As someone who switched from Android to iOS and even dual carried for a period of time, I found Android light years more buggy AND janky than iOS. Google still remains years behind there, and I don't see that changing.

AMP in part made me switch to Apple News - it's buggy and doesn't respect browser history (major usability failure on Google's part).

Dependency management is one of the biggest complaints I have seen around Go - I don't think this is accurate.

It was easily always the worst part about the WSJ.

A 1x developer at one of the tier 1 tech companies is...just a 1x developer - doesn't really matter where you're at. Being a multiplier is not about just being technically proficient. It's about enabling your whole team to be

In my 1.5 years or so of using hooks, I'm finding components with hooks subtly more buggy than their class counterparts - there are a lot of gotchas with that dependency array for hooks, I have encountered nasty bugs both with explicit

I fall under this bucket - Twitter is a platform that has always been hostile to nuanced discussion because of its history with length restriction of posts. At that point, I rather use anything else for discussion on ideas/domains.

That page may say that, but I still maintain a ton of Python 2 work stuff that will never be off of Python 2 while the work ecosystem lives.

I think it depends on what you want - I have some pricier headphones myself & I used to own monitor speakers too, but I never think to use any of it with a phone. I use a phone to be on the go, and having big headphones don't go wi

Apple didn't have mass layoffs when it was almost dead I have been told by engineers who were around at that time. I'd think Apple is one of the safest tech companies to be in as an engineer when it comes to times like this.

This comment should definitely be emphasized as the golden path to be working remote for a company like Apple. Once you prove your worth as a top performer, you might be able to flex remote working, or maybe remote working on a temporary ba

I've heard multiple cases of people in NY turned away from testing as well even though they have been in close contact with others who tested positive or live with them. It's very bad there I'm hearing, I think the best we ca

Except wire up routing in a strange way, or pick a library for form validation or form framework, or come up with odd ways of structuring tests, picking a strange approach for animations, etc. This is the cost when app architecture gets del

React has some really painful breaking changes over the last 3 years - Angular did breaking changes in a far more user friendly way. The last breaking change that happened from 16.8 to 16.9 partially ended up resulting in us calling bankrup

I wouldn’t say the same no matter the domain - junior devs can and will surprise you, and because React gives you less guardrails for app architecture, it likely has the potential to go far worse.

There’s a fair number of people who work weekends voluntarily - I’ve even gotten bug reports on odd days when corporate is shut down like Dec. 26th. My manager and some on my team at Apple generally discouraged me from working on weekends -

It's not as easy to just refactor when it comes to UI oftentimes because you are often writing completely new UX.

Everything I hear from friends at all these companies is that for stress, Amazon > Apple > Netflix > Facebook > Google. Netflix seems far less stressful than Apple from everything I've heard from employees that have worked

Typically to be allowed to work remote at a FAANG, you need to have spent time doing critical work onsite - this is still a very rare arrangement. One secret is that management in most companies, even FAANG, often will let you work remotely

I feel your pain there, definitely experienced it at most prior companies. Unfortunately good engineering management is uncommon in our industry :( .

I was going to reply something to this effect - it's ok to climb or whatever, but do things on your own terms without caring about how other people are doing. You can still be happy for their success and should be, but as long as you g

Downleveling happens, but the $ calculation almost always makes it out very much ahead. At my previous job at a startup, I was making $160k base with stock options as a tech lead/engineering manager, but at my current job at a FAANG, I

100% agree - I joined a FAANG company 2.5 years ago and was given a $280k package as a mid-level. After two annual review cycles, I currently make $318k. My initial RSU grant is about to hit double what it was ($105k initially), and my refr

There are different ways of making teams more productive than doing just technical work. For my own anecdote, I often can fix a lot of bugs/feature requests that come by in < 10 minutes, and often will. As soon as it is revealed tha
