At my first job I mandatorily pair programmed with someone every day for months and we had very different personalities. Neither he nor I wanted to and the result was we wore on each other, decorum broke down and the code itself was weaker

That's nice, except the majority of FAANG engineers will never see one of those projects.

by Grimm1 7y ago
Yes and often startups are the ones taking a risk to solve more challenging problems with technology versus the FAANG like companies who operate in large or multiple markets that have predictable money in them for example ads or e-commerce.

"How easy it is to become one" much to every talented engineer's chagrin. If I had a dollar for every engineer who writes unmaintainable, non-tested code that doesn't scale or even manage a company's current needs p

Okay that's a good one and something I can do while I'm working on other things just like passive absorption.

Thanks for the book recommendation I'll check it out! With the speaking aspect, obviously now you are surrounded by French speakers, but what were some of the avenues you used for speaking when you were first learning the language?

Yeah, I've chosen to work in startups for the last 4 years largely because I want to found my own company and I really have enjoyed working in startups. I've learned a lot that I don't think I can get at BicCo in terms of run

I may be inaccurate, I've been using sites like payscale to do the measuring here for averages. If that really is the case then RSUs are quite insane and I'd have to revise my statement. Edit: The sites I'm using make it seem

I believe this post does a very good job of bringing the elephant in the room into the discussion. The current structure of equity compensation for early-stage startup companies is simply not enticing enough to get people to choose that ove

The average turnover is a little over 2 years at BigTechCo so half of the people never see that 4year total compensation.

by Grimm1 7y ago
Edit: The sites I'm using make it seem like the RSU compensation is the one time grant for 100k+ over the 4 year period so if its really a 400k+ stock grant over the 4year period then yes there's really no way to compete with that

I have either gotten that clause struck from my contract, ensured it is limited to direct competition or turned down the position. People really not need to take it for granted, we are in a hot hot hot tech market we have options and that a

You just compared a nazi slogan from the slave work camps to a cushy software engineering job. I won't attack you but you should really step back and reevaluate your thinking on the matter.

I thought the article was a good read and compared the two frameworks with only small hints of personal bias, but one point about industry changing to use pytorch because of researchers already knowing it seems like wishful thinking. Unless

They can bite me as well. This a foreign nation exerting its will over our politics via economic control. The govt should make strides to curb this imo.

The thing is even if QA and testing is fine now as the business or domain needs evolve over the years just the fact the context has changed can lead that code to be a liability. I'm kind of tired from work so I hope I can make my point

Hey, I am really sorry I didn't see this earlier I have a bad habit of browsing not signed in so I rarely see replies to my comments. I think this was a great answer to my question and I really appreciate you taking the time to write u

This article begs the question of our conciousness not being a physical process which is cool I guess If your peddling thoughts from a dualist from over a century ago. I still have no reason however, not to believe our conciousness doesn&#x

You're seriously delusional. I've had largely great experiences as a developer and its largely a passion for me still. Sorry it wasnt a free meal ticket for you.

This article is kind of funny and mostly wishful thinking. I agree that the workers work in abhorrent conditions but the thought that this is what it will take to change those practices is flawed mainly because there is an endless stream of
