Just to be clear: competent people exist everywhere, in the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, India, Japan, China, Argentina, Korea, Luxembourg, Sweden, and everywhere else. What matters is where these competent people want to go. When people w

After 15:35, he says something like "...2 years ago when I first started working for Amazon...". So he probably didn't sign up just to make this video. Clueless about the Amazon Flex part (never heard of it, and I'm not

No. It's artificial, no matter how good it is. When people die, I accept that they're gone and move on. I don't want to cling onto what is effectively their ghost.

I already have over 4 years of professional software engineering experience (mostly backend web development). Before that I've been coding as a hobby for like 8 years. I'm pretty good with C, python, and PHP, though I'm famil

It says the correct time for me too. I'm not that close to Qatar, and I suspect not that close to you either.

Agree. There's plenty of wealthy stealthy people around, who put a lot of effort into their business and not necessarily into themselves. They'd fly right under the radar. The following may not be a perfect example of the above, b

CONUS (can't help but giggle) supposedly stands for Continental United States, as I learnt from a sibling comment here. First time I'm hearing that acronym. Target is a supermarket chain in USA. I assume Bestbuy is also something

For me, even though I had a superficial understanding of git, it was finally after going through the first few chapters of the Pro Git book that things finally clicked, and I literally sat there wondering how I managed to code anything at a

> Because they thought that would be more similar to e.g. MIT Why would a superficial similarly to "MIT" be any be useful? Any potential student should be able to look past that.

Not technology as such, but here goes: 1. Stock market. I just don't get it, beyond a superficial understanding. 2. Oil futures market. My brain just melts trying to make sense of it.

I had read a couple of Grisham's works some years ago and found them enjoyable. I thought I had never read Crichton (just not into dinosaurs) until I realised that I have infact read his State of Fear many years ago. However, I have no

I know you said no Windows — and I haven't used Windows in over a decade. But back when I did use it, it had a nifty feature where if you create a new empty text file in notepad and save it as .LOG, then each time you open that file it
