Because high quality customer service and support doesn’t scale well. Especially at the scale and (sadly) profit margins FAANG companies expect.

> Has it occurred to you that the lack of people willing to pay for what you're trying to offer may be indicative that it's not quite as valuable as you perceive it to be? This is how we end up with no art, no music, no culture

More anecdata: In over three years my Volvo has never phantom braked to the best of my knowledge. ACC is far and away my favorite and most used Pilot Assist feature too.

I’ve had both, been in the industry for a while. The unfortunate thing I’ve discovered about great managers in big companies is that the work (not personal) relationship is temporary. There’s a good chance they get promoted/move on be

I think this answer draws the right balance between truth and vulnerability. A corporation is not your friend. The interviewer is probably feeding you less benign little lies about the company simultaneously.

Oops autocomplete. Incompetency should be idempotency.

Yup, and my understanding of the problem is that if you expose the heavy weight views to the state layer (structs) and allow direct manipulation, render calls lose incompetency, the structs are no longer the source of state truth and the wh

As I understand it, what you’re asking for is fundamentally incompatible with the paradigm itself (at least in a clean way). The whole programming experience of declarative UIs is predicated on the fact that you’re manipulating lightweight

Agreed about this middleman being particularly undesirable. You may be interested in checking out some non-FB software around this concept. Something like: https://immersed.com/ Of course you’ll probably end up running it

I’m actually really bullish on this use case for AR/VR/MR. Digital professionals spend all day on digital platforms creating digital products (software being an example). If you think of it like this, monitors and our current HCI

Some random local context: Menver was a running joke 10/15 years ago, probably even before that too.

Great book! It’s available online, for free at https://www.pbrt.org/ . You can also find older, physical editions on EBay for $10-$15.

I moved to the valley for a FANG opportunity a few years ago. Honestly, it’s not my cup of tea. Recently changed jobs to a company that supports full time remote so I can move somewhere with a better chance for a balanced (enjoyable) life.

I don’t think you understand how deep the Apple secrecy/paranoia culture rabbit hole goes. Another example: Have you ever noticed how comparatively infrequently Apple is even mentioned in FAANG working condition threads? Source: I am

My enthusiasm for corporate work may have dulled a bit over the years but I still really love to program. Digging into new challenges, learning and creating still tick the boxes. I’ve found I increasingly need to partition work and “hobby”

Honest question, I’m very curious. Do you still classify React as closer to an OO paradigm than functional? Agreed hooks are… something else.

Me too. HireRight was somehow completely unable to contact some of my previous employers. Situation resulted in me visiting old offices in person for proof of employment to satisfy HireRight. This all occurred after I had accepted the job o

The only use I’ve ever found for traditional cruise control is to reduce ankle strain on extremely long road trips. Not a big fan. Adaptive cruise control is about my favorite “driver assist” technology though. Makes the constant speed cha

Honest question: is wrapping a home in a Faraday cage even plausible? Or on a room level? How do you control for RF leaks? How do you handle windows and doorways? I’m fascinated.

Refueling for what? The realities of orbital dynamics mean that Mars isn’t a convenient stopping place on the way to say, the outer solar system. I don’t have the numbers in my head but the delta-v requirements to intercept, match velocity

I was working heavily with amplify a couple years ago and to be honest it was an awful experience. Common use cases weren’t handled well, deployment failures were common, overall architecture was actually less coherent when using amplify th

Don’t listen! Denver is prone to harsh winters that weed out the weak. Yearly winter total population fatality rates average around 8%. If the weather doesn’t get you first you might asphyxiate from the extremely low oxygen. I hear New Je

Very similar situation, relocated to the Bay for work a few months before the first shelter in place. It’s been rough. Don’t have any real advice, but at least know you’re not alone. Edit: I think it’s important to focus on where we go fro

Animal hair is a big one. My husky’s hair literally weaves its way into any cloth seats and doesn’t come out. Anecdote: I actually have a leather Volvo for this very reason. No problem using leather substitutes to accomplish the same thoug
