This suggestion is common to the point of banality, but it really does benefit hugely from having "a mailing list of several dozen friends and acquaintances" to bootstrap it. I've been trying something very similar to the a

Tell me when they stop hiring 80% of their devs from the same 5 top CS schools. Not "FDEs," not solution architects, not SREs, not BD/"Echos," not tech support. I get that it's a consulting org with a "boo

Specifically CS7210 is demanding because of its assignments. The assignments come from UW's CSE452, have very little direct connection with the course lectures, and require you to implement a Paxos-like system correctly, basically in o

Has anyone tried the courses in the ML or core CS areas? What'd you think?

My point is that, at least anecdotally, certainty is rare. Most of the time, for most people, the experience is less "yes!" and more "I guess." More widely applicable advice would be how to deal with compromise, not how

You've been trying for a long time. What do you do if the job that makes you an offer doesn't excite you? What if the house that feels like home needs more repairs than you can afford? What if the program that accepts you has crap

You might think so, but a lot of people can tell when you're ELIZA-ing them to death, and they will learn to avoid you. There are a lot of people on HN who want a technical manual for how to party, and a lot of them keep telling each o

The weird vibe people are picking up from this essay is because half the phases are about customer service . As in, the author was working as a waiter or a coach at the time. A waiter's job is to keep your butt in the seat, get you to

I eat at Chinese restaurants where my waiter is a QR code. Please pour olive oil in my lap, hold my hands, and tell me I'm special.

OP's son programs confidently in 6 languages and develops toy compilers and custom hardware on his own. If he is "dreading the intro classes" already, imagine what two years at a typical community college will do to his momen

The AWS GenAI Loft is real. The Web3 Soiree is real. I'm not sure which part is satire.

Totally! The other day I was at the Web3 + AI soiree at the AWS GenAI Loft and met up with an awesome CTO prospect that I could pitch to a buddy's blockchain startup, we grabbed a few beers, amazing dude!... ...is this really the openn

To the OP, as a participant in one of your previous reading groups and an organizer of similar groups: What are your goals for these reading groups? How completely are you meeting them? "Goals" in a broad sense, anywhere from &quo

You are playing white. It's your move. Describe a strategy where on your second move you declare checkmate. Your strategy can have decision branches, but no branch is longer than two moves.

This is why I never focus on just one thing at a time. When I'm doing a standup with my team, they also see me make a sandwich on Zoom. I never just "meet up" with people. If we're meeting up, it'll be at the gym or

The creator of FizzBee presented it at the most recent meeting of the SF Systems Club. The talk was some kind of meandering hybrid between presentation and tutorial and went far over time, but FizzBee itself sounds rich in features and simp

No, unless by "wealthy" you mean that the average student at Stanford/Berkeley/MIT doesn't come from a poor family. My experience is primarily with Palantir. Almost all the founders I know worked together at Palanti

In 2021, my employer was a major customer of Fivetran. Our Postgres syncs routinely broke and required time-consuming resyncs from scratch. Dan's essay is dated 2022. It is now 2024, so maybe something has changed since then on the cod

I get that the title of the post is wildly overstated. The author mentions a couple of meetups he has organized or heard of. Calling that a "reawakening" is... well, maybe if the author specifically means the NYC tech scene. That

This is yet another editorial that rehashes cliches about "toxic masculinity" and the "loneliness epidemic." Not to say these cliches don't have a basis in reality, but let's remember that this is an editorial
