I read quite a bit about what the author wrote at google and worked with people that had worked with him. I only heard good things and he seems very smart. He wrote some articles that I remember was obviously wrong, and maybe this is one of

That's what the mobsters say as well, and somehow even they get a bad reputation. Can't people see we are trying to do them a service?

I guess you are partly right, but parent said "proper JIT" would work well without any evidence to what that means. Surely not everyone is doing the "improper" JIT.

My point is that right now there can only live x amount of people close to FAANG headquarters due to traffic and SFH. If significantly more people could live here the value of the remaining SFH would go down, at least I think so. My theory

Most effective people are not only because they are magical 10x people, but also because they have the right experience and knowledge in the situation. Skills and knowledge the company might have given them over years. I think there are way

Maybe it was the environment, that a lot of these people could be better if supported the right way? Or to say it simply (and please understand I know nothing about you so it is not meant as a criticism of how you personally work), maybe it

But the land goes up in value because it is all single family homes so it becomes a limiting resource. If you put up high quality high density apartment complexes next to Caltrain stations land cost would go down. Which is why the voters do

There are mobile home parks in silicon valley next, right next to houses worth way more than $1 million. Pretty sure you would find mobile homes next to $4 million houses. There is a mobile home park in walking distance to Google HQ. Those

Isn't the problem that is is not easy to scale some things up and down? This sounds a lot like no true scotsman.

I think if you can it is almost always better to do it on the open market. The exception being that there is a lot of middleman involved, loan agents and purchase agents. So cutting out these should save at least 5%.

Norway and Finland fines proportional to your yearly salary. Of course there are some problems with that, but in general I like that system more.

Oh man I got so many speeding tickets in Switzerland (like 5 in two years). They were all super minor like $50 or something? I heard it does not apply to all cantons, the Italian ones speeding is more OK. All that being said I really dislik

In Norway they put one of those radar boxes with a camera in places like this. They even put a sign a mile before saying there is going to be a box since the objective is not to catch people but to make the average traffic slow down.

In the bay area there seems to be some companies that do this. Every time I turn on the radio there is an ad for "John buys bay area houses". I think they do exactly what you say, give a quick cheap offer, then do some fixing and

I was going to mention sales tax, but many other taxes are also double taxation I think like property tax or gas tax or whatever is not income tax since you will pay for them with whatever you have left after paying for income tax.

Congrats on your child! I can see both sides, but one thing to think about is that coming back to software engineering after 5-10 years away would be brutal. It’s also a place it’s famously easy to coast and take it easy for a while. But if
