He was saying that the CEO of Reddit is acting like a child, not that one of the authors is the son of a CEO.

I expected so much better from NPR. This was absurdly lazy journalism.

If they wanted to work with third-party apps they could have charged reasonable rates for API access and could have offered a reasonable transition time. They gave them one month to transition their whole business onto a new model to make t

This is lazy journalism at its worst. They essentially published a Reddit press release.

It sounds like they were going via an agent of some sort, not calling her personal phone or showing up at her door.

When hiring for technical teams, especially in more junior roles, I value someone with good social skills over someone with high technical skills. Technical skills are much easier to teach than social skills.

Yeah and even getting into FAANG is often about gaming the interview system anyway. I don’t think FAANG really manages to select the top 1% of hard workers.

I’m a former pro musician. I’m a drummer so lol I don’t have perfect pitch, but I met a few folks who did. Having true perfect pitch sounds awful honestly. The world is constantly out of tune and it takes effort to ignore it. I knew many mo

Tech in SF causing massive inequality in the city combined with structural American problems is how SF got where it is today though. Moving tech somewhere else (Austin seems to be next) will just result in a similar situation.

I often hear people use SLA and SLO interchangeably. Very annoying having to clarify.

Speed limits are 100% political. They aren’t based on engineering. You always have cops saying “speed was a factor in this collision” and “everyone just needs to slow down to be safe.” But the reality is that accidents don’t happen from hig

I have the same problem. I play it a lot less than some other games simply because it is so addictive. My pitch to people is “if you ever wanted to play a game where your colony’s economy can be built around farming illegal drugs and turnin

If you’re considering it for next year then get on a wait list now. Where I live the Ioniq 5 wait times are 2-3 years.

This feels very similar to how Stephen King talks about writing books. He has a set number of words to hit each day and seems to hit it almost every day. Definitely a chore as opposed to a burst of creative passion at that point.

I’m waiting for recruitment departments for big companies to learn about moneyball. Currently the approach is “well we lost someone with 10 years of experience _at our company_ I guess we’ll replace them with some with 10 years of experienc

Calling Shopify a Canadian Tech Startup is really getting old. At 10k+ employees the term “startup” should really stop being applied to it. It is really big, and many of its execs are from huge American banks. So even “Canadian” may soon ce

The point about society-level threats paying better than Silicon Valley is a good one. I often look around in the tech industry as a programmer and wish I could be paid well to do something that actually matters, instead of just keeping kid

This has already been mentioned, but I can’t recommend CS50 highly enough. It literally changed my life. I was doing a music degree and ran into CS50 on Reddit somewhere and decided to give it a shot. Long story short I ended up getting a C

My experience was the opposite. I went in with absolutely no programming experience. It took me a week to figure out how to do the first problem set (boy are loops ever amazing). CS50 got me interested enough in programming to pursue it as

Just because they’re Canadian doesn’t mean they’ll be Nortel. Nortel had one money making division and a bunch of money losing ones. Gross mismanagement ended them. Shopify looks very different than Nortel (or Blackberry) did.

Transplants exist in all universal healthcare systems around the world. Due to the scarcity of donor organs and the cost, candidates for transplantation are heavily scrutinized to make sure the organ is used in the best way possible. In rel

Transplantation of organs from animals into humans has been tried in the past. Because of that, we know what full on rejection of non-human organs looks like. It sounds like this was actually quite successful in that the immune system didn’

Well they did solve the real world problem of how to make payments for hostages and ransomware. Not sure crypto has solved much else though.
