anything biden did (between 3 and 5 trillion extra), was after and on top of trumps spending. so if trumps 2.2 was bad, what do you think supercharging that was? it’s like i filled a bathtub 80% and left. and then you come and add 120% of i

what bothers me most is when politicians and corporations make policies based on these junk studies but no, we have to “trust the science” for example, if you create a study whose results show that diversity is good in some way, you’ll get

youtube is significantly worse other than maybe in stability/uptime. remember google tried to force that weird google plus login instead? and now it’s so corporatized/ad filled

i said effectively because the s isn’t really in reach for most. i mean even the x isn’t really

impressive but helps to only effectively have 3 models. obviously differnt if toyota could lump all sedan sales together. or all suv sales together

it’s defining “electrified” as hybrid or electric which is a bit misleading but even so, that’s insane. especially that 1/4 are teslas. people don’t feel lack of individuality buying the same car that everyone else has?

microservices make a lot of sense organizationally where each feature team can own their own feature service.

for me atleast that also came with experience. ie that would have been impossible in my first job search. But repeating the process of searching for jobs a few times over a decade, each time i’m preparing for interviews i’m able to build so

i agree but regarding your example about failing companies that you’ve previously had offers from: ive seen this as well. but it was a case of hubris where the person didn’t put in the work to prepare as hard the second time because of thei

Looking at the article, it seems all they looked at was whether the code worked or not. interviews also assess communication and thought process. and working code isn’t necessarily good code. also wonder if the people in the private room us

the comments on this thread just remind me how conventional in thinking most people in tech are with regards to politics. why is it we pride ourselves in thinking outside the box but everyone marches exactly down the line with the same poli
