This series is great! You should seriously think about consolidating them into a book. Something I notice other engineers struggle with is how to properly assess performance, read heap snapshots, or even understand how to read a flamegraph

I always wondered if the rise of ds&a/leetcode style interviews often hurt these companies more than helped? You are definitely screening for a certain type of engineer when hiring this way, especially when you want to hire 10,000

How does public domain license compare to something like GPL? Isn't public domain better?

If it's a well known company, I've found sites like levels [1] to be very informative and accurate. Otherwise I always just ask in the initial calls, no reason to beat around the bush. If you know what you want, you can ask what t

Interesting! I missed that last time around. I do wonder how Adobe will fare with empowered governments in the EU, UK, and US that want to thwart these types of acquisitions for big tech. Frankly I hope they succeed too. Mergers are not goo

I bet Adobe would like to back out of the deal too, they paid an extreme premium before tech took a general nosedive. I doubt Figma is worth $20 billion in todays climate.

I understand, thank you for the apology. I wasn't trying to diss Svelte at all with my comment, my question is very sincere. I use Svelte for a few local apps on my home network (board game and a music playlist selectors) but I have a

Is there an actual list of what is being cut? It seems like it's mostly clothing and furniture (sans the Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials brands).

The Node foundation puts out maintenance cycles on their site: https://nodejs.dev/en/about/releases/ v16 had maintenance + development for 2+ years. Seems pretty good for an ecosystem that has a reputation of

Yeah I have a little personal Svelte app from the v3 days too, basically a simple form site that I use to choose boardgames during dinner parties. It still works locally, been meaning to update it which I think will be painless as well beca

Svelte 4 was recently released (like 2 months ago), and Svelte 5 is already being primed. I wonder if these types of messaging/marketing hurt adoption? If you're looking for something stable and you see large version changes, why

I was first introduced to Vim from a Jeffrey Way tutorial about HTML5 way back in 2010 or maybe 2008 when first learning about programming. Ever since then I've used Vim throughout my career, even somehow convincing others to use it to

You're banned from working on your own open source projects at Apple? Had no idea, disappointing if true. I could understand now talking about current work but if you have an open source project that's unrelated you can't pub

Might be an issue with your social class? I know plenty of poorer parents whose children aren't filled with a myriad of activities because the family simply can afford to pay them, the kids simply act like kids.

Do we live in the same city? The last few weeks has had multiple days over 90 degrees, with a very minor respite when it rains. We haven't even hit August yet (which is typically way hotter than July). Also FWIW, the entire New England

That's good to know, honestly surprised to read that NT had that many. I'd figured early versions wouldn't require that many people. Now knowing the Fuchsia numbers, I don't know if that's a signal to how productive

I don't think part time work in SWE is common at all. Especially at Google. The 400 number is likely including product owners, business analyst, designers, etc into those numbers not strictly being SWEs (happy to be proven wrong).

Similar arguments were made about AT&T and I think the country survived. Break them up, then use the precedent to break up every other big tech co. A competitive market is way more important than Google.

They may not owe anyone anything but over time these types of issues can cause a large reputation hit. If I was just searching online or trying to find out what various communities think about Fly.io and see several threads about major outa

How do you handle healthcare and retirement as a contractor? Many contracting shops I see offer very poor benefits. Might be looking at the wrong companies, but it seems like worse compensation than FTE.

Some of the most important software I use in my day to day work (neovim, git, alacritty, plus all the CLTs that assist me) are all created in distributed teams around the world. How do we know that saying in-person innovation isn't a p

My major issue with Spotify is that they keep changing the UX on me every week. I hate being part of some terrible a/b testing that I didn't consent too. They already have my money, why do they feel the need to tamper with my expe

Blind already has company reviews, they also have a recruiting service (hard to tell if it's a service or another job board) for companies too.

That's disappointing, I thought ChatGPT WAS using the API. I mean what's the point of paying if you don't get similar levels of quality?

I really enjoyed the Fullstack D3 book by Amelia Wattenberger: https://www.newline.co/fullstack-d3 I'd recommend the book over the video as it does more elaborate data visualizations.
