Base salary of $200K or more is definitely achievable for senior (level 5 or higher) engineers at big name companies in SF. I have friends who recently changed jobs so I know this for certain. That said, the stock offers were excellent as w

I generally agree, but there are definitely exceptions. The most impressive I've seen is Haoyi Li parsing a decent chunk of Haskell using his FastParse library in ~10 minutes: https://youtu.be/mARO-qchsKM?t=2386

there was a lot of bold, revolutionary thinking in the early days of crypto, and definitely a lot of naivety. There still is, but the realities of the world have tempered it a bit. but yeah, basically.

This is cool, but might actually decrease attendance. I've been in some IMAX seats I definitely would not have bought if I'd known how acute the screen angle would be. I wonder if theaters will be interested.

Wow; I hadn't seen this Horowitz post til now. His attitude has no respect for his employee's personal agency at all. Thanks for writing this Bryan. Hopefully this will make a difference.
