I think that is a particular ability - I can do so as well, but I also recognize that it may be more the exception than the norm. That said, I very much like private offices more.

Even UI developers often get exposed to Invision, especially if mobile is involved - it’s a very useful tool.

My response to that would be that if someone remembers differently, they should treat their coworkers with respect and give them the benefit of the doubt if there is no reason why anyone should be skeptical. That is not a good work dynamic

I have never had to do this nor seen anything like this behavior in my 6 years of work in the industry. This sounds incredibly in bad faith, and I would probably take it as a signal to go job search for a better work environment if I witnes

This is something I generally recommend to juniors, which goes against a lot of advice I’m seeing here - spend more time learning if your work is all good for the day. Early on, it is important to ramp up to get to senior as quickly as poss

I’d argue even 10 years ago the quality of Time was questionable. One of my friends was interviewed on chiptunes by Time at around that time due to a success of a Kickstarter for a Miles Davis chiptune album he did, and the editor twisted h

Just hiding how many jerks a company has until after the interview process is complete is not effectively any better - it could even be worse for people, as they could have had signal to avoid the jerk. The absence of evidence of some behav

Not sure what you’re reading, but it said nothing about requiring a license - what the person said was very different than the definition cited. In fact, the obsession over the license part clearly misses the mark. This is what the summary

Did you even check the link? The Wikipedia article has a definition of a professional engineer right in there, and what you said did not agree with it at all.

That is not the definition of an engineer. See Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer

The satellite issue is why I don't think a space elevator as currently conceived will ever make it.

At this point, I think Flow clearly has a minority mindshare & is looked at more skeptically all around the JS ecosystem, and maybe even the React ecosystem based on what I see talked around. TS does a much better job integrating with e

For the big labels, most of the money is not going into the costs of making the content itself - most of it is going into marketing, executives, etc. The musicians themselves get a small portion of it. The model faces some threat due to the

I dunno, I had no problem getting into big companies and excepting my current company (a FAANG), I have only worked for small companies in my whole career (almost 5 years of working at small companies). The big things that seem to matter ar

This looks like an ad - does anyone have an opinion on the book itself?

I have had this happen twice to me ever, one being a startup that went on to fail, and the other being Amazon. I now work at a different FAANG. Amazon balked at me asking for $250k minimum total compensation for a position in San Francisco

It's more than just pride with security clearances - they're minimum requirements for a lot of federal government work.

My first reaction based on the title was probably the same as a bunch of people here, but then I reread the title. I agree, it absolutely is the manager's job to make sure the process is positive.

There are plenty of things one can gauge candidates on via the whiteboard. System design, application design, psuedocoding implementation (or real coding, if necessary - it should be natural flowing from psuedocode to implementation though)

The housing numbers look poorly researched in general. Sunnyvale for example is not that hard to find a 2 bedroom apartment for under $3k - I'm paying $2700 a month myself for one with over 1k sqft and modern appliances.

That sounds like a quick way to get hit by a big fine from the EU - I’d probably attribute this to inconpetance rather than malice.

The idea behind this looks awesome - if I understand correctly, this is to encourage people to program more to interfaces provided by plugins so that implementations can be swapped more easily. This does not require a type system either to

I've bounced back and forth between Atom and VSCode - the main reason for me has been bugginess with prettier plugins. I've had more weird issues with the VSCode one, so I've leaned more on Atom. Perf for VSCode is definitely

This comment is a little strange - NoSQL is prevalent, especially when dealing with large data sets, or certain problems such as search. That said, I’m not sold on serverless.

My comment on military dominance was a neutral one - I was making no judgment on it being a good or bad thing. However, if you are an American, you almost certainly would rather have it where your country is in command versus the other poss

Even if the US doesn’t do this, you can bet some other countries like China will have no scrupples with investing in capabilities. US military dominance shouldn’t be taken for granted. I would expect China to eventually surpass the US given

Sure, but my point was one should consider complaints as signal that the situation should be monitored/investigated so that the general outlines of an actionable plan can be crafted if there are potential areas of risk, or in the most

I’ve never seen technical debt referred to such at any workplace - all the time I’ve seen the term used to refer to poor or outdated design decisions that compromise the ability to deliver on business objectives in serious ways. Complaining

As a counterpoint, I am a dropout myself, but certainly was cut out for completing a PhD. Extenuating circumstances of a different nature affected my own ability to continue after investing 4 years and at the point of choosing an advisor. P
