I think it's relevant for consumer products where changes are easily measurable, and especially relevant for data-focused teams (growth teams, ML teams) if you're working on infra stuff, enterprise stuff, or longer term complex pr

From my understanding, it’s just like a legacy code base. It is just easier/cheaper to start from scratch than converting the entire thing a piece at a time.

No - that's way too narrow of a view of his overall assessment which is basically that a couple of things matter to a country: 1. Access to key resources (food, energy, other products/services). That includes being able to manufac

They aren't. There is plenty of hiring if you are in one the priority areas (AR/VR, AI/ML, short form video, ads, privacy) or if you have specific skillsets (ML mostly). Other teams will have trouble getting headcount

Does anyone know how to block websites at something like the router level? I find myself able to get around normal browser-level blockers fairly easily. I'd love to use some parental controls against myself from like 6-5pm on weekdays

US is a big place. I'm paying $75 for unlimited 1G fiber where I live, and it is not a cheap place in general. I have family living in cheaper places paying <$30 for 50-100Mbps cable broadband. I have other family in the suburbs pay

Your "right way" is the right approach to anchor on but in reality it never works out as nice as it sounds. Common problems: 1. You have some projects that are rigorously time bound (e.g. we absolutely need to ship X by Y date). M

I think you shouldn't be too deflated about this. For many decisions, a sync session is necessary (whether it's a group review or a team call). The biggest benefit of a good writing culture is to turn five open-ended time-consumin
