I use trunk-based development too and it's not the same as avoiding branches and working on the main branch. With trunk-based you still do all of your work on a branch - the difference between trunked-based and gitflow is how long the

I don’t get your git strategy - don’t you work with other people and have code reviews? And it’s not like branching means more things in progress - you can work on one dev/feature branch at a time.

If you like research over engineering and want high pay, there are well-paid commercial ML research jobs. They're competitive but given that you have a PhD and a decent amount of experience, you might have a good chance.

> I find hiring extremely time consuming because I need to wade through so many candidates to find a true senior. Filter on years of experience - if you're right that 10 YOE is a useful threshold, it will make your candidate search

> However the number of people who claim to be with less than 5 is astounding! Senior engineer since when I had less than 5 YOE - I'm not claiming anything, I'm just using the title used by my employer. Nothing good will happen

Sounds like too much process. At the same time I've seen teams where the problem was too little process and they would have had great improvements from things like sitting people down and agreeing on what the short-term priorities are,

Coherence (2013) is a great low-budget indie film of people in a room talking to each other.

For what position? It might be helpful for a PM but for an engineеring role I would see it as a bit of a red flag.

How well do these papers replicate? In some of experiments with GPT-4 I've seen chain-of-thought style prompting make answers noticeably worse than plainly asking a question once.

Really? An unlabeled map scatterplot? The article copied only one of them from the original paper but the second one is just as useless. Isn't Science supposed to be a prestigious journal? The quality of the data presentation is embarr

To what extent is he eroding the trust in his other projects with everything he's done at Twitter so far? If this is how he runs things, I really don't want to be in/near a car built by a company run by Elon.

If you're not 18 and starting from scratch, you can learn these things without getting a degree. The overall point that I agree with is that you shouldn't neglect fundamental knowledge in the field regardless of whether you have f

It's your own responsibility to learn this, or not learn it, that's fine too.

If you've decided to switch, then sure, you'll need to spend some time learning new things. Keep in mind that most analytics roles are a move down from most software developer jobs in terms of technical skills required, salary, pr

First, it's a horrendous management idea. Second, it's a problem solved by a spreadsheet, not by a SAAS solution.

Seems like a logical fallacy to assume that the past extrapolates cleanly into the future. "It was okay last time" isn't a good enough argument.

I don't know, it's not like jobs now are requesting that candidates know how to Google and stackoverflow - they're just assumed tools that help you do your job. LLMs will be in a similar category.

The mistake isn't investing time into Flutter; it's being "the Flutter guy", only knowing Flutter and only searching for Flutter jobs.

It's cool that this is coming from huggingface and it isn't just someone's hobby project. Rust is in a weird place where people are trying to push it in a bunch of places where it doesn't belong naturally (web dev, data

There's a bit of general dev snobbery to assume that data scientists can't code, or don't want to learn to code, or are able to understand so many other things but not a compiled language or a static type system.
