I am about a decade into this career and only 5 months ago signed an offer that, assuming absolute max bonus every cycle, barely gets me to a bit shy of half of that TC. Opportunities to change that outside of FAANG are few and far between,

To skip the "move your scripts to standalone files" step some devs don't like, consider something like https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint which runs Shellcheck over inline scripts within Containerfiles

The Rust ecosystem gets so much right that honestly, even as a career-long Python developer myself (and Rust for many years, but that's less of my point), they honestly probably do know how to build a good devxp better than much of t

I interviewed for a Sr Software Engineer gig there in 2022 and had a laughably negative live-leetcode experience where the interviewer was visibly zoned out almost the entire time and mostly just awkwardly stared at the camera while I found

This + when I lived there (2015-17), large segments of the Pedway would close at seemingly arbitrary hours, making it pretty common to have to head back to street level anyway to get between, say, Millennium Station and the State/Lake

Minus the camera thing, I'd almost say a PinePhone-esque device is the fit, given the dodgy telecoms stack (which isn't a dealbreaker to you). Otherwise, though, sounds like a phone in permanent airplane mode (or at least, without

I have no idea why anyone would assume assertions made in social media comments are true. I could write "Humans have actually always had blue skin and hair, but due to a cosmic ray warping our ocular nervous response systems 1000 years

So not only did you pull the original comment's assertions out of your _bag of holding_ but rather than citing sources when asked, you doubled down on "well if you know you know" and claim that the (often relatively small) in

This article seems to cover little new ground and struggles to find a real... point? voice? authority? to me. Like, okay, yes, proprietary applications exist and have limited Linux support. This has been true for my literal entire human lif

There are flocks of *at least* mechanical and software engineers in Everett (and I think maybe Renton, too) - source: many of them are my friends.

Yeah, at this point $127k for a SDE in Seattle MSA is... high-junior through low/mid-mid level salary. A senior title in Seattle MSA should easily be clearing $160k base cash. Maybe drop those numbers slightly in the startup scene, p

Yep. The Chevy Bolt (not EUV version) was the absolute perfect size in EVs - nice compact hatchback, plenty of storage room, still a standard 5-seat layout (albeit the seats were... not the most comfortable ever), could park it absolutely a

I have had tinnitus for about 7 or 8 years now in varying intensities and somehow have never thought to do this as an extended exercise (a good 30 seconds of massaging just now). I'm not gonna say I heard silence for the first time in

Outside of SEO, marketing, and other sales-adjacent purposes, software developers are some of the only people with indie blogs anymore, which I think explains this. The practical difference between posting on my blog about ugly code and pos

I don't use the app, I use a tab in Firefox. I even alluded to "alternatively, we could tax software companies for their waste". We're on the same team, bud, I just also have to accept the reality I currently live in: to

Sure, but something as mundane as licensing being the reason we can't even try is kinda depressing. One ZFS-grade filesystem that could have Windows, Linux, and BSD implementations, allowing robust external storage with all the promise

Heh, and then I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum: I can happily get by with the CPU power offered by Skylake (or maybe even older) devices, but need 32GB RAM to be "mostly comfortable, usually" in my developer workflows.

The problem is that RTO companies refuse to recognize that, and are making "do it or get fired" demands of employees regardless of where they find it productive to work. Those more productive in an office have always had coworking
