Very well explained! Would love to know if you folks are hiring SWEs

I wish the solutions to the problems in this book were available somewhere.

how did you conclude that? Also, why is it bad to have common runtime dependencies between two services? Unless you mean a shared service.

Could you expand and explain why you think so (I do understand it’s a novel idea).

Wonder if he's able to code. I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) and work at a FANG. Everyday and every line of code is a challenge. Planning to push through for a few more years before I can find a new career where I don't haav

Stupid question, but is there an SLO/SLA around the max delay and bandwidth in the ordered case?

For a lay person, could someone please explain how the kind of endurance runs he does are fundamentally different from the paved-road marathons Kipchoge wins? If anything, he has an edge and should be able to master the paved ones too due t

Orthogonal question, what happened to you guys? At one point you were the hottest start up on the block every ICPC competitive brogrammer wanted to get into and then you just fell off the radar..

Aren't these abstractions often so complex, company-specific and leaky that most companies are better off building their own in-house solutions? Atleast that's what I've seen at most FAANG companies but then again they'r

Wonder if the Chinese government will retaliate and ban US companies like Tesla or Apple from selling goods there unless they fork over ownership to Alibaba, haha.

That sounds like a pretty relaxed schedule. What do you do for work if you don’t mind sharing?

Whoa is this Paul Marks from Purdue? Haha, long time, I miss the Dtella days!

Pichai was never a SWE. He's an MBA with an undergrad in metallurgy.

And FWIW, Amazon isn’t a typical prestigious company. FNG are different compared to it.

Is there anyway individuals like myself can invest a large amount (say $200k) in firms like this at the IPO offering price?

Hah, this finally hammers the nail in the coffin that Google has truly lost its way under Sundar. Any bets as to how long it’ll be before this is shuttered like Wave? Meanwhile Slack, Zoom etc have whizzed past Google. Heck, even Microsoft

What a great ad for the Biden campaign.

Curious what happens to options that are yet to vest when a company gets acquired like this? I had a potential offer from them and I'll be losing some sleep tonight :(

I hope you’ll still pay your taxes though!

Will you guys please stop with the Soros bashing? There's literally no basis for all the BS being spewed about a self-made man like that.

The US’s strength lies in the scores of bright immigrants who come to the universities here to study and later join the work force. Keep treating them like shit and competition will soon step into that role.

Oh please stop blaming India for every one of your software fuckups. This incident is an aircraft design flaw that literally has nothing to do with outsourcing.

Great read, so a key takeway would be to make sure to prime the connection pool and also re-use it. Isn't re-using goroutines a bit of an anti-pattern though?

Usually, H1-Bs aren’t supposed to work on core pieces like aircraft design software and such. This stuff is sensitive and subject to US laws. I know this because I interned at a similar defense company and most H1-Bs were limited to back-of

Unpopular opinion, but had this happened at a company that hired H1-Bs, people would’ve jumped on the incompetent immigrants band-wagon immediately. This here is a fine example of the classic American work ethic devolving into sheer lazines

You're conflating CosmosDB and Cosmos (which has been publicly released as Azure Data lake Analytics and botched imo).

Yup Boeing has lost its way and is another typical bureaucratic hell hole of a company like IBM. I’ve heard horror stories about the 787 development process as well.

The AMAs I enjoyed the most were by Jerry Seinfeld.

What would be some reasonably priced stocks you could buy today and hold onto for the next 15-20 years? I'm thinking TSLA or may be AMZN too

Word of advice, never work for Amazon. Out of the FANGs, it is quite easily the sleaziest place to work. As someone who worked there, I can believe OPs side of the story. At this point, most of the people who tolerate working there are inde
