I’ve worked at half of these places and they’re all doing yaml massaging and grpc sculpting. Not much more than basic KTLO with some regularly scheduled feature work and reliability heroics.

I have been paying about (premium lost from rolling puts) 1k/month for the last 4 months to short Tesla. I made about 12k on the last dip so I’m profitable but I’m just waiting for the bubble to burst. Today I doubled down when it went

I’ve been making over $500k a year since 2020 working fully remote; everyone I know with 7+ YOE at big tech or unicorns is also making 500k TC which often appreciates to ~700k+ with the current market. We’re just writing dumb gRPC services

I agree with this take. People tend to frame college loans as predatory but the majority of the forgiveness was federal loans. There are already amnesty programs for teachers, social workers, etc. The solution to bail out individuals for th

I don’t think they’re as beholden as you think. If those companies went down, a balkanization of tech would probably emerge, with regional preferences. Probably would spur innovation and consumers would quickly adapt.

A middle ground: announce that Discord is insecure and you’ve found a zero-day. Perhaps a trusted 3rd party exists that can attest publicly (Mitre?) after you show a demo. Then customers are aware, Discord is pressured to act/shamed, a

I've got two toddlers and still manage to get outside for a run everyday. Used the Bob stroller when they were younger, now they ride bikes and I jog with them. When my son wouldn't sleep through the night for his first year (pre-

The solution is just-in-time access controls, context-aware authorization for things like database access (i.e. given a justification with an approval workflow, the employee can access a user X for 2 hours). These are the guard rails agains

I always tell this cautionary tale when talking to friends turned founders. I was going to a 1-1 with a Director (Bob) in a FANG company. As I was walking to his desk, another Director and a Senior Director (Gus) called out to him that the

The post spends too much time speculating about how CVE is mismanaged without providing anything beyond their unmet expectations. Pointing to VulnCon attendance as an act of betrayal seems pretty reductive. Didn’t make it through the rest,

Those weren’t riders throwing them in, they were vandals who made a game out of it for social credit.

For better or worse, tech has become a cyclical job and we’ve seen big firms printing billions due almost annual layoffs. This started around Covid and will continue likely as the new norm. Prior to that, I only saw layoffs during market do

I experienced this environment a few times: when I was in school in the CS lab, when I was working at AWS on a research team building a database and when I was working at a startup (early days, like 5 people). The startup scaled to 100s and

The courts are litigating these decisions as we speak. The institutions are working, slowly. At the end of the day, student visas aren’t durable when you violate the school policy. If you’re on a visa, or here illegally, you’re on thin ICE.

Most cars already emit RF signals for WiFi, Bluetooth and 5G. These can be fingerprinted along with the physical attributes to increase accuracy. I’m in support of better investigative tools and stricter governance. I’m not worried that my

Block the DNS if you don’t want dockerhub images. Rewrite it to your artifactory. This is really not complicated and your not entitled to unlimited anonymous usage of any service.

I think the real metric should be childhood household income. That transcends race or gender and universally inhibits the child in almost every measurable way.

You may be committing some type of violation of privacy laws if you're contacting them via phone and they're on the do not call list. Because they work at a company does not mean that you and the employee have a business relations

I think there is a really nuanced check-and-balance system that has extreme visibility for the federal legal system: - investigators need approval from a prosecutor to move forward with investigations, and ultimately have to present their e

I imagine a couple interviews with HSI agents would get someone to cough up a statement that they did not intend to fill the role. If I were a line manager, I would not rely on the company’s lawyers to protect me from prosecution.
