100 years ago, NYC already had 20-story buildings. Cities built longer ago tend to sprawl LESS because most people got around most of the time on foot. Most of LA (by square mileage) was built up since the 1950s (later than the Empire State

Well, what sorts of things would affect whether you’d be interested in the position? Some examples might be a description of the team (size, composition); examples of projects you’d be working on; the manager’s personal philosophy; growth o

When I was in school we learned assembly using a “toy” assembly language - that is, one not tied to any real world architecture and deliberately designed to be easy for students to work with.

Product managers are valuable to have involved in product planning and design and in big picture acceptance testing, but they shouldn’t be gatekeepers. If you can, create a policy that prevents them from blocking deployment. If you can’t do

I see nothing unethical about that, but there are legal considerations. (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.) If you’re using existing code, they may still have a stake in the IP. You may need to make sure they eithe

Only if you never have to explain that “even though it looks like we shouldn’t have to frobnicate the Foo, we do here because otherwise we’ll run into a race condition with Bar due to a bug in the core Baz API”

Most of the startups and small companies I’ve worked for hired many more interns for non-tech positions than for technical ones. Non-technical departments are at least as under-resourced as technical ones and just as desperate to have more

That’s an example where there is huge overlap between the distributions. Yes, men are taller than women on average. No, for the most part you can’t tell a person’s gender from their height, especially within 2 standard deviations of the med

Of course this list is for the person who does end up working there. What saddens me is that those places exist at all and are so common that instead of just avoiding them, women are making lists about how to deal with them.

That a post like this even exists saddens me. Maybe it’s easier to accomplish this outside the Valley, but despite being a woman engineer I’ve never had to explicitly choose any of these positions. Why not? Because I’ve always worked places

Because 50 years ago it was totally normal for 8 year olds to be on their own for a few hours after the school bus dropped them off and for 5 year olds to be supervise only by their slightly older siblings. Because 100 years ago it was norm

I use exactly three productivity systems. Jira for anything involving code. Trello for collaboration on bigger picture topics. And a personal to-do tracker. Tools don’t solve productivity problems. Systems do. Figure out your system and the

Some of the big ones go against the grain of the American suburban ethos: Live somewhere where you don’t have to drive at all. Don’t fly on airplanes. Choose multi-family housing with central heating and air, the larger the building the bet

Last I looked at Denver-Boulder (maybe 10 years ago), the software jobs there were almost exclusively on the Microsoft stack. Has that changed?

I’ve set up automated monthly buys exactly like that in the past using Schwab. It was very easy. Though as int_0 points out, some funds have minimum purchase amounts. The robo-advisors will let you do monthly automated investments but gener

They’ve replaced the meter-per-space with a single digital meter per block. And that’s also only there in particularly commercially oriented areas, not in residential areas. Though I personally agree with the argument that we should be char

Have you asked for a reason for this limitation? For instance, it could be something as simple as undergrad programs providing academic credit for internships, but masters programs not: which affects the employer’s obligation to pay the i
