I meant first place in the “idiot crown” :) However, I do not understand people advocating for two way bike lanes on avenues. It defeats the point of green waves. It would still be faster to go over to 2nd to go downtown rather than (legall

At this point it’s the e-bikes and the mopeds that are the worst. Drivers will behave like oblivious idiots, but they are predictable idiots. We need an NYPD crackdown on e-bikes/mopeds (mostly delivery riders) to get them off the road

Why do people care so much about the rendering engine? They are also basically the same for most websites people actually care about, the important part is the UI. That being said I’d strongly prefer the native WebKit be used since it would

Sure but there are plenty of obese people living in “McMansion Hell” suburbs who can clearly afford vegetables. When visiting my parents in such a wealthy-ish suburb, the difference from similarly wealthy parts of NYC is very obvious (hey a

Cringe is an understatement… I would love to see a company that simply stated the point was to make money. Finance companies feel no shame at this, why are tech companies so cringe with the mission and vision stuff?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but why is this practical? It’s a Mac app, WebKit already ships with the OS and can be easily used with WKWebView. Bundling Chrome is a much bigger app size and much more complicated build setup than importing

I am an IC and I outlevel my manager and probably make more than my skip who is at the same level (I have some significant extra performance bonus equity grants), so no. Obviously managers have more direct reports, the definition of an IC i

Management isn’t a promotion, it’s a different job, and being “stuck” as an IC shouldn’t be a thing. There’s nothing wrong with staying on the IC track forever and getting promotions rather than changing to management. You say that there ar

I think this is more about the increased push towards the growth hacking features, and the recent drama, though? "Enshittification" definitely explains the product direction, but it doesn't mean that the website shouldn'

My perspective on this is a little different because I ride a bike in NYC and I do not order delivery food, ever. Thus, I only experienced the negative externalities of these apps on cycling in NYC, and I don't care about delivery fo

> Even in FAANG it's a promotion. No, it is not. You switch from L6 IC to L1 M (FB/Google scale). Compensation remains exactly the same. > If not immediately, the cap for ICs is much lower. This is different from management

That's still low, that's an E7/M2 salary, VP is at least three levels higher (D1, D2, VP1).

Yeah, and theaters will never add the ability to pause and go to the restroom. Plus there are no talkers or texters at home.

In terms of efficiency of bicycles alone, aero frames, deep wheels, carbon fiber. Clipless is also an incredibly significant change, but not as much of efficiency as the others.

Reinventing UI frameworks from absolute scratch is always going to be janky and playing catch-up, on every platform. At least RN uses normal UIKit controls on iOS that work and feel like normal.

Tbh most of the people at work whose relationships I know about are with someone who also works at FAANG or a FAANG-alike. Lots of 2 SWE couples.

Any decent index fund? “Risk free” is too high a bar for any investment, compare the expected outcome instead.

Not sure about average in NYC, we have a lot of millionaires that will drag that up, but he’s well above median household income, which is something like $70k.

Meta does not have public levels. Everyone’s title is Software Engineer, from IC3 to IC10. Some senior ICs do have a view into levels, since they are involved in performance reviews. At Google, you can see other people’s levels, and they

Likely recruiting was more affected as a percentage, it just makes sense if you are not hiring nearly as much as you used to. I don’t think that only programmers are “real talent” though.
