I'll assume that you're wrong, and not do anything about it. Seriously - I think you're off by a lot, and in the case that you aren't, all knowledge jobs will be affected, not just programming, and that's so socie

Thanks for sharing! The focus on paying top compensation is very different from anywhere I've worked.

Carmack talked about implementing most of these things in C by himself, being used to working 10-12 hours a day for 6 days a week, and writing video codecs in Rust for him was on the level "a little bit beyond hello world". I don&

Not how it works at all - they're serving EU customers which is what matters to GDPR. Apparently the two aren't in conflict like some other comments pointed out, but it has nothing to do with Coinbase being an American company.

Not really advice, just sympathies from me - having to do this twice a day, every day is a pain. 2-3 standups a week is a sweet spot imo. Doing it every day is a waste of time and it gives everyone an incentive to talk about things that are

The main impact to most people living in Europe has been the higher cost of living which is also the case in the just about any alternative continent/country you can think of.

This doesn't sound right to me - in a flat structure the people who self-promote go up in the implicit structure of the team so self-promotion is more important, not less.
