Personally, I've never found it difficult. Have 1-2 interviews with a take home or in person coding exercise or however they want to prove to me they can actually code. Pay high, have great benefits, high equity, treat your employees w

Why? Does it have life threatening symptoms? Are there millions of cases? Why is this an emergency?

My former employer had a lot of trouble hiring and getting applicants even though we paid very high wages. They asked for my help. Naturally, they hadn't posted the salary range. I changed up the listing to talk about what we provided

That's fine, but then you can't celebrate that he may be forced into buying it which a ton of comments here are doing.

HARD disagree. If you don't want him to own it, you should be happy he's walking away.

Well put. Also: - I'd hate it if Elon bought Twitter Same person: - What? This is bullshit! Elon should be forced to buy Twitter!

You're being downvoted. Another sad day on HN when free speech is downvoted.

There's something really messed up and confusing about all the people complaining about him buying twitter now complaining he's backing out of the deal. Most of the people in these comments are hypocrites.

by gsibble 4y ago
Seems to me he makes a pretty sound argument here to back out.

by gsibble 4y ago
Could you commenters please make up your minds over whether you want the deal to go through or not? You all seem to hate that Musk would make Twitter more conservative so you don't want the deal to go through, but also make fun of him

I did. It's currently worth $6 billion. But it was a horrible experience that nearly killed me. Not interested in doing that again.

That was pretty much exactly what happened, and I was working 100 hour weeks. I was promised 3 weeks off after we launched and they reneged. When that happened, I gave notice.

No, it was a bank that to senior developers would be super easy to understand. Their entire engineering team except for me was coding camp graduates (I was the only person with an actual software degree from a university) who had the capabi

Not only did I ask for a raise, I also asked for a team. What they gave me were code camp graduates with 1-2 years experience. We were building a bank based upon a highly complex microservice architecture running on Kubernetes and other com

I have 25+ years experience and a computer engineering degree from a top university. The 19 people were all right out of coding camps and each had 1-3 years experience.

Thank you. The biggest issues were: - I was not ever told to write documentation, never given time to do it, and was working around 100 hour weeks, almost all spent coding, under tight deadlines. - I'm a senior developer / Archite

They were all code monkeys right out of coding camps.

They never gave me time to write documentation. I was working 100 hour weeks, almost all coding, under tight deadlines. You can see why I wanted a raise.

It was a combination of being the sole decision maker, architect, product manager, etc. without having to coordinate with a team, being very senior (25+ years), being a very fast coder (I produced 4x the lines of code of anyone else at the

Management was incompetent and I have proof. Their stock hit a high of $15 less than six months ago. It's currently sitting at $0.66. They went from $5.5 billion to $255 million in market cap in less than six months. They had many prob

I am very senior (25+ years experience) and they used all jrs (1-3 yrs). They seemed of the mindset that monkeys can write Shakespeare.

They refused me a raise on multiple occassions, worked me for 100 hours a week for 3 months straight, promised me three weeks off when the product launched, which they then renegged on. I quit with no notice to save my mental and physical h

It was a bank with high security, so the code actually had 100% coverage in tests.

They never asked for documentation and instead pushed for more development faster.

I was working 100 hour weeks and not given any time for documentation or knowledge transfer. The code was certainly self-reading but it was a very complex system, especially security wise as it was a bank. Their other developers were junior

Exactly. I was working 100 hour weeks, almost all spent writing code and given no time for documentation, knowledge transfer, etc.. They bet the house on me and wouldn't pay me appropriately.
