Just a note, not all people are wired the same - some people are very good at working long hours and 7 days a week. I've done it at times, and my brother has done it to an extreme before.

I dunno, I'm comfortable working on a laptop screen - I usually do so for work, even though I also have a work iMac 5k as well. Would it be nice to have more windows side by side for diffing and such, sure, but it's probably only

Sure, and that probably will hurt such bad actors to some degree, but alternatives also come with downsides too - no product is perfect out there, and people often have different priorities. Not to say I applaud Google's strategy - I t

Good luck convincing people they shouldn't use anything by Google.

Then if someone disagrees & an argument erupts, then that should not be surprising - that post is equally as culpable for igniting a well-discussed issue by posting something clearly so opinionated/leaning towards one side of an is

To be fair, the person stating that Python 3 breakage was a fantastic decision probably should've avoided referring to that as such, as it almost certainly invites disagreement on a controversial topic.

Compared to over 120k employees? Most employees aren't leaking major secrets, much less leaking on a scale like this.

FWIW, Infiniti is owned by Nissan.

Apple could feasibly go further and do integration with macOS Siri as well down the line I'd imagine - Google can't do that nearly as deeply.

Yeah, there's ample evidence that it's almost all no gain on the startup exit side, unless you got very lucky and worked for the right company. I can confirm that RSU payouts at the giants far dwarf what you can get at almost all

Agreed, but public companies also often will give more of that too :) .

Stories like this seem to validate that people should choose real liquid equity of public companies over the paper equity of startups when considering employment.

Open source isn’t a silver bullet - if the library isn’t updated frequently, or has some bugs in design, it can be tough to get them fixed. Maintainers tend to be very protective of the codebases they steward too.

This probably includes more than just office jobs.

An aside to the main content of the article, I found interesting that Mexico topped the list - Mexicans seem to uphold the stereotype that they’re super hard workers.

It doesn't sound like the Republicans are more willing to fix this based on that article - the bill is held up at the House Judiciary Committee, which is controlled by the Republicans.

I don't know if this roadmap really is useful - most developers only work with a subset of the things listed there. This seems especially aimed at more junior developers in general, but looks like it would just overwhelm/confuse t

Truth. This always struck me about most American TV shows, they always drag on to milk every cent instead of formulating strong coherent stories and always end up very shallow as a result.

I’ve paid to use Google services before, and had the most miserable customer service experience with a company ever. Contact information difficult to find, and walled behind accounts you have no knowledge of potentially, and policies design

And as a 34 year old fullstack engineer, I’ll pass. Not that I don’t mind drinking, but it’s a net negative to me in general. I’ll drink once every few months with coworkers and that’s it.

I thought the quote about not attacking oneself interesting - now there is a realization that sometimes you do have to attack your own position in order to beat any other potential disruptors to doing so and taking out your whole business&#

Not all published proofs are necessarily proving a new theorem. Sometimes they are new approaches to proving known theorems. One example of that is the Prime Number Theorem, for which there have been multiple proofs over the years exploring

This story gives evidence to something I have seen from Google, and why I refuse to pay them cash for a service ever again, much less critical ones - Google customer service is bad by design. I have never seen a company so arrogant and opaq

Only if they're working for one of the big tech companies - they almost certainly won't be making that much at a startup out of college unless they happen to be uncommonly good at negotiating/have good experience from interns

As someone who used to work in tech in DC who relocated to the Bay Area, pay in the DMV is really bad for a tech hub. I got a near 100% raise just by leaving for the Valley, and at all but one of the companies I've worked for here, alm

I remember a 2 1/2 years into my career as a software engineer, I was on an initial phone interview with a VC firm. The position was a lead frontend developer role, total comp was $350k-400k roughly - I had an unusual level of expertis
