I've worked for 4 companies in the U.S. and they only sent Employment offers/letters/agreements that I had to sign. Didn't see the word contract in any of them.

You're right. But at least you would have enough proof to seriously damage their reputation in case they change the terms in the letter. I'd like to believe they would care about that, especially in tech where everybody is struggl

If you get to the point you get an offer, always make sure to get that in the contract. I was working remotely for a company that went through some re-org and ended up with a different manager who wasn't very excited about having remot

Also, I would think most people actually do care they are being recorded on CCTV but there's not much they can do about it. It's always an eerie feeling knowing you are being recorded.

I think people that have issues scaling any modern distributed data stack are because a) Don't have experts or b) Bad practices/stretching the use case. I worked on a project once where the ES cluster performance was degrading bec

Seems like you are not aware of the kind of problems they solve. Systems engineers have been writing generic programming code for years to build databases, message queues, file systems, etc where you do need data structures that support arb

I highly recommend checking out the Type Parameters Proposal[1]. It's surprisingly easy to digest and has more realistic and complex examples than the quickstart guide or any other blog post out there. [1] https://go.googles

I know a side-effect of several antidepressants is low libido. I have no clue if a doctor would prescribe it for that though.

Not really? I mean I would never say "let me know when computer can do X" when X is something that doesn't require too much creativity and imagination. Like, a computer composing music, doesn't impress me too much becaus

My bet would be that it will never happen in a reasonable time frame. And also by that logic, writing that "documentation/spec" would just mean learning a new programming language the AI engine can parse making it as useful a

Better the devil you know. Many companies like to hire people that worked at other big tech companies before instead of a small company that might be totally different.

Many people say this. But the reality is that solving 100 LC questions and actually understand the solution enough to solve a variation of the problem is a lot of work. Especially if you are working full-time. I wouldn't call that &quo

Very interesting! Do you know if this book also talks about the basics of distributed file systems or is it only for single machine?

True. Olympic medallist Tony Jeffries made a video about this a couple of days ago[1]. Even if you become pro, chances are you won't be making any significant money. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiqJh0oG9dM

Nobody should stress out too much about not getting a name right. But it's also not ok to not care at all and just go around butchering names without ever asking the proper way or even worse, ask for a nickname because they can't

I find odd so many people complaining about having too many alternatives for streaming systems. If you are not an advanced user of these systems of course you won't be able to choose the right one and it won't be your job anyways.
