This tends to be a much lesser problem once the person's original country is in the EU, but yeah if you are coming from outside the EU it can be super tricky. Even professions that is desperate need like nursing and doctors can be hard

In Brazil the top private hospitals were full of people speaking in Spanish and English. Private care is only better if you pay out of pocket though, most people with private insurance in Brazil don't get to go to those hospitals.

It is not that bad, the code is easier than your average web server and it is usually only one CPU for consumer devices. It gets bad if: 1) You add embedded linux 2) You have multiple CPUs that need to communicate with each other. 3) Both o

No it is more like the 10000 lines of code running in your washing machine, you will probably be updating it in the next year revision of the product. It is quite common for this code to have all variables be global and just not have any he

There are quite a lot of embedded code that relies on obscure C compilers created and maintained by the CPU manufacturer. But then again you are probably not doing a whole lot of heap management in embedded code.

As someone working with datastore/firestore in a product first created around 10 years ago I wish you could have been there at the time. Running a migration to add a boolean field to all existing documents of a certain type took ~40 ho

> use read replicas for BI Yes this is good advice, until you get really large scale you don't need anything more fancy than some SQL in a read replica.

Yes, this is exactly what I mean.

That is actually usually not that bad (if there is, you know, revenue). What is really bad is when those teams start to roll out a lot of custom code that other teams need to use. If they are just configuring standard tools for everyone els

If your org starts a platform team it is really important to have this concept drilled on early. Buffet, not framework. I clearly remember having some discussions with platform people in my last job and asking them "why should I use yo

Software companies just open subsidiaries in the target country and sell services through the subsidiaries. The only thing this does is make it harder to move profit to the home country (and there are ways sound this) and add a lot of accou

I did some perf benchmarks a few years ago on some JS code vs C code compiled to WASM using clang and running on V8 vs the same C code compiled to x64 using clang. The few cases that performed significantly better than the JS version (like

Related topic, but every company I worked at that had a platform team (as in a third-crew support team that manages tools/practices/common-code for a discipline) ends up being infested with over-engineering. They tend to attract t

If it is not supported by the same team that supports typescript it is not really usable in real world applications.

Personally I think the model in Brazil is the best one, you can be fired at any time but you always get severance with the value of the severance dictated by how long you been at the company (I think it was 1 month of salary per year of ten

In Europe where most countries are notoriously hard to fire people they don't do layoffs like that "just to be safe", they instead just cut-back on hiring more people during though times. It has an impact of morale, but not n

High end Android phones have pretty good hardware, in some cases feels better than the equivalent iphone. IMO the main problem of Android is that sofware updates are dropped way too fast. My in-laws have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet (laun
