Honestly? Just master data structures, get competing offers at FB and Google, make 350-400k a year, invest heavily and aggressively, retire in 7 or 8 years

just start writing high data volume spark programs, you wont quite understand or remember why the configs and tuning params are what they are until you try.

Just take a look at the massive rise in quality of life across the world. Your alarmist post is bunk. Life is getting better for everyone all the time.

It's rigged but for the time being it works. So is it really that bad?

Personally, I think you are wrong. If you are an average engineer, you should be very afraid. But if you are exceptional, you will see your comp shoot through the roof in the coming years.

Get a job building ML systems, not one where you are writing queries (though they may be complex) for a business person.

I firmly believe this. If you arent brilliant, you arent writing real software, you are copying what other people are already doing. Any monkey can do that.

"LSD happens to be one of the safest recreational drugs" Purely anecdotal, but have you ever met someone that has taken large doses of LSD over the course of a few years? They are almost always permanently changed

Was the threat to the traditional American way of life really the reason they were made illegal? It seems more likely that it was due to the unknown and possibly dangerous nature of the drugs. As a society we have always outlawed drugs that

Quick question, how do you feel about a long term contract (never ending) at 125$ per hour. Assume highly in demand skills (ML, Big Data Architecture, stream processing) with 5 years experience in NYC/SF. Is that too low? Just right?

by corporateslave3 9y ago
Would you say that even highly payed contract should be avoided? By highly paid I mean between 300k-400k a year? Where the job is an hourly pay that is a never ending contract? Specifically in the financial industry?

In other words, you want an office drone with minimal intellectual curiosity who is docile, does what they are told, and works well with others.

"Whiteboards interviews are inadequate. I'd opt for time boxed (for a month?) trial employment." How is this even possible? People have to work full time jobs while interviewing.

Three reasons: 1.) The inherent mediocrity in large bureaucracies. They always turn mediocre. People inherently form factions within corporations and become politicians. This destroys the old culture and creates adverse incentives. 2.) Tech

You would be surprised. Deep learning usurped a ton of knowledge about SVMs and such, and then TensorFlow/Keras made it easy to write and deploy good models with little knowledge. Clearly its more complex than that, but this is true fo

Yeah its crazy, all these average single girls thinking they are better than the average single guys, until they hit mid to late twenties. Then they "settle" for someone they deemed undesirable for the previous few years.

by corporateslave3 9y ago
Yeah, its a trap generally. In theory your dating matches are limitless, in reality they are much more constrained. This is how the dating atmosphere in NYC generally works, a ton of people with too many mediocre options.
