Low Touch Advisor The dream: “click a button to get a senior engineer added to your slack.” It’s a side hustle for awesome engineers. My first customer has me looking for e6+ or cloud architects to be paid advisors to review cloud migration

I'm on the build team at DoorDash. We're in year 1 of our Bazel monorepo journey. We are heavy into Go, already have remote execution and caching working, and are looking to add support for Python & C++ soon. If this sort of s

People are saying that one of the founders sold $150m+ of their equity and the vc's couldn't stop them... and proceeded to get a 70 foot yacht. With no remaining incentive to build the business, it's no wonder they are out.

Former Lyft engineer here. I'm convinced they will go out of business or sell the scraps to someone... however smart acquirers like Elon wouldn't go near it. Rideshare sucks.

I believe there might be a hidden message in the decrypted text itself. The reason I think this is that there seem to be filler words added to otherwise ordinary language. Example "I hope you are having fun in trying to catch me".
