How so? The Watch was launched as a FitBit killer at the 1.0 keynote. There was a small segment from Jony Ives touting a ridiculously priced gold variant which was a complete mis-read of the market. I could see how Apple was nervous that th

No clue, but I'd assume this is like any other pro Apple device that will have a bluetooth or some external device SDK and 3rd parties will make controllers for games.

Oculus is accessible by targeting itself as a fun gadget. You buy it to play immersive games when you're at home alone, bored. It's also affordable and that is extremely important. You won't feel nearly as bad dropping a wad

This looks like a product meant to serve a very niche market. During lockdown I had the Intel Mac pro in my home office and my electric bill doubled with that thing on. It also pushed out so much heat, but at least the chassis design was wh

It's the same in C++. The compiler and language design came first and then the library (aka executor) part comes next. Rust has basically 2 executor libraries, tokio and async-std. It seems to me like tokio is solidifying as the execut

Love that effect! I do this in small doses when I take my dog for a walk. After I get back I usually have the answer I was searching for without actively thinking about it.

I don't think this is a wrong take and I'm excited for some version of this future. However, I'm skeptical we'll get to this anytime in the next 30 years. As of right now, even if ChatGPT were to generate 99% accurate re

This is the right way to interview, I agree. You want to see repeatable behavior and a general interest in going through the process. If someone takes the time to apply with homework and is able to articulate well, it gives you so much valu

I wholeheartedly disagree! It takes months, sometimes even half that year for engineers to fully ramp-up on teams and integrate into the culture of a company. Yes, you are expected to hit-the-ground running on day one, but no one will immed

Although they've added self-checkout lanes to Whole Foods, human interaction is in its DNA and you pay for that premium. Amazon is only able to capture your order details if you use the app at checkout.

Not that you're wrong, but there's definitely a huge perceptual difference when one method is done visually and another is done anonymously. Amazon Go's system knows who I am, what item I grab off the shelf, put back and then

I too prefer human check-out lines. I always find that self-checkout system that everyone uses to be slower and clunky. The worst is at the grocery store where I have to search and find each item of produce, weigh it and then carefully plac

The funny thing is, I never got the impression it had less employees than a typical CVS. They were just either in the back keeping the items stocked on the shelves, helping customers feel comfortable with the the idea they just walk out, or

If you have a good EM, they should ask, when can you get this finished by? If it doesn’t align with the deadline, the EM can then add other teammates to help balance the work or assign the entire project to someone else. It’s a myth that th

Hopefully, I think the generation after Gen-Z will rebel against a lot of that on your list. I'm already noticing my nieces and nephews make a point to spend time with their real-life friends even when their parents are glued to their

This is something I learned late in my career. Leadership has to constantly justify their priorities and expenses. The goals they set and expect from their teams is also built from the feedback they receive from their teams. What can they r

Great creation is never done in isolation. However, I think there's a mismatch of definitions. Getting to a destination, and seeing the big picture usually takes a lot of minds to envision. Once you know the destination, then in most i

I'm not sure I believe that and It's never going to be that magical. If you're an accountant, Excel will likely continue to improve to ingest financial data and help you generate reports faster than before. They are usually o

I agree for the most part, but I am also intrigued how this will play out on the regulation side of things. Hollywood loves to treat AI as something that can go rogue, but these tools will have all kinds of safety locks on it and will only

Nah, never the whole job. Software engineering isn't 100% writing code, so even if an AI could write 100% of the code, there's still all of the other things around it that need to get done. I am actually super excited for better A

Just like a human, don't use these new AI tools to read your mind. I've found ChatGPT to be impressively helpful at knowing where to continue to look for something. I can write a sentence and explain what I'm looking for, and

LOL, this is also very true. I do question how you manage your backlog though, if there are things on it that should never be implemented, maybe you should clean it out? :-p

Or the reverse take, at Meta, ICs find the projects on teams that excite them and they are the ones empowered to decide what is a good fit for themselves.

I can only speak to my experience in the engineering org at Meta and past experience at Apple. One key difference between Apple and Meta is that each individual (on the ground) team at Apple is responsible for its own hiring. Whereas at Met

One positive is that all these high-level laid off engineers are now going disperse into all kinds of smaller companies and inject life back into the startup world. For the last decade Google, Meta, et.al. have been sucking the power out of

If you're laying off an entire division, sure, your comment applies. However, from anecdotal experience at Meta, the layoffs seemed entirely random that hit both ICs and Managers. People internally tried to reverse engineer the formula

The appeal to TikTok isn't just that it zeroes in on my attention, it's that the content is mixed and matched and cross-referenced with each other. So it feels like a special place where you can only find that content. Aggregating

Yup, spot on and pretty much explains everyone I know who’s been laid off. We’re all lucky to land that great FAANG job, and just as unlucky to get laid off from it. This year should be a reminder to all of us to never take a day for grante

I also agree with the OP. My personal take on the experience so far: Joining a server feels like I'm hanging out in someone else's backyard. There's this feeling that at any point I could be asked to leave if I overstay my we
