Pointy Haired Boss. I now feel very old. Dilbert taught engineers how the world worked in a sarcastic over the top way. No wonder new engineers are confused :(

The centralization and also the monitoring are hard nopes for me. If the monitoring was all local and not pushed up to k8s instantly, maybe. But this screams of a PHB's wet dream. As someone who has maintained forks of large FOSS code

Nothing is wrong with it, but it gives a STRONG hint on demographics I bet.

There is always a hint. Let's say I am an Eagle Scout. I want to write about something I did as an Eagle. Well, guess, what. I've told you a metric F-ton about myself.

Oh, but it is. I once had a debugging interview on Linux. In my head. No terminals. Interviewer would propose a hint about the problem, but he was tipping the answers. I could see where he wanted to go every time. So I applied a concept

You are missing the point. It is a PERFECT showcase of understanding. The person implementing knew what they had to implement, and what they didn't. What looks like a demerit is actually a sign of mastery.

Maybe quite the opposite. Wall Street and Finance is can be very aggressive and learn it for yourself. I learned math of finance from a professor I'm pretty sure was quanting on the Street at the time. When I told him one of the const

It is at the point where for me when they ask for a take home, it is a self selecting: Thanks but no thanks. I can spend time answering your take-home, or trying to get other interviews. From what I've seen on take homes: Other interv

Big Tech + Countries: Those all sound like great reasons to centralize all access to AIs!

It makes something ring hollow then. Why do the whole high and mightly we're using ASCII thing, then to throw me to WordPress. Certainly a bit of HTML with a few inline images fit the overall goal better. That said, I wish them the be

Read IOCCC entries. Now realize, those are people having FUN. What is your chance of catching nation state level maliciousness in a codebase? Pretty low.

Don't let age stop you, people make a big deal out of age discrimination. There is some, but there are good dev roles out there for those of us closer to the AARP card than the college ID ;).

To be fair, you are talking about a rare event, that is educational and honestly damn cool. The science teacher at the school probably wishes they could do it.

There are two good types of managers I've seen: Director+: Who largely delegate off to Tech Leads, etc. They don't have the time to get in your hair, and are focused on what is truly important. Non-Technical Managers WHO KNOW IT.

I've done this a few times. 1. Immersion. I learn more German in Germany when I visit for a week than I do in months of study. Why? Because I can see it all context. I can guess what a Hauptbahnhof is context, and other words. Yo

So there's two factors: - What does it cost you to provide? - What is it worth to your customers? You need to understand both, before setting a price or even opening up the API. This feels like systems engineering 101.

I've seen that and honestly, as long as they do the job well, I let it ride. I've also seen doctors where their social skills honestly impaired them from getting through to people and thus getting the needed outcomes. Also... Your

Honestly, given that they are some of the poorest parts of our country. Yes. I'm also pro-single payer healthcare, and want us just to get on with it. I don't believe the value of people is just the money they earn.

A good doctor. That is a huge proviso alas. I wish it wasn't.

You will get no disagreement here. I specifically pointed at older NPs for a reason. Heck even old RNs will know what they are doing. For us programmers it is a bit like why you don't let the new kid push straight to prod. But an olde

Personally, I'll take the 60 year old NP over the 30 year old doctor 95%+ of the time. The NP has seen more and been around the block. The doctor still is a baby in medicine.

The free market does not solve all problems. Sometimes it simply doesn't make economic sense to provide a service that people need. Witness broadband availability and other things, and you'll see that the free market won't pr

When I was playing I called this the "School of Fish" phenomenon. If there are weak players they can effectively end up colluding against a stronger player who is playing "More Optimally". Understanding the table, is a k

If everyone is great. Someone has to draw the short straw. At MIT they said: You know the kid who sat at the front of the room. Now you are with ALL of the kids who sat in the front of the room. Guess what? There's still going to

I'd love to get some clarity on this from Google on if they actually support not getting spied on or not? It is only kinda 1/2 clear here.
