On a similar note, I remember someone posted on HN like a year ago a link to these custom cursors you could download and the comments were full of people talking them up… anyone know what I’m talking about?

When I think about it, it astonishes me that there are people in the world who take Apple's developer tools, and make some really beautiful and useful iOS apps. I've tried on and off since high school and have never been able to d

I've had some ideas for browser extensions over the years, most recently a few months ago. I remember looking at Mozilla docs for making a Firefox browser extension and, as a SWE w/10 YoE (mostly fullstack web), I was left confuse

A few years ago I worked for a startup that was recently acquired. We were absolutely minting money, but all the devs got these little Dell ultrabooks with dual-core 15W i7 CPUs. It took around 20 minutes to build the frontend of our web ap

I’m not sure 15mph is necessarily enough to pass. I rarely pass in those passing zones where it’s one lane each way, but I think I kind of gun it for those few seconds… you want to spend as little time as possible in the opposite lane obvio

Bombardier is probably adequate as well. Tough to avoid those if you’re flying United Express or American Eagle.

It’s also possible that you are not representative of the real world, or both are somewhat representative of the real world… or neither…

The article is saying what we’re all thinking. Like nobody is going to genuinely disagree with the spirit of the article and I think anyone would be hard-pressed to defend any of the “fallacies” mentioned. Finding a software engineer job bl

There are certainly things you can try to mitigate ADHD, including of course Adderall. There’s a subreddit called ADHDProgramming I think… they seem to have a lot of good advice and anecdotes. As far as finding a job goes, I think grinding

I’m on a sabbatical after a layoff most of us had months’ notice to. I’ve been “unemployed” for almost 5 months. I like it. I’m actively interviewing now that the holidays are over, but it seems like the market is still light, no doubt due

I don’t think you can have a company both be public and ethical in the way you’re describing, at least in the US where you’ll get sued for giving some profits back to employees instead of to the shareholders, for example. Though if the comp

I don't know that there's a way you can pitch your reasoning to me where I would agree. The two statements sound equivalent to me. API rate limits are just that- rate limits. This is not akin to hacking and a software engineer I d

I think some companies just want to look for a reason to disqualify a candidate to make their decision process easier. If you have two roughly equal candidates, pick the one whose side project did NOT violate some random company’s TOS. I ki

To quote another commenter, “If an interviewer whined about Wall Street TOS, I'd pull my application on the spot.” But yes, that might be why I didn’t make it past that step. My internet connection also dropped in the middle of it (AT

by gymbeaux 3y ago
I’m not sure I agree with that. If you’re a technical person, like say a “Senior Software Engineer”, you should pretty much know that’s not what’s happening with something like this. Rate limiting is server-side. “Getting around it” means m

Yeah fair enough. I see a ticker change somewhat often (eg ETH to ETD, FB to META), CUSIPs change much less often, but unlike tickers CUSIPs aren’t reused . A company’s CUSIP will always be their CUSIP, but it might not be their current CU

The Robinhood API is of course the API for stock broker Robinhood. Their API, last I used it, probably could have been optimized to provide data in fewer API requests, but aside from that, there are many pieces of data that change constantl

It's not "security" in the hacking sense. Perhaps that was a poor word choice. So when you hit an API, the server can reject your request for any reason, typically a malformed request. Maybe a header it's expecting is mi

Asking someone to look up Econ 101 isn't necessary to make your point.. You probably knew what I meant. You probably knew that my point is they control the supply, so they control the price- the equilibrium price if you like.

At least with leetcode there’s a standard, there’s consistency. You judge my ability to code by how well I know Djikstra? Fine, at least there’s only one Djikstra’s Algo, and I only have to learn it once.

If only this were hyperbole. I once interviewed with a startup whose process was: 1. Pass TripleByte (already puts you in top whatever percentage of SWEs) 2. Meet with 4 members of the company for an hour each, and if they all like you: 3.
