Google pays new grads like 180 and they’re pretty much the top of the industry in terms of pay scale. Throwing hyperbole in just undercuts the point they were trying to make.

Why not both? Why are these things supposed to be mutually exclusive?

This is the thing that has always bugged me about cryptocurrency - people are only passionate about it because they want to make more traditional currency with it. Then they adopt this "decentralized" rhetoric. It's always fe

Also, it's the first social platform I've seen that has solved the new user growth problem - every user's first few videos are guaranteed hundreds of views no matter what. So good content naturally rises without having to be

TikTok really is incredible. I don't do much in the way of social media, but it's better than any other big app I've ever used. The other really cool use I've seen of this style of stitching is emergent songs. Here'

Pair programming is great! When you click with the person you're paired with. When you're with someone who you don't like/is defensive, it's terrible.

This is one of the many reasons that adding screens to cars has been such a failure. All these carmakers were deluded and couldn’t even build custom systems that were pleasant to use, much less secure. The problem is only partially solved b

This is my thing about it - I always hear people complaining about Chrome being a memory hog, but it never feels slow to me. I'm writing this with 15 tabs open and it's not even a worry. I only have 16gb in my laptop too.

I'm 29 and the amount of anxiety I read about in programming as a profession is staggering. All the people trying to get into it worried that they're not cut out for it, only for 10 years later to be worried that they're agin

It's important to note that the content he writes on his site really is next level stuff. I would guess that's really the magical ingredient to building a following with this kind of content in 2021. None of his posts feel like ph

Most regular consumers don't have access to those kind of car auctions - they're for dealerships. I also think they get bought in batches then shipping is paid for in one sum. It's not accessible to end customers. These aucti

The insistence on comparing going into an office to jail that I see all over this thread really bothers me. This is such an extremely privileged viewpoint. When you're a minimum wage McDonalds worker, you can get written up for being 5

It's nice to work on a problem with someone and then go to lunch and shoot the shit afterwards. Or just hanging out drinking some coffee. The key is you have to have some coworkers you like though, which I'll allow that not everyb

Ultimately, remote is likely going to win out. Most people in the white collar work force are older, have families and live in the burbs. The commute for a lot of them is 1+ hour each way. But what you're saying is legitimate, and it b

It's even worse when you consider that in a very real way, the differences in these platforms largely exist to moat themselves. Apple creates their own programming languages then implements proprietary frameworks inside these languag

I like the way you phrased this. Very in line with my thinking on this.

Substack is just a place to post writing and let people subscribe for money so it can be used to post chapters of fiction just as well as an article. I only know of one person who was posting a novel on there, and not sure if they were maki

I've had friends with trust funds, who just seem to dither around in life. "Making music" they never release. Picking up little "pass the time" jobs. And these are people that aren't living "leanFIRE"

The reason most services require a phone number is so you can't just create a new account if you get banned and ideally your account is somewhat tied to a real person. They ban VOIP numbers because it would defeat the whole point.

I'm with you that there is way more to being an effective developer than just being able to write code. I feel very strongly about that. But that's not a compelling argument against doing coding assessments in interviews, I could

I agree that programmer interviews (especially ones with whiteboarding) do have a degree of "stage performance" that programmers aren't used to, but what exactly is the better alternative? Take homes might work if your compan

I've done that at Walmart before. Walmart has this policy where if the item you bought is too big to be put in a bag the greeter tries to check your receipt. You're right - they can't do anything. But it still is a very unple
