That poor road markings can cause the self-driving system to fail does not instill confidence at all.

Damn, 260k and 300k? Why are these so high? Do you and your friend have some valuable speciality?

Seems almost too good to be true. Can anybody else share any similar successful "war stories"?

Isn't 150k a high salary for even the Bay Area?

Seriously tempted to print out the Pythonic NetworkElement code vs the Java style code and put it on my wall. Perfectly embodies why I love Python so much. A humbling reminder of how far I have to go to be even near this guy's level.

I've had a great track record with various Linux distros until I used the RHEL IBM edition. I've been plagued with problems and crashes on it. Don't know if they distributing a special OSX IBM edition or not.

Agreed. PyCharm makes my developer life so much better.... I've been converting people from Eclipse to IntelliJ/PyCharm left and right at work.

Node-RED is very impressive once you get the hang of it. You can do some very cool stuff entirely within Node-RED. Here is an HTTP chat server done entirely in Node-RED: http://flows.nodered.org/flow/62ae8ebebf117979bbc

Same here. It really wasn't that long ago that I was sticking with Python 2 and recommending to my managers that new projects be started with Python 2. (Yes, I know, I was part of the problem) These days, I have few reservations about

So I'm assuming you split the place with someone else? I imagine it is no trouble to find roommates out there, or am I wrong? Looks like I'd have to live with roommates if I moved out there.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you paying for rent? Been considering moving out there so trying to get a feel for things.

>Making $140k per year is the San Fran equivalent of minimum wage Is this really true? Seems far-fetched. Isn't that $20-30k higher than the Google base starting salary?

Never heard of Python Call Graph, will check it out. Having some background knowledge of how Python implements some of its types can also be useful when debugging performance issues. For instance, knowing that the Python list type is implem

Anyway you guys could open source your QLint tool?

This is all great stuff. It pains me how difficult it has been to get my org to resemble anything remotely close to this. There is simply too much resistance to change here. Being a more junior employee myself has made it even more difficul

I've very curious what the general "impression" regarding IBM is around HN? They are not discussed much around here.

Same. My average productivity is better and my sleep is much improved. Even if I only had one cup early in the morning, my sleep would still be disrupted. But unfortunately I have relapsed and am drinking a coffee right now...

Can anyone provide some details on what all I should ask about when evaluating an offer from a startup company? I really have no clue where to begin.

Never seen someone do that. That's pretty bad. I was more defending being a pedant about whatever coding standards your team agrees upon rather than any specific PEP-8 standard. It is no problem to increase PyLint's line length li

When it comes to maintaining standards in a code base, one needs to be a pedant.

Wow, this is slick! Would love to use this to visualize a min/max algorithm. A nice way to demonstrate graph algorithms, as you have already shown!

I really like the "The Office" chat usage example. That was a nice touch.

Can HN recommend any good neural net tutorials? (Preferably in Python)

Very excited to participate. I loved the Google AI challenges and have been eager to do another AI contest. I just wish there were more AI contests out there, they are some of the most fun I have programming.

I don't necessarily disagree. However, it sounded like OP was already doing a lot to get intellectual stimulation outside of work. He specifically mentioned not learning much on the job any more so that's why I recommended looking
