I see doctors as being more stable in later career than engineering. I don't really have any data for it; that's just my gut impression. Also you can be a doctor anywhere. Being an engineer in tech feels like you're geographi

Having personally been a couple of city council/planning commissions meeting for a few SV cities, I can tell you the fight isn't always that effective. And the argument against aren't about money, it's about traffic, qua

The asking price is not expect selling price. Things have changed in SV. I don't know if it is the higher interest rates or something else, but the market has cooled off quite a bit in the last 2-3 months. I bet you can find houses ver

What can a homeowner do to keep housing prices low? The only thing a homeowner can do is fight new development, but that isn't the only driver of cost. And depending on the area, fighting new development may not be all that effective.

Yeah I think this is problem with characterizations of "but this branch is telling lies." It's not; running tests reveals the state of the branch. And the coder also might have some idea of far away that branch is from mergin

If I understand this correctly, it seems like they are only doing CI/CD on the master/main branch. The question is why don't they test the feature branches in the same way as master/main? Assuming all their testing is pa

Depends on the relationship/partner goals. There are people looking for more short term situations which will probably keep them on the site. But yeah for those interested in more long term relationships, that's what happens. I ca

Oh yeah I'm not saying the model is great, but if someone wants to discount the 1 to 4.3 ratio, that's the estimate I'd throw out there. And if we take in the half rural estimate, that'd already put it at 1 to 1 today (w

While I don't have solid economic numbers (good luck with that in China), if I had a to guess it would make that ratio still one American to two Chinese. Here's a model that I'll use to back up that idea: Top 5 US CSAs: NY, L

Do you encounter a lot of frustrated/unhappy older engineers? It's worth analyzing why they plateaued (or why do you think they have). If they gave up on learning, well that's a sad, but good explanation. If they found themse

IME if you are going to product for the "money", I think in the long run you're more likely to be disappointed than hit VP of Product. There's just fewer spots in product vs engineering. I think it's much more drive

If I get the idea behind it, we're going to eliminate/reduce parking requirements and give a density bonus. And the primary way this will be feasible is if (more) people take transit. Then the thing about SB827 that doesn't m

I've spoken to tech workers from Beijing and my impression from them is the cost to purchase homes was on par (if not higher) than SV (and Seattle). Is rent that much cheaper?

I keep hearing the foreign money story, but I can't really find much evidence of it. (I'm currently in SV; touring properties and talking to RE agents nearly every weekend.) I'm not saying it's 0% of the transactions, bu

1. Keep talking to people who've finished projects. Eventually you'll get to people who recommend their GC. 2. If you've run out of people to chat up, try going to your city's build permits department and see which build

California also has Proposition 60 (the property tax one, not the porn one) and Proposition 90 [0]. These allow a one-time transfer of the base year property tax values within the same county (and between some counties) for homeowners over
