It is more about being unblocked than however long it takes for the PR to be merged in even if it is really fast. It is not always possible to pair/mod on a change. Getting folks to quickly review PRs is difficult as doing so breaks th

There is a tradeoff... smaller, digestible PRs result in thorougher and faster reviews but it gives up the "1000 feet view" of the larger feature as far as the reviewer is concerned. Large PRs preserve the larger "1000 feet v

I do stacked PRs at work, they work great until someone suggests an invasive change in a PR lower down in the stack. Does anyone have ideas on how to deal with merge conflicts in this type of flow? For example let's say I have the foll

Well AppleTV shows tend to get pretty good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, tv critics certainly aren't the "hacker news crowd". I do agree that AppleTV's content is targeted to be more niche than the much more broader conten

From where I see it Apple TV is trying to be to streaming services as HBO was to broadcast/cable network in the pre-streaming era. Back then, broadcast/cable networks would crank out shows like a lot of streaming services are doin

What Netflix needs is pilot episodes instead of straight to series orders. Some of the shows that get greenlit and get minimum one season are so bad that if they had any kind of pilot/quality control process they'd never make it o

Another advantage of tinygo is that unlike "Go proper" FFI with C code is blazingly fast, which makes it a reasonable option for inter-oping with C-library- whereas use of Cgo is actively discouraged in "Go proper" due t

These kind of posts is exactly why the WHO naming scheme for viruses discourages naming viruses after animals, places, people or landmarks. Best case it can cause a misunderstanding, worst case lead to people to actively arrive at wrong con

Not true... it is much easier for an American to move to Canada (and vice verse) due to the TN Visa. Essentially no process or redtape, all you need is an job offer in one of the qualifying professions (Software Engineering is one of them)

I had no idea Coinbase was paying so much. Even most of FAANG doesn't pay that much. My total comp when I was at AMZN after 5 years at the company circa 2019 came no way near 500k, and this was was with great reviews from both my manag

One thing I appreciate Netflix for is atleast they are willing to do the bare minimum and give me 720p on Linux. I am also an Amazon Prime subscriber but Amazon is literally forcing me to pirate their shows because they refuse to serve more

A lot of it is cargo-culting based on comments of the go-team members and applying the advice of go team members as a blanket as opposed to applying it more surgically in the context of your application. For example I used to get a lot of p
