I agree with you that I don't want my manager to completely stop coding (especially if it is something they like a lot). I just want them to realize that there are higher priority items on their list of things to-do. And spend at least

I would like to add my perspective as an IC who is reporting to a technically-focused manager. I feel frustrated that my manager does not spend even 10% of the time they spend coding on coaching/guiding/giving feedback to me. I fe

I think it also depends on the role. If the role expects a deep dive into the language and its ecosystem (more of a senior role), then the ramp up time is longer. But if it is a more junior role where you are just implementing stuff using c

I would also include Reddit in this list. The homepage (if you visit incognito or not being signed in) seems to be tailored to bubble up all the "outrageous" events.

It depends on the stock and the current demand for that stock. If you had GME shared during the recent frenzy, you could have earned a lot in interest. But, say you have Google, you won't earn much since there is a lot of shares and lo

I agree that short term thinking is a huge problem. Almost all the reps/senators are optimizing for winning the next election 2/6 years away. It's just a sad state of affairs. I have no idea what the problem to the soliton is

Considering Apple usually strong arms everyone, my guess would be that they believe they could have gotten it for free. I could be wrong of course.

If companies like Robinhood don't come along, how do you think disruption in the financial market will happen? If we always go back to the existing players, rate of innovation will be so slow (especially in the financial market). And i

Just as FYI, one of the testimonials is wrongly formatted. There is no space between "psychologist" and "university of Florida"

Yes, Google doesn't use Leetcode per se for interviews. What the parent commenter was referring to was that Google interview questions are of the type for which Leetcode has become famous for.

Happy new year to HN. I have learned a lot from the valuable discussions over the years. Thanks to everyone who has made that possible! May 2021 be a good year for all.

Completely agree with this statement. It's just human nature. I come from a third world country where bribery and corruption is a way of life and everyone just accepts it. When I moved to the US I thought that problem doesn't exis

Are you saying that every big you report against a commercial software gets fixed? I think you can find all kinds of people equally in both open-source software and commercial software makers.

Rather than the marketplace validating it, I would say that they had no option. I feel Adobe made the switch at the right time when they had no competition. It's not like professionals had any other competing option for LR and Photosho

Is it possible for your to return the car and get a different model since the dealership obviously lied to you? Seems like a huge premium to pay for a non-existent feature.

I completely agree regarding your thoughts on "Range". I think quite a number of books dealing with same/similar subject areas can be shortened. But for some reason "Range" felt too long even by those standards. I f

I highly doubt you can get to the executive level of such a large company without playing politics. And playing it well. It's inevitable.

All the freedom in the world, and all the responsibility in the world too. The constant pressure to make the correct decisions for over 7 years would definitely be worth a 2x multiplier at least right?

I highly doubt they can outmaneuver Mitch. Especially in this current environment where the two parties are unwilling to work together and have a divisive relationship. Things might have been better a couple of decades ago where working acr

I have to disagree here. Both dd-mm-yyyy and yyyy-mm-dd are much much better than the mm-dd-yyyy. Both are very intuitive compared to the completely unintuitive mm-dd format.

I am just mind-blown that it is so easy for a single individual sitting halfway across the world to shutdown a real company's online presence (on social media) and cause a loss in profit. The company is definitely not going to get the

Apologies for the tangential question. I am currently working on a codebase that involves trying to understand code that parses and input string (that has various search parameters and values) and generates an appropriate SQL query to searc

I think there are a lot of examples of mass adoption of "bad" things also. Fast food and processed sugar are the ones that come to mind immediately.

Thanks for the input. Seems like things have gotten a bit better. A few years ago someone I knew said they got around 90k cad for a 115k usd role. Still a huge drop! :(

If you don't mind me asking a tangential question, how is the salary mapping from Seattle to Toronto for the same position/role. I am also thinking of moving out of the US and to Canada.

To me it seems like a strong warning since it's a "first time offense". Not too high so as to break the company (and say push it to exit the German market). But significant enough to make sure they don't do it again. My

That is a pretty optimal plan and that is what quite a few colleagues I know are doing. Not moving to Europe, but planning to move to Canada. Save up some money in the US, move North and settle down.

I think the green card option was valid for Indians who came to the country at least a decade ago. It's no longer viable for Indians who are coming to the country now (or came in the past few years). Tying your immigration status to th

That seems to be a value that would be valid for a different era. I am not sure whether we can go by those same numbers for the current market environment (especially after the QE starting from 2008/09).
