I can't speak across the board, but I'm a software engineer for a small-medium tech company (~100 employees/~15 devs). We don't have any kind of bonuses for engineers here, typically just 3-5% raises every 6-12 months. I

First off, the goal of starting a successful startup is not a goal that I would recommend to anyone. Startups are hard. They require painstaking work, large amounts of risk, mental and emotional fortitude. Not to mention that the idea of fo

I use Google Authenticator. It's actually more pertinent now after some recent hacks. People are calling cellphone providers and getting access to other people's simcards. Then they try to hack any accounts that use SMS our Authy

Why book? I don't know about you or your cousin, but learning from a book is so slow and dry. Why not a video series or online tutorial? Hell, maybe teach him the basics and build a small project with him. Codecademy is a great way to

When I use it for "learning new things" it's typically for an event or important experience. Recent examples being: A conference and the opportunity to put my home made self driving car on a race track. When I want to use it

This looks incredible, the brand new SDC hardware gets me excited! What's the next milestone your guys plan to hit? Are you going to be utilizing or releasing any open source software? I'm always looking for more stuff to hack on

The best way to do it is just look at what packages you use frequently. If their github repo is accessible then dive into the "issues" and start opening some PRs to address them. And if you've ever wished the package did X th

just to be clear this is not for a competition but rather just an intense large block of working time, correct? In that case my recommendations are: - have your supplies stocked and ready before hand. You dont want to have to think about wh

In my experience there's two key pieces of landing a job that a lot of applicants don't put any emphasis on. "Culture fit": In the startup world everyone is looking to hire people who fit their culture. They don't e

TL;DR: Yes it's possible, but it doesn't actually matter if it happens or not. An AI creating websites is definitely possible, but will it actually replace people? I don't see that happening (at least not at a large scale). I

TL;DR: The barchart can be misleading. Increasing # of applications can decrease the rate at which they mature into offers. I like some of your points like get through to real people. That's an incredibly important part of landing a jo

They mention that a lot of the jobs that might be displaced are some of the more skilled ones like doctors or lawyers, because those are tasks that machines can do well. I wonder if we'll see a weird shift where parents begin encouragi

Definitely agree with the 4 things mentioned, but what about also advocating for 1:1 mentors for the interns? When I was interning, my mentor was an invaluable asset and I wouldn't be the developer I am today without his help.
