A Planet Money episode about AirBnB in New Orleans. TL;DR - good in the beginning when it was residents renting out rooms. Eventually developers and companies bought up vast amounts of housing in iconic neighborhoods, priced out residents,

I'm on the Option B track right now :) And there are a lot of unknowns. But I would say that I'm "learning" more at B then I would at A. I can't speak for Facebook, Google, but I did work at Amazon for about 5 years

I'm with you on #2 and #3. But I guess I've just learned to embrace it. Yeah...my day no longer has a defined start/stop, but I'm OK with that. Sometimes I just like doing laundry on a Thursday at 2PM :) It has lightened

Betterment. I don't do individual stocks anymore. I still have some because they pay out nice dividends or it's just not worth selling them. But I've been very happy with Betterment. It's definitely fire and forget.

For me, probably not. My parents live a few hours from me. When I drive, I have to stop and get gas. Nine times out of ten, I go in and get a soda and something to snack on for the remainder of the trip. Also - there are times that I'm

I don't work remotely, but I supplement my work community with community from gym, rock climbing, borrowing a friend's ATV, occasional tech meet up, etc.

For me, it starts during sprint planning. I know what work is going into the sprint, and what work is being assigned to me (we don't run sprints in the natural way of grabbing the next card that's free. I disagree with it, but it

Hm. Given an average week, probably on average 35% of my day is not working. Average being a reasonably interesting bug and/or project to sink my teeth into. Somedays I'll work 10 hours. Others I'll work 4 to 6. Unlike most p

I wonder if people are having the same experience I had when I first encountered Scala. I was the newest dev on a team that had an existing code base that was built around Spray, Akka, and Slick. And they wrapped an Actor around Slick so it

Was this your experience? I just went through an SDE loop last week (still waiting to hear the results), but I got no "aha" questions. 2 strictly coding questions and 1 open-ended design question (with pseudo-code). It was very st

Don't get me wrong. My managers were (are) extremely smart. They did know how to "code" for the most likely definition of the word code. But that doesn't mean I would trust them to write a feature or to review what I wro

> As an engineer, your manager WILL BE a former SDE. This is not strictly true. I was at Amazon for 4 years (2004 - 2008 in Supply Chain and Retail), I had 3 managers. Only 1 of them was a former SDE.

Depends on the type of options you have. If you have ISO, yeah. I'd probably wait because there are "games" you can play to not impact your total tax bill for the year (i.e. not trigger AMT). If they are NQSO, the difference

Yeah. The site had no information on it. But I wonder, is LinkedIn really "the" way to connect professionally? My personal bit of anecdotal experience is that it isn't for me. I was on LinkedIn for maybe 15 years? I accepted

I'll probably be down voted for this, but I don't see how this has anything to do with introversion. This reads more like "The shy person's guide to getting noticed". I'm an introvert. After a particular long w

The problem I see with your question is that you have a bias towards a solution. "The goal of that question from my perspective is to watch them solve a problem that requires recursion" I wouldn't use recursion for my solutio

All the drivers default to FSYNC_SAFE? Maybe the Java one didn't get the memo. It's set to ACKNOWLEDGED by default. https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/blob/master/src... I like Mongo.
