Yep, I mistyped. Amazon MWS doesn't have a staging/sandbox environment that's available for third party developers to test on.

Same here in e-commerce. We end up testing in production environments with an element somewhere that's in a development environment that can be tracked and actively watched. Amazon notoriously does not have a production environment,

Since that class I've reached the conclusion that school is not the best way to learn concepts and materials but to learn how to work a bureaucratic organization to reach your own end goal (whether it's a job, ticket to the middle

Interesting, I've never met or encountered someone from the Navajo Nation so that's good to know! I always wondered how it was resolved there.

I like A) simply because sometime during college I became a terrible test taker. I realized that I'm very good at projects and actually understanding the concepts, but I couldn't articulate that in the traditional exam or problem

Fun example about lazy teaching: Our undergrad's HKN chapter kept a test bank of past exams in Physics, CS, etc. When I was studying for my Physics final I went back to past midterms and realized the professor recycled questions from p

Hard to say. Those in Arizona not in the Navajo nation wouldn't agree with you since they're still on MST. I usually say "PT/MT/CT/ET" for those not in the list of stateside exceptions since it just remove

Maybe that's why places like SoulCycle, Barry's Bootcamp, or yoga studios have also sprung up. People do want connection, just not in the way it was before.

I've read that the decline of religion also plays a role here. Aside from the religious aspect, the sense of community and regularity you get meeting the same people on a regular basis is lost. It's kind of the mix of a loss of &q

Is this why some orgs have "sales engineers?" People who can pick up the nuances of a client's question whether a company can actually do feature X?

My dad always said it succinctly: software no one uses is a piece of shit. Build things that someone can immediately use.

Until an older relative uses that same group for something completely unrelated.

Serious question, and maybe this is just based on the people I've met: I've been hearing lots of business owners complaining about California's labor laws getting increasingly hostile which leads companies to relocate or move

Does this mean Anchorage's airport is going to get increased traffic again? I'd imagine planes today have the range to not need a stopover compared to the Cold War era.

There’s a CRM of some sort that sends emails I’ve received that even mentions a nearby restaurant or point of interest in its emails. It’s trying so hard to be personal it’s laughable.

Doesn't this work like Harvard/Yale/Princeton/etc admissions, where if they selected a completely different set of applicants everyone there would just as likely be qualified and deserving of attending? I swear sometimes

I've seen this kind of position in a lot of startups/tech companies ("Growth Manager", whatever that means). To me, it sounds like a product marketing position.

I don't think EDI itself is too complex or anything--after working with several REST/SOAP servers, EDI is just another standard you have to account for. Parsing 850s or generating 810s is just the name of the game. What makes it

I think it's a mix of language and company structure. We are a bilingual company where people speak a mix of Mandarin and English, and sometimes it's just too much of a pain to communicate to someone in English in text when you&#x

I'll give you an anecdote for my company (we're a software firm with developers, support staff, and sales reps): We offered hybrid and remote options to all of our employees once lockdowns ended. All of them (except for one) wante

I think up until recently I had a different mentality than what you're describing, where pay was second, but the type of work was more important. I always assumed that so long as I was satisfied with the projects, coworkers, and compan

I demanded a minimum compensation amount to a recruiter once at a FAANG company, something really outrageous even for FAANG. They ended up giving me non-answers saying that I still needed to interview and determine what my SWE level was goi

We moved our company's support call system to Microsoft Teams when lockdowns were happening, and even that was affected by the AWS outage (along with our SaaS product hosted on AWS). It turned out our call center supplier had something

Wasn't there news about how as a virus mutates over time it becomes less severe, but more transmissible? Something about where the virus just wants its host to live long enough to transmit the virus to someone else so it can continue p

By select handsets, I assume any big name handset, e.g. iPhone, Pixel, Galaxy, would be allowed, but a no-name handset wouldn't be allowed? Isn't this similar to the pre-iPhone days, when if you brought an overseas GSM phone you h

It seemed strange that T-Mobile would have a CDMA network, until you remembered that it came from Sprint. This seems like good news. I'm glad that starting with LTE all the carriers started agreeing on a single platform with SIM cards.

The reason was that the GOP was allegedly looking for an excuse to close the borders and further their anti-immigration agenda, and used the pandemic as an excuse. "The president’s chief adviser on immigration, Stephen Miller, had long
