Don't trust social media. VC funded startups in general are a scheme to get the rich investors richer, the people who actually work on the start up (including founders) are very rarely going to do better than a person who worked as SWE

What about dynamic languages? Are they always collecting the stack and keeping it into some exception object that the exception can grab the data from at any time? And if that's the case wouldn't it always be slow regardless of ra

What's your opinion on Canada jurisdiction ?

New movies don’t use aws. Don’t believe the marketing . None of the big vfx studios uses the cloud as their main render farm, mostly for bursts .. it’s crazy expensive

IME that's only true if your services don't handle state, or if you have a very advanced system for rollbacks.

Yes it’s very common. If you’re into any sort of role where have to maintain a production facing service and it goes down there’s that Too.

That's not true in programming. I was 9-5 on 7 years there over multiple studios. My last studio (one of the most known ones) actually had 4d weeks. It is definitely true for VFX Artists. And you will definitely get a pay cut compared

Try to find work in visual effects, lots of interesting work and they’re on prems. Anyone with software background can get in !

Most projects have plenty of bad code, nobody cares, as long as it solves the problem.

Shopify, Basecamp and github sort of disagree with you.

sorry but 150k to 250k is definitely a big change. Allows to retire much earlier, buy a bigger house, etc. Went from 200 to 350 and it was incredible the difference it makes. My wife doesn't have a good job, and I don't have rich

I was. Was 5y in the company and thought about retiring there. Then another company in a different market but building a similar product offered me 2x the salary, with a potential to 3-4x it very easily. I couldn't say no. The work lif

Heheh company with 14 million LoC barely had tests :) I don’t know what kind of companies you worked on, but let me tell you that the code that runs the world comes from an era before tests, and some of it is too complicated to even be test

Hm. Ok. Tell it to my previous company running 12 million LoC of Python. It was easier to make changes there than in the 500k loc c++ system I maintained later. Language has nothing to do with success of large projects, it’s everything arou

Depending on your scale, things are really not that complicated. If you can run your company from a single machine, having two for redundancy, and two internet links for redundancy, will likely go a loooooooooong way until something bad hap

YES! We tried a big project in the cloud (many many many high end VMs), and Azure was SO unreliable. From BGP configs fuck ups to obscure bugs in their stack. Their support was also amazing in the beginning.. but after they hooked you up...

Maybe you should try a language where people get a lot of work done in the day to day ? E.g: Python, Go... It seems crazy to me someone who code in Scala, now loves Rust. Brains are really something else :)
