Focusing on non-substitutes helps. Dishes that play the strengths of vegetables taste far better than dishes that only attempt to replicate meat.

No otherwise I would've left after four. The hardest part to leave was my team. I did really like the people I worked with.

I quit Google after five years and moved to NYC right before the pandemic started. Working on my startup now. Pays infinitely less but makes me a lot happier. I love getting put in situations I would've never dreamed I would be in. My

Can this also view all open PRs across multiple repos? One issue I've struggled with with polyrepos is having an organization-wide PR list. Having exposure to the entire org helps with cadence and visibility but PRs are typically silo&

> I tend to think this is an outlier- for the most part, CS theory back in the 1970's did not hard math. CS theory always had hard math. Software engineering didn't (and still mostly doesn't) but also in the 1970's so

Our professors would often mention tips and tricks that weren't in the textbook. It's only through lecture notes that we could remember them given how much information there was. After all, if the lecture is just the textbook, why

If you're getting their resume, maybe they didn't succeed and they might have ethics :)

Seems like a pretty good strategy to me. It's cool that one employee can drive such a large change. Google should get better at retaining talent though to mitigate this type of risk.

I worked in finance for a bit. The knowledge moat for tech is far greater than that of finance. I wouldn't be surprised if a tech company breaks into finance and traditional finance companies can't compete with the tech moat.

Having dealt with Agora's RN SDK, honestly looking back I think it would've been easier to just write two completely separate native apps.

Unfortunately, firefighting is kind of fun :( At a previous job that had very stable infra, we'd joke that we should cause some production outages for fun because it was so boring when everything worked.

Most professionals are pretty reasonable if you don't actually need their services. From handymen to lawyers, I've had people tell me I don't actually need them. I mean I've also suggested at no cost that a site could be
