I think you're severely underselling the Canadian market as someone else in Canada. I really like the quality of life that Vancouver provides, the pay is also pretty good (has improved a lot in the last ~2y), I got multiple offers as o

Do you have a bullet list of things people could dedicate 10 years to for inspiration?

Do you worry about the data being on Hetzner servers?

Django, Rails, Postgres...

Of course it isn't. Unless you think that hacker news somehow represents the software development market...?

Can you expand on what you mean by a "gifted" individual?

Do you mean Nomad?

That's so sad.

In my opinion, absolutely.

Yes it is. Having worked in both embedded system and computer graphics there's a lot of python flying around.

by aprdm 5y ago
Yes and Python is fast enough for many of those. It’s very rare that the speed of Python is an actual bottle neck that cannot be worked around and must be replaced in lieu of its effectiveness

Yes this is interesting. Taxes also eat much of your money after a certain point…

That depends. Not every industry or company has the margins of tech or a truck of VC money.

GitHub and shopify are written in RoR afaik, many millions of requests go through them just fine

What growth is expected for someone who has being VP of Engineering? That's as close as high as you can go, no? Or was it a small company with just you and a few others?

I’ve been interviewing recently and it surprised me the amount of companies offering Friday’s off in summer or having permanent 4d weeks.

Does that help with an exec of an arbitrary string from an input? Or a database open to the internet? Or OS level security issues?

I used it exactly once.

I think it's different because the embedded systems clients are usually not as deadline driven as the movie industry are. You have deliverables basically every week that you need to show to the client for approval, and, if not good eno

I think a reason it doesn’t as well is because the majority of the industry already uses it. Therefore as he says there isn’t too many opportunities for growth, it’s a small industry vfx all things considered.

It's really easy to do that wrongly... for example, you Q&A or integration tests database has the last back up of prod so that you can test with real data. Of course you shouldn't do that, but, it's very common out there.

I don't need people to agree with me. There's the USA salaries survey and whatnot that shows you're in the very top.

$200k is an absolutely great salary, congrats ! :)

Those numbers are crazy! I’m currently in what many consider their dream job and working very reasonable hours (less than 40/week) in a great team/company. I make good money but been really tempted by tech companies recently… can

Really good write up! I think the suite spot in a < 50 eng organization is either a monolithic or a microservice per domain (instead of per functionality) Once you have thousands of engineers, then you either need extreme discipline and

Lol, that sounds like Java in 2011... put an annotation on a function and it's a service :) SOAP and all that. Maybe they had something right! It did cause problems when users put something on a tight loop that was actually a remote ca
