I think it's not as clear cut as it sounds regarding "they will be right to do it". That depends on reference frame. Sure, the tobacco industry is "right" from the angle of their personal riches to push something th

1. Do the thing they pay you to do, keep your head down and watch the company light money on fire. Bonus points if after the project is inevitably late, you step in to "help" and save the day. 2. Start a consultancy company and ov

Think of drivetrain as all the magic that happens between power generation and what your wheels do. You have can the same batteries (or engines) in a car and get widely different driving dynamics. How does it put power down to the wheels? E

I'd love to hear the perspective of current or former employees of Netflix. At some point, they decided that an IC career ladder was important and instituted it. Management always had a ladder so that's not new. What changed?

Context is still relevant though. "Highly Scalable" means something different if you're working on core AWS infra vs an app to be used by 100k people at the same time for instance. I'd expect the interviewer to engage an
