I think we grew up in a similar level of a family and our first jobs were also quite similar. My first job was also for a big hardware chip maker for slightly less pay. (not in Silicon Valley) I felt rich and set for life. I'll say tho

This might be grossly simplifying things: but if you're already familiar with "old JS" (since you mentioned jQuery), to read and write ES6 code in most modern JS projects, you really only need to get used to a handful of conc

This is a wild guess, but could be the case for you seeing as the page's name was "Rock Music Community": Many years ago, when FB went through one of their conversions of "old data" to "new data" -- your o

From what you said though, it sounds like when you opt out of data tracking, you're at a disadvantage from those who are being tracked. (i.e. those being activity-tracked and proved to be healthy get lower insurance premiums) This se

You're not alone. I immigrated to the US from Asia in the 90s. For many years I didn't understand spoken English fully. Arguably I still miss some words now and then, even nowadays, after over 20 years living in an English environ

How many years have you been working? I find that feeling goes away with time. I've felt this way for most of my 13-year software engineer career, but in more recent years I've felt it a lot less. Perhaps the impostor syndrome its

Notably, I have NVM setup to auto init on a work MBP and two personal Linux laptops before, on Antergos (Arch) and CentOS (on a very old and slow laptop even), and terminal startup time is still near instant in all cases. Issue was definite

I've used it a bit but not seriously/professionally. My biggest issue was that after installing NVM and node, startup of the terminal took literally seconds. It was so bad that I had to move the NVM init lines from bashrc to an al

Just curious, at that level of income (and presumably the savings that come with it; you don't sound like an extravagant spender), there are probably a good number of countries you can easily legally migrate to, if going back to your h

Extremely underrated answer, and city. Sacramento IMO has the perfect balance of a nice summer (I love 80-90F temperature; yes I know it gets to 100+ on many days too) with good sunshine and not miserable fog, a little bit cold winter but n

Not sure why there is an assumption that everybody likes 68F with miserable fog. Some people actually like 80-90F temperature. I do. 90+ is too hot sure, and I get that PHX is 100+ for 3 months. I like to be able to walk outside in a tshirt

Haven't used Manjaro personally; from what I've read, Antergos is closer to actual Arch, where Manjaro is just based on Arch. This is a good summary article: https://freedompenguin.com/articles/opinion/ma

There are too many variables that will change this by as much as an order of magnitude. On the high side, say your timing was good and you made enough money to buy a house around 2012, after working for a few years. You buy a house in the p

I don't know if this helps, but I personally find coding interview practice sites/problems to be extremely boring, difficult, not fun, and frustrating to work on. I'm saying this as a 13-years-of-experience software engineer;

I recently set up a personal use Linux laptop. I picked the Lenovo Ideapad 720s. There was a good price and I really like lightweight and thin laptops. I set up Antergos on it and am a very happy user now. I run VS Code to work on side proj

If you want to use Arch but are not that hardcore-technical (command line installer etc.), try Antergos. It's like Arch ez-mode -- GUI installer, installs with a GUI of your choice (Gnome by default), uses all the Arch packages. I am r

You may not like to hear it since it's not a fast path, but the best way to find a quality cofounder is probably to work in an established startup; especially you start there early and get through its growth stages. You'll not jus

This isn't advice you can take now while you still have this job, but may help you in the future. I was an early employee in one of the companies in the late 00s/early 10s that became a unicorn. Early on there were frequently time
