The question is why is AWS a shining star for you even if all of those issues are addressed? Having AWS on your resume as a developer doesn’t set you apart from hundreds of thousands of other developers who were able to grind enough leetcod

I call it a “gravity problem”. I might not like or completely understand gravity. But it makes no sense to complain about it. I’m not going to jump out of a window on the 30th floor. If you want to make $150K+ straight out of college and

I am absolutely sure that the money you missed out on had a bigger affect on you than them missing out on hiring you. Every large tech company or any tech company that pays decent money requires preparing for coding interviews *if you are t

Source: Former AWS employee. For the most part Amazon Retail doesn’t run on AWS infrastructure and doesn’t use AWS services. I’m simplifying a little bit. But Amazon (the company) runs two sets of infrastructure “AWS” and “CDO” (or COE

If it were that big of deal, don’t you think Apple would have been forced to recall it and definitely couldn’t keep selling it for 3 years. True they did redo the antenna for the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4. But they never bothered to back port

Close enough. I missed 2 vesting periods. But the severance and rapidly having a job made up for one and I got refreshers my third year that I hadn’t counted on. I left debt free, sold my old home for exactly twice what I had built for 8

It was a nothingburger. Apple sold the same GSM iPhone 4 for three years with no design changes and nothing else was said about it three months later.

I worked at AWS and still have friends who work there. I don’t know any L5s who wouldn’t jump at a chance to leave if they even got a slightly worse offer than what they are making now. I know a few L6s and L7s that would stick around out

I work in consulting too - customer facing staff consultant and leading implementations. I did a 3.5 year stint at AWs Professional Services. I had no trouble getting full time job offers from 3rd party consulting companies within 2 weeks

And in any other country besides China, how many of the apps that most people use don’t have a dependency on Google Play Services APIs? Google has been moving much of what a western user considers “Android” out of the AOSP code since 2013.

Most people in the middle class can’t afford to put any decent chunk in their 401Ks let alone invest any meaningful amount above that. But funny enough, most of the people I know that do invest in individual stocks, bitcoin etc are people i

Making devices accessible cost pennies compared to their revenue and didn’t take any real courage. Come back to me when they stand by their convictions when it can cost them billions in tariffs

So now you’re going to list times when Biden sent armed forces into American cities, withheld funds passed by Congress, personally extorted companies to give him money and targeted conservative “non woke organizations” or spread propaganda

The laws are different when you work for the government. A private employee can fire you for something you said a lot easier than the government. https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/articles/free-speech-a...

First you have to get the interview. I don’t know how old you are. But the older you are (I’m 51) the harder it is to get mid level hands on keyboard roles. It’s a shit show out here right now. It’s actually worse than the dot com bust.

I would never buy a car that doesn’t have CarPlay integration. I’ve rented a Tesla enough times to know that their infotainment system is a reason not to get it.

The problem with those roles are that they are easily commoditizable and were even before AI. It’s also harder to stand out from the crowd if (the royal) you has as your only vector of competition is an ability to do coding interviews. I
