   Well it's annoying for we rubberneckers, but presumably not for no reason. If your business literally only caters to people from Texas, why not decrease potential problem/attack/whatever vectors by dropping all other traffic

   I’m sorry but as a native speaker your phrasing is awkward and a pain to parse. Unpack isn’t synonym for ‘uncover’ and the rest was equally clumsy. The “if the rules didn’t stop me I’d give you the finger, you imbecile” tact is a little i

   You won’t get better than Levels in terms of volume of data by going ad hoc. It has city filters that you can use at least for London. IME you can get a salary almost as good as in the US if you’re in London. Even at non-FAANG. People wi

   I don’t recall ever saying it wasn’t work, so I’m not sure why you’ve taken the discussion in that direction. It is work, it’s just not the cynical exploitation that’s being implied. The intent is that both employer and candidate mutually

   I think the ‘free work’ idea is just a misapplication of a trend from another context. It’s a relatively recent thing to call out unpaid work on social media. The bar that runs entirely on trial shifts. The media giant running unpaid inte

   I’ve never had a candidate do the take home and come back with some significant angle on it we’d never thought of before. The value of the ‘free work’ to the company is the same as the value it has to you; it lets them evaluate you. Some c

   You can just think of Kafka as a kind of pipe, specifically for real time data (think little messages that tell you an event happened). It takes this data from anything that produces it and moves it to anything that you want to consume tha

   Big Data has become a bit of a nebulous term. It’s mostly used by/for business types as a marketing buzzword in my experience. But in principle it just means utilizing data at a scale difficult to handle for traditional tools or appro

   Part of the problem is these platforms start out with a core service but soon expand to include all sorts of stuff. Snowflake/BigQuery/RedShift. Think of them as databases that deal with a ton of semi structured data and are opti

    AWS support is pretty great in my experience. That’s with a paid plan, but I consider it great even for a paid plan. Typically instant chat with someone who can usually fix it is a game changer. I think it’s a little unreasonable to expec

    Anti-spam laws mean you can’t send unsolicited marketing to a personal email, but can to a work one. Hence the qualifier. You can put your personal email. It just means they’ll have an out if you decide to report them, because you represe
