In one situation you don’t have access to your assets until they are unfrozen. In another you are dead. They don’t seem anywhere near equivalent.

Ditto for any language. I think it is a good sign for someone to recognize the trade-offs a language makes, or even accept that they can complain about it while acknowledging they don’t understand the trade-offs. But when a dev says X is ob

Plumbing and electricians can be a great career but “one of the less physical one” denies the fact that it still wears out your body all the same. Speaking from a family of manual labor + friends in trades.

May hate my answer. Learn to be optimistic long-term, go to therapy, exercise, make friends, have relationships, and try different things to find a career you enjoy. AI is overblown and knowledge is only becoming more valuable in a world sp

I still can’t believe this is a thing that has survived this long. I look forward to Reddit’s replacement if paid third-party API usage doesn’t pan out.

Excuse me we came here to use data to dog on social media not solve actual problems. It sounds like you have a very healthy relationship with your son!

As a liberal how do you feel about hardcore conservatives? Are there no “out groups” of Americans within your own country who scare the shit out of you? If there are, what is the difference between them and a Chinese or Russian person? Reg

I will out myself to some folks, and hope they keep me pseudo-anonymous :). I rescinded my Google offer to take another which had a more personally meaningful role and paid significantly higher (I think 50% higher?). Google then put me on a

The rubber band helps shift your focus back to your body. It can be an effective tool for people who struggle with anxiety. No need to judge it as being harsh or having a lack of kindness.

If someone finds the book helpful, it is helpful. No need to call it a meme if it does not cite studies. It is strictly a personal decision to read the book and use the system.

It is not outrage. It is demanding that women get respected in the ways that they want to be respected. Perhaps you have not noticed the tendency for some people to consistently refer to men as “men” and women as “female” or “girl”. If you

It is still cool. An easy path to success: find a medium to large company with a strong engineering culture, join, and start memory profiling things. You will likely end up with 1-2 line commits that reduce memory usage across the entire fl

Really though, the phones? To blame it all on phones and social media, is the classic “duh isn’t it obvious just look at what they are doing” moment. This perpetuates the narrative of the “coddled mind” AKA dysfunctional generation who are

If you can’t afford ~25% of your week educating junior hires, then you shouldn’t have junior hires. It is a sin of the industry to not train new folks, and I would argue that many “senior engineers” do not know how to mentor juniors because

I found my roles in FAANG were more general than my roles in medium/small companies. And typically I have seen one or two people in small companies become the defacto expert in X. Please tell me more about how my life experience is a l

A large portion of this community has had resentment towards FAANG and FAANG engineers for a long time. Whiteboard interviews, high pay, not invented here syndrome, memes about coasting in big co, stereotyping people based off which FAANG

If I want near-instantaneous compile times with my build system I'll just make a bash script or Makefile and use a single compilation unit (which Rust does not really do). When I use Bazel it is because: - I want to build nearly everyt

You are missing the point. “Middle class” lifestyle, especially in high cost areas, is not making around $55K. It is making roughly $150K or more. The point is that salaries should have increased for everyone. Middle class is not struggling

The standard suite of open sourced Bazel rules are powerful enough for 99% of use cases. I have seen people argue this isn’t true, or that a rules package is fundamentally broken, but then learn that they are holding it wrong. And that hold

I think Bazel is actually a good build system, but the issue is that they lack good educational resources. Then others adopt it at smaller companies without a team to manage Bazel and without investing time to onboard others into understand
