I always thought it would be really interesting to work for a company like fly.io. Solving hard problems like this seems interesting. On the other hand it could be a giant shit show of micromanagement and toxicity, who knows really. At the

You are probably thinking of management or business consultants like McKinsey and the like. A lot of companies will hire a consultant as a permanent member of staff when they are working in a specialist domain note they may be called someth

> Slow DB queries What I've seen is slow queries but a bigger problem is actually too many queries. It's easy to do especially when using an ORM. It mostly happens on change when you want to add something to an existing query t

Ouch some pain at google today then. I hate to wake up on a Monday morning to this. <3 To the engineers trying to fix it at the moment.

Really interesting. I don't know how many people they will be able to hire given descriptions like this: https://atomicsemi.com/careers/?ashby_jid=c991fb4d-e634-42f2... That can actually successfully perform that

I'm sure that will be the case at some point but for the moment it's not true. It's also important to note that NN's have been around for a long long time with relation to computing in general. The problems caused by usi

Cost of living must be very high in the USA as the lower figure $3 mill would give me a very high salary in the UK. About £1 million would allow a 3% draw-down forever and give a really nice salary like much higher than the average.

I'm not reading another article about remote work because they all make my mind bleed but when anyone is reading remember this: Remote work as existed for a long long time. The pandemic made more people and companies go remote but it&#

Care about what the company I'm working with is making. If I'm not heavily in equity and it's just a job then I shouldn't be giving a dam about they are making. I should only be interesting in what they are paying me and

None of that actually solves the distractions problem really. The fact is that using slack makes it worse. I've actually tried a lot of the solutions talked about here and none of them actually work. Software like slack is literally de

Because they can. The signal is out that growth is slowing so they chop people. The culture in the Western world especially in USA is that "layoffs" are necessary. USA is one of the only countries in the world with "At Will&q

I wanted to see if what all these influencers were saying was true and so I tried to use ChatGPT to create a webapp the other day. The first problem is that it's totally overloaded at the moment if you use the app and so even just logg

If that's what it's saying then it's just like every other blog post or Tik Tok video from someone clueless person who's never worked in tech. 10 to 1 juniors to "senior" would have any "senior" quitt

I mean the only ways you can work with a monorepo are either submodules or a package manager. Do devs really think these are better than a folder ? Having used both they both introduce unneeded complexity and get in the way of actual develo
