Flutter web is a thing now; not sure how popular it is, but Flutter in general is doing pretty well.

Back in the day, Google Voice let you find a number that matched a string, as in 1-800-LAWYERS. I got a number that, inclusive of area code (!), is of the form XYXY-<my first name>. It has a couple other interesting and obvious prop

That's where the 40,000 in the headline comes from. But the article also says this: > Several thousand borrowers with older loans will also receive forgiveness through income-driven repayment (IDR) forgiveness, plus another 3.6 mil

Much harder to come up with that list a couple years ago, nice calls. I don't have the risk appetite required for potential 10x upside - I have a few kids and my wife doesn't have an income. But I don't think 2-3x is necessa

I'd work for a private company that paid me a cash salary equivalent to my expected salary + RSU comp, yes. But I'm not sure where I'd get that kind of salary.

Coinbase and Roblox - it was a short list. I ended up with compelling offers from each, and would happily have taken either in the absence of the other. That said, in the end I chose Roblox.

I recently decided to interview for the first time in a while (and ended up accepting an offer - today is my last day at Google, after over ten years). Anyway, Stripe would have been on my shortlist...except for exactly this problem. My cr

Dart does this, or at least something very similar, and it is really nice. It's most useful for narrowing nullable types to their non-nullable counterparts after a null-check, but the subclass case works too.

When I worked on Fiber wifi and sat on the second floor (after it was renovated with a "movement" theme, but still kind of dungeony), David sat across the aisle from me. I didn't know who he was at first, and just thought of

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I don't think Dart is quite so similar to Java that it needn't exist, but I understand what you meant better now. I haven't used Swift, and I'm not likely to, but it sounds pretty good.

Did it remind you of the bad parts of Java, or was it a more superficial resemblance? When I've used Java, what bothered me was the apparent overabstractions and complicated frameworks for simple things. I've never seen that in

I actually wasn't transpiling to JS, I was running the Dart VM. VS Code + standard Dart extensions works great for debugging.

I've spent the last couple years using Dart as a backend language, and even working with the Dart team on a couple improvements to core packages. It's a really nice language, supported by Google, and transpiles to JS.

"Vegetable oil" can be soybean oil but it can also be other things. And I do often see "soybean oil", or something like "vegetable oil (soy and/or palm and/or canola)" in a list of ingredients.

I think the idea is that a candidate might have a bad interview or not click with a given interviewer, and so doing a few interviews averages this effect out a bit. At least at Google, every interviewer has their history and overall calibra

Yes, it's standard to have an initial screen and then a day of five interviews (e.g. 3 coding, one system design, one behavioral).

If they felt that way, they probably wouldn't be building the thing in the first place.

Yeah, IIRC I lived in (that) Munger for a year, and had a large, windowed bedroom and bathroom to myself. My 3 roommates had the same, and we shared a living room and kitchen. Not really anything like this new building.

Past results are not an indicator of future performance, of course. :) But yes, you're right that heavily RSU-based comp means you have to try to take that into account. That said, I usually just assume it will trade sideways and so my

As a SWE at a different FAANG, my understanding is I'd probably get a 20-30% comp increase if I went to FB, though I'm also told people work longer hours there. To answer your question more directly, http://levels.fyi
