Apple isn't going anywhere, there's plenty of future ahead for Swift. I wouldn't count on it catching on outside of their walled garden though (like web dev).

Which may or may not be worth anything. The rule of thumb is to value stock options at 0 for a reason. As opposed to RSUs, which are liquid upon vesting.

Most engineers are bad at engineering too. That's just the natural distribution of all professions. Managers are not special, their incompetence is just felt more directly and viscerally.

Fun read, but this is needlessly cynical and overwrought. Engineers compartmentalize because it's impossible to hold the entire system in your head. Companies parallelized the tracks because people finally figured out the best engineer

A form on a webpage secured with HTTPS. If they have questions about security, answer them and add it to an FAQ. Anything with a middleman seems like just a bad idea.

I don't like this framing of liberals trying to censor conservatives. That's not the root of the problem. The problem is that Facebook is full of misleading or outright false content (both right and left leaning) and it is polariz

Phone screen was super short, like 5 minutes. Followed by a vague exercise to create a tracking service without a database (wat?). Then there was like 2 weeks of back and forth emails for scheduling for a review until they said they needed

Huh, I interviewed with these folks a few years ago. The interview process was quite odd, guess I dodged a bullet.

I enjoyed it. I didn't realize that so many figures in tech had this common meeting point. Also a great demonstration of how being too early with an idea can be detrimental.

These tickets have literally no other possible use that they need to be destroyed for 2.3 million dollars? Really?

You probably should just pass unless you have other prospects asking for this. It's going to be quite a bit of time, effort, and money. You could also explain your situation and hope for the best.
