Without revealing anything you can't/shouldn't, can you share anything specific about the interview you're describing and what rubbed you the wrong way?

I don't think either Erlang or Go are silver bullets. You can't solve _all_ problems efficiently with either. Go may be useful in many many situations, as may be Erlang in some, but if all it take is one significant counter exampl

Software Development at companies is often like living on an alien planet. It takes information years to propagate to the company[1]. There's a multi-year delay between what you're doing and what you should be doing. Some, I'

By definition half the population will have opinions ahead of curve, if curve means the median opinion. Unless OP is brash or arrogant when sharing ideas with the team/management, there is not much to attribute to having a big ego here

Just finished s1. I never really rewatch immediately, but I feel like I kind of need to for this show. There was so many small details I likely missed, but there were a ton I did notice that puts a spotlight on the attention to detail and s

The double negative (hasn't, not) makes your comment a bit confusing. You're saying there is talk of something to cover the final 3 books? Do you have any sources on this? I haven't seen anything about this online besides one

I didn't mean to nitpick. I couldn't tell from the comment if OP was referring to the technical achievements of the Chromium project or was referring to the end-user application (Chrome). The technical achievements don't real

I'm not trying to be rude, but what does your comment have to do with the actual article linked. I suspect you're commenting based solely on the title? If you read the article it mentions 90% reduction if you remove the debug symb
