But that's not gonna happen. They will most likely not get the same paycheck as their colleagues on the coasts. Mostly because the cost of living is much lower. Edit: In my experience I have more net money if I work in place with high

I talked about this in another post. I'm sure there are many different types of tech worker. But right now (I'm in my twenties) when evaluating a job offer the location is super important. Sure buying power and rent price is a fa

Can't speak for anyone else but I gladly take a hit in my disposable income (it's not that much of a hit) if it means I can live in place where a lot of interesting stuff is happening aside from work (Berlin, NYC, Amsterdam, etc.)

How would you ever manually review 400 hours of video per minute (likely much more by now). It's just impossible. And who is to say that the human reviewers would make no mistakes. It's not always a clear cut decision I'm gue

I still believe that Google leadership (maybe different for middle management) really has altruistic aspirations. Or rather, they think it's better they grab the power because they won't abuse it. People complain about the monopol
