I did it (3 FAANGs). I also did it once before with my then-current employer and two other companies. You have to stall the urgent folks and push the slow ones. It did take a lot of burning vacation time.

I had 3 FAANG offers. There are so many ways to screw this up. IMHO, the article’s advice is spot-on.

It isn’t just caffeine though. I drink plenty of non-coffee caffeine, with little effect. As soon as I drink coffee, I have to go within 15 minutes.

I've written an ASN.1 parser. The problem isn't the specification (though it is definitely a kitchen sink spec). The problem is the majority of ASN.1 code was written before the year 2000. ASN.1 started in 1984. That means there

It doesn't even apply to consumer products. Thankfully to Apple's shareholder, they obviously ignored these rules.

What does safety training look like for an ATC? Isn’t that their entire job?

This is not a big data problem. This isn’t even a small data problem. Bus routes can be figured out with a paper and pencil in a few hours. I can’t possibly understand the level of incompetence required to get this wrong. Bus drivers don’t

The US culture was very much oriented around this model just a generation ago. What makes US culture change faster?

It seems these are all structural problems that Japan can address directly. Universal child care, family leave might help. Still, I look at the generation younger than me in the US and see them in the same spot. We’d already be in their si

For the same reason you don’t brush 10 times a day. It isn’t significantly more effective than once a week and we all have better things to do.

NIST recommended getting off SMS in 2016. I’d say 7 years is plenty of time that folks really shouldn’t be using it. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/08/nist_is_no_lo...

The idea was to show that the US had an endless supply. Of course we only built two, but the Japanese didn’t know that.

At the current FAANG I work for, managers are so consumed by organizational overhead that there’s plenty of room for IC (ie staff engineer) to influence direction. Not sure if this applies at the VP level.

It isn’t any different than buying Nike, Gucci, or Michael Kors. Many folks are extremely brand and status conscious. Appearing high status is more important than many other expenses.

No, there’s lots of low level software provided by third parties that Google doesn’t control.

It is far easier to add plumbing to the ground floor of a building. In fact everything is easier if you’re not 1000 feet in the air.

I did a CRM bake off for a startup about 5 years ago. It is a super crowded market, probably the most crowded SaaS market in the world. There are even a half dozen open source CRMs. Good luck.

Tevin/Shepard retired at the end of 2020, almost 30 years. That’s a long career in any job.

“To move from a manager title to a director role, a person had to have hired managers under them from outside the company. To move up the director ranks, a person needed to have managed their own team of directors.” That is absolutely crazy

This makes me want to bake again. If you haven’t baked a cake from scratch, you really should, at least once. At minimum, it will provide some perspective when you see a $15 cake for sale at the grocery store.

I completely lost my sense of smell in April from a regular cold. It is back now perhaps 25%. The ENT says it does happen, and come back in 6 months to get a brain scan if it doesn’t.

Many buildings have retail on the ground floor. This isn’t much different.
