as soon as it becomes popular there will be outcry to leave whatever you land on.

wow. i usually push back against the mindless "that's too many engineers what are they all doing XDDD" meme. but this is actually insane, i can't believe there's more than a single person working on postman.

it does not assume that pay is or ever was correlated to how hard you work. it suggests that maybe it should be.

i did not allude to some great injustice, i shared an observation that gives me pause when i interact with people outside of this bubble. i don't have a particularly high opinion of the average person, i think this community has partic

idk why this position is so offensive. yes i think most of the population can sub into most tech work. honestly a bootcamp will make most people ready to perform at an acceptable level for your average FAANG swe role. admittedly the intervi

well, this is sort of the point of the cognitive dissonance isn't it? clearly my labor is valued at the value it produces, and i will continue to maximize the income and comfort of my family. is it virtue signaling to notice that my si

80K is a lot for restaurant work. While $40 an hour is not unheard of in the seattle restaurant area, I would not consider this a low bar to reach in that industry (or many others outside of tech tbh).

I feel similar cognitive dissonance every time I compare myself to people I know outside of tech. Pretty much without exception, they work harder jobs than me or my colleagues with worse hours and for a fraction of the income. I don't

i don't think gp is talking about building business logic or core product. but like maybe don't roll your own monitoring or log uptake or kanban board / task management solution. i worked at a company that decided they needed

i feel similarly to you but i'm finding that people who are less online than i am have no idea that anything even happened in ohio. my media is full of coverage and lots of people pulling their hair out about the lack of coverage, whi

idk it feels like a boss sitting on a chair backwards. it is such a superficial signal.

I have never liked profanity in any context. Like I don't care about how anyone else talks, but it has always seemed like a lazy choice. There are better ways to get surprise or anger or rebellion across IMO than just using the same 7

Books are also stuck in time. I like Ben Thompson's position here (Stratechery) - his ideas are moving so quickly that he doesn't want to have them stuck in time in a book. He publishes a lot of content and regularly goes back and

you skip team selection, not bootcamp. every engineer and EM go through bootcamp

I have to admit, it sounds a lot crazier before you learn that there are already cables running along the channel that the boat uses. This also means that this can't generalize outside of channels that already have cabled crossings. Gi

idk, this seems pretty dogmatic to me, and you just repeated my question as a statement. is better informed readers actually always the best solution? are there any conditions that could ever form where this would not be the case? what if r

Do any of these "counter bad information with good information" solutions address people who seek a narrative first and are not moved by more, or more factual, information that offsets their prior belief? This is what I'm wor

They asked me a few times throughout the process what my rate was and it was never hinted that it was high, but when I actually got through I was pinged immediately and frequently about being "open to feedback about my rate". I th

in a huge company sure but in smaller startups it's fine, it's nice even. i've been at companies with 10 people and 10s of thousands and in between and obviously this stops holding true at a fairly small number of employees.
