From all the FAANGMULA companies, only Apple and Facebook haven't had layoffs during a recession. Yes, even Microsoft had some layoffs back in 2008-2009, and Google had some 'stealth' closures. Also they did a hire freeze as

Source? From what I see, is that 70% spend their money after 5 years, but don't just become 'homeless' / destitute. This seems some kind of overblown myth. The other study I found: "Statistically, 1% of lottery win

Singleton became the 'enemy' during the 'Dependency Injection' craze, spawned in the Java enterprise environment. Singletons are a tool, that at some point you just can't avoid. We can discuss the way to create or

I have build a notification sending service / gateway, and it is a pain to do. Just because Apple has no knowledge how to do proper web based apis. For small apps, that's another service to build and maintain. Airship serves wel

No, he is wrong. Europe was a much harder target. They did well on cities on the Paeonian plains, where it was their natural terrain, but did not do well on European mountainous terrain. They couldn't even take Dubrovnik, let alone Co

Yeah... the whole region is dotted with castles. They did really well on ravaging and ransacking cities that were on plains, or close to larger fields. Hungary and Serbia are part of the the Panioan Plane, which is open terrain and perfe

The Mongolians did great on fields and plains until they reached mountains and tougher terrain. Their tactics were great for open terrain where you could maneuver with horses. Not so great when you have to deal with mountains. They did gre

No its not. Even Google has to change its hiring practices and move away with the current system, as it is creating a lot of noise. (i.e. hiring people that are good at leetcode, while great engineers are being left out just because they do

The Engineering wage raises during 2010-2014 are a huge part due to Facebook back then entering a biding war for talent, which google had to counter which raised comps for everyone. Also, after 2015 you had more companies hitting the fray

Yep... NYC as well. I remember when I was looking to buy a place back in 2014. I saw one I liked in Brooklyn, and asked the agent to see it. He said that there were already two all cash offers, and one was over price. I said: who buys the

Many (not all though), of their best engineers and designers have left after the IPO, that's why. So, a lot of people that made it a success initially have moved on. They don't pay super well, so the new people that came later on

So, Poland is giving the Jets to the US, and they are hosted in a German airfield, and probably be delivered to Ukraine from there. If Russia wants to retribute, it will have to attack the US and Germany, which it ends up in ww3 territory.

by ardit33 5y ago
Lets be honest, the US is much more proactive at defending. Look at Germany, how reluctant was to even start doing sanctions or distribute arms. The eastern countries see this, and they just don't trust Germany will have their back.

Stripe has a 'amazon' like quality of environment. If you think amazon is a great place to work, then it might be your cup of tea.

If he is at a team of 20-30 people, that's an easy figure to defend. But when stripe has over 800 engineers (maybe 400 at the time he made that tweet), that seems some kind of major exaggeration.

That's what code reviews are for. You don't need pair programing for that. Places like google go even beyond by having a 'readibility' pass score for the code to be able to ship. Pair programing is something from the e

On the other hand Causcescu, and Milosevic ended up in a coup/mass revolt, and both dead.... (one by his own people, the other awaiting sentencing on a criminal tribunal) So, plenty of counterexamples as well.
