The OP asked a simple question. I don't understand how you got the idea that they want everybody else in their team to join them. I guess folks get triggered at the very mention of RTO these days.

How is this offering different from AWS Step Functions? Looking over their docs briefly, see lots of similarities like Workflows, state management, concurrent executions, retires etc.

I will consider myself an accomplished person the day I'm able to understand this post :) No offence but tbh, when I read through this, I felt a deja vu of coming across another Theranos. Some super innovative sounding complex tech whi

I think you're living in a bubble if you still believe foreigners working at FAANG are underpaid compared to the native population. You are paid as per your level.

Well, I hope you never have to travel to India where people honk when the red light is on. Why? Coz they're bored and they "want" the light to turn green.

I feel this industry has attracted a lot of run-of-the-mill folks whose primary motivation is to get a high paying job at any cost. They're willing to memorize 500+ LeetCode problems in the hope that in one out of 100 interviews their
