> So standard question when terrible stories like this are posted: there are many HN members who work at FB. How do you deal with stories like this and continuing to work there? I’ve been interested in hearing a cogent response to this q

I also started my FAANG career with someone contacting me on LinkedIn. I hate LinkedIn, but have trouble letting go of being ‘discoverable’ should I need another job.

I use FBnofb and it allows me to block all the garbage on Facebook by not having an account and never visiting that dump. On a more serious note, I deleted my account several years ago. This after coming to the realization how much I was pa

I dislike the news feed but have gotten four of my last six jobs from being discovered on LinkedIn. I’d love to close my LinkedIn but I never know when I’ll be job searching again. I kind of wish there was an HN like job site that was widel

Fellow FAANG here. My WFH experience has been the opposite, but I do look forward to leaving the house for social activities of my choice outside of WFH. Even before COVID I invested in a height adjustable desk, ergo chair, adjustable led l

The best gift you can give your loved ones this holiday season is convincing them to get off Facebook. If you didn’t feel like leaving over the political misinformation and data privacy abuse, maybe it’s time to leave when the FBI wants to

This is shocking. Why do I need to have a recycle mode on a speaker? Oh because it’s a WiFi connected, smart speaker that collects and stores data on me. We recently read about Apple devices being bricked in the recycling process because of

Reminds me of a firm I worked for. They decided to adopt Google Drive for the team of about 20 employees. Every couple weeks an employee would mistake the synced folder for their local disk and rearrange files or delete files and then the f

A shift I've noticed in the USA, is I'll go to an electronics retailer, and the item I want isn't on the shelf. In it's place is a placard instructing me to order it online. My hope was to actually handle the item and se

In a decade plus of my career, four of my most significant jobs, including my current role have come from being sourced/recruited on LinkedIn. I hate being on any social networks, and I feel like LinkedIn has declined in quality over t

Agreed. I’d have been inclined to use some of the returned inheritance funds to figure out a way to give that person a headache in proportion to mine.

IMO, this was one of the more interesting releases at re:invent this year. It seems AWS is really making a move to deploy AWS outside of the Region. AWS Outposts let you have AWS on-prem, AWS Local Zones puts the AWS data plane closer to us

Then everyone requested an ergonomic height-adjustable desk and they had to move those door desks somewhere. Very frupid indeed. I wonder how many warehouses of door desks they have somewhere.
