Just a note, before Slack a lot of the company was just using iMessage - nobody wants that, 30+ people group chats with messages at all hours of the day was the worst digital communication experience I've ever seen at a company.

This comment nails it - anyone who has had to investigate other offerings that satisfy the needs of project management, design, and engineering will quickly find that all the other options out there are total garbage in comparison to Jira,

This is not true - it's not necessarily obvious that things should hold when you're dealing with infinity as one of the bounds. In fact, there are cases where interchanging the order is not allowed when you're in that situati

My only complaint here is that it looks like after a while it recycles through the names - it should probably take you to a summary page once you reach the end of all the questions.

Comparable is generally not true - the difference is maybe ~$30k at best in DC vs. the Bay Area for example, but DC compensation is nowhere near what you can get in the Bay Area. The only thing in the US that beats it it seems is NYC area f

Can confirm as a senior engineer at a FAANG. I've rejected people for showing negative non-technical traits but being ok technically, and recommended people for hire with not the best technical skills but with excellent non-technical&#

> What's scarier is that the Bay Area, with ubiquitous masks, good-ish weather, partial closures, and lower population wasn't even able to keep new cases down. I’d contest that characterization of the Bay Area - even in Santa C

A caveat on the caveat about cars - I live without a car in the suburbs just fine (Sunnyvale). YMMV, but for me a car would be more of a nice to have. I'll probably get one in a few years anyway after maybe buying a house here, but it&

I’d like to see more elaboration than a claim that her behavior is toxic - that is not helpful or conducive for spreading knowledge. I don’t see anything here that matches up to that claim at all, speaking as an outsider.

I actually moved to the Bay Area because long term it has the best compensation when accounting for cost of living that I calculated for net take home pay unless I wanted to move over to NYC fintech (definitely don’t want to). While $300k+

I don't see this issue having IntelliJ, Xcode, VSCode, Slack, Discord, and more open simultaneously on a continuous issue...with 16 GB of RAM. I'm somewhat impressed by some of these stories about RAM usage - what are people doing

I've had terrible customer service from Google's paid products as well. Google is intentionally customer service hostile overall because it's an area that defies automation.

> Fixing grammar, typos and formatting only is complete non-sense. And non-sense is highly discouraged. This comment in the README is pretty shitty - those sorts of fixes are still valuable.

On a side note, anyone else get janky behavior trying to scroll on the homepage here? It feels like a janky/simpler version of what you see for the Apple product pages.

And if you worked at Apple or Amazon in 2012 and still are working there today & holding that stock, your stock went up almost 20x - an original $100k grant would be worth about $2m, and that's not even counting any of the follow o

Being a senior at FB/Google/Apple is more equivalent to staff at Amazon and principal almost everywhere else to my understanding. FWIW, before I joined my company (a FAANG), I was an engineering manager/tech lead hybrid. I en

I've come to the same conclusion about startups vs. FAANG - I finally buckled 3 years ago and joined one, my initial grant 3x'd and my refresh grants 2x'd...that's a lot of wealth that startups weren't giving me, no

This may have used to be true to a degree, but the console makers don't really sell consoles at a loss anymore, or a minor loss at launch knowing that they will turn a profit soon enough on the hardware once they reach volume. Not sure

My guess is that the deaths probably would maintain roughly the same rate for the true number of infected, which is a number we do not know because of asymptomatic cases. That numbers of people testing positive is going up doesn’t mean that
