From what I can gather it’s way worse in programming than at least in other Engineering fields

Could you do something like computing the aggregate groups in background jobs instead, perhaps staggered, to take that out of the critical path?

Right, it’s a completely different vibe - the live experience is like no other, but the audio quality is often too loud and harsh and crap, whereas listening in the vinyl cafe would be at the other end of the spectrum

A lot of what you say is not false, and it can be frustrating for employees (though it goes both ways - imagine a company headquartered in, say, Chicago, and you lived in SF or NYC - you'd be better off than if you were getting Chicago

Same reason why the exact same drug or tech product is sold cheaper in developing markets than in the US - because it maximizes profitability. Since everyone is paying according to geographic location, companies who don't will be at a

Lol no need to look all the way at Europe even. In the US not a single one of the big techs hires remotely still, and this I believe is a big barrier to the spread of remote hiring (“if google doesn’t hire remote, there must be some good re

It’s an arrangement. Low paid labor now for ownership of the business in the future

The way I think about current American corporate culture is that, yes, there are good _individuals_ at companies that legitimately want you to succeed and have you paid what you’re worth; but at the end of the day the needs of the company t

Ummm, yeah, how much is that real estate that’s a walk or bike ride from most amenities costing ya?

I think often its both that wealth changes people, and its often a certain kind of personality that seeks and succeeds in obtaining high-powered, high-income positions.

I too thought this was a given and have personally experienced it even just being a rung or two on the ladder. It makes total sense - what you do or don’t share or say becomes more important, the stakes are higher, and there’s just generall

Seeing a pattern here on Engineers just calling it as it is, and wanting employers to do so too. It ain't gonna happen - its the same thing as in PR-speak where a company will deny wrongdoing, speak in platitudes, etc, even when everyo

I wonder how softbank’s vision fund has been doing, and whether that info is available somewhere. Seems like they’re in on every late stage splashy tech investment

In all seriousness, I think there’s a ton of waste involving languages - each language introduces its own package manager, doesn’t interop with other languages meaning you have to rewrite python’s requests library in #newlanguage2019 etc

There are a few reasons - The move to webapps meant that each app had to decide how their buttons would look like, what colors, fonts, and contrasts they’d use, how their workflows to do very similar things would be structured; when things

This kind of private groups are really popular amongst extended family or friend groups in countries where apps like WhatsApp are popular (which is seemingly every country but the US) It’s crazy how which platforms are popular has shaped ho

Another reason is choice. In my area it is difficult to find a decently updated SFH to rent - the ratio of homes for sale vs for rent is 5 to 1 or greater

I don’t know if that double speak conclusion makes much sense. If they were doing bad in foreign markets and the share of revenue there was negligible, currency fluctuations would have no impact. Actually, it’s the inverse, where currency f

It's interesting that it's turned out that way - of those options you'd guess that a video chat platform would have a higher overhead...

That example causes panic because there’s an immediate major financial threat (yes, those charges can be reversed, but it’s still scary) A better comparison would be something like “that hotel you spent a week in has a hidden shower camera
