In my experience, most engineers won't even get the chance to work on something so impactful and cross team/org to land a promotion. Not their fault. Sometime, as everything in life, you are in the right place at the right time. Y

I am not sure about that. Java has been around for some time now, but any Java developer can easily read code written 20y ago. I find c++ syntax terse and hard to read. A good example is the well know boost library. Even back in the days wh

I agree with the string argument. I felt the same struggle, too many string types. It is hard to remember when to use what. I wish there were one string type to rule them all.

I worked on few projects in c++ many many years ago, so I don’t define myself as an expert in that language, but c++ nowadays scares me, looks like the language complexity have exploded and code looks like complex to me. All those templates

I wish an expressive language like Rust, but with a GC, so I don't have to think about borrow/checker and memory manager in general. I have tried to use Go but did not find appealing or ergonomic. I would choose Java/Kotlin o

Will Apple finally make up their mind? Most of the big tech are getting more and more work remote friendly. If they want to retain talents ... they must align with them. Otherwise they will continue to bleed engineers to FB, Google, etc ...

Less and less people are using FB .. perhaps IG and Whatsapp yes, although you have to consider that privacy regulations can only get more stringent over time. Will they go bankrupt ? I don't think so. Will they be able to grow at the

I think FAANG should be renamed to MAAG the only companies that will continue to dominate the tech industry at least of the next 2 decades ... Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google Everything else ... not so sure ...

I suspect/hope that many (socialist) political leaders around the globe are going to be forced by their supporter to re-asses their usage of Twitter.

I am glad I did not join them last year when I had the chance. Went for a FAANG instead. I see pure chaos for the foreseeable future.

Elon is no fit to own and run a social media company. Let’s remember the toxic tweet against Bernie https://twitter.com/sensanders/status/1459584250668331011 I will for sure delete my account.

If the data is publicly available then it should be legal to scrape it and use it. LinkedIn can decide, if they want, to put all the data behind login. Problem solved.

As soon as you have to import any investment data (who does not have at least $100 in S&P these days???) and you also have to file state taxes, then turbotax ends up begin expensive. I think I payed something like $300 or close to that.

I am close to be financially independent. But I wish I was already. I have so much stuff to do, traveling, spending time with my family. Not having to worry about your day-to-day will lift so much burden and bs. I just can't understand

Man you should enjoy your life. You have no idea how fortunate you are, and here you are feeling unhappy. I don't get it. People out there really struggle to get by day-by-day. I am sorry, but I can't feel sorry for you.

"Google Services generated $69.4 billion, or about 92% of total revenue, in Q4 FY 2021. Advertising revenue, at $61.2 billion, comprised 88% of the segment's revenue." Most of their money comes from Ads, they couldn't gi

I trust my judgement based on all the information I have gathered. Then I check with friends and people that I trust, certainly not the random dude on youtube that ads the best blender 2022.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that people are actually "influenced" by influencers. I have never trusted anyone and anything. When it comes to spend MY MONEY I do my own research, period.

Suffice to say I'd never join Meta. I don't use their platform, I don't like what they do, and most important I don't like their tech bro company culture.
