I like how juniors are 10-12+ years lol This may be true, but again these are outliers - most people here are not cranking down 400K. Netflix hires the best of the best so these people are the top 10% of engineers probably... Not the avg

Its not true. Most engineers are in the 150-200K range at the most. It is true that some companies like Netflix do pay much more, but Netflix goes for the best of the best. This is the not the majority of engineers. So realistically if y

Exactly - its nothing to fear if you are good manager. If the person is screwing around you will find out quickly when projects slip over and over.

I dont think he is trolling, age discrimination is just something that is hard to prove. Case in point - as soon as I removed my graduation dates from my resume I started getting more initial calls. Previously I would hear nothing - i assu

Yep - biggest key is stay current. Change to new langs / systems if needed so you can stay in the "the most desirable" camp. Don't marry yourself to a technology. This is especially critical IME as you get over 40. I

Yep - Fedora 27 on (older) T470 ... perfect. No issues with sleep or anything. -Batt life --> TLP + powertop; I consume 5-6 watts idle with this setup

I agree its memorization, but the scenario questions that have compound answers are in there too to get beyond memorization. I'd say the progression of difficulty is Dev (lots of memorization and T/F) --> Solutions Arch --&gt

Buying AMD is an option if they really need x86... either short term or long term.

Agreed. This would also reduce mid/large enterprise worries regarding adoption (or investigating the tech for possible adoption). Being on the upgrade train several times a year is too probably much for them...

Another interesting factoid I gathered from this is the "avoid ageism" tip about removing dates from graduation + only list last 10 years of job experience. I've always suspected it, but this supports it as a reality. Sad r

Another (old) method that is known to work is injecting low levels (say TRT levels or slightly less) which shutdowns endogenous testosterone production which also shuts down sperm production. This gets you @ next to zero sperm levels but

Well, I think they have, but there is a vested interest in keeping the housing prices high. And as much as I hate it, I do understand it. CA asked for this problem and now it will be hard to reverse. What would you do if you had millions

by bproven 9y ago
well, mainly the problem is the city doesn't prepare for it. For example, not keeping up with housing demand, public transit demand etc. THEN you get the bay area ;)

probably means if TF has a provider for your infra (vmware, aws, azure, etc). Check the hashicorp website docs and see how well supported the provider is for your infra of choice https://www.terraform.io/docs/provider

For TF, I found it easy to work with and also cloud agnostic (nice bonus). So you only have to learn one tool instead of one for each cloud provider (Azure's Resource templates , AWS's CloudFormation, etc). Also it seems to have

A good strategy is to use both (these are complementary tools) - one is stronger for config management (Ansible), the other for provisioning infrastructure (TF). Build and manage the infra itself (instances, security groups, VPCs etc) wi

lucky! I grabbed a refurb T470, added an SSD + high cap battery. Runs Fedora like a charm! I did pay 1/3 of the price of a T480s but I do wish I had those extra 2 cores!!

I use duplicity + B2 on my Fedora laptop. It works very well. I even proved out the restore when I accidentally borked my .profile file the other day ;)

Mainly b/c there are no real downsides/penalties to leaking data (or PII) - you say "sorry" and just move on. Sometimes with an increased stock price - see Equifax :(

I'm not a fan (at all) of the NIMBYism but I do understand it. What would you do if you had millions of dollars tied up in your home? If your home was your only asset of value? Especially if you bought a home in the last few years at
