Some companies are not product driven. I worked at a marketing driven company, where marketing would work with sales and customers to figure out what was needed. Marketing would then pass that down to project managers who managed UX and eng

I recently overheard a Facebook employee who was on a date explaining how cool the Metaverse is and how it's going to change the world. It was really weird and cringy to hear. It's clear he's been drinking the Facebook Kool a

I always had an interest in studying ant colony behavior and seeing if I could use those concepts to program robot swarms. I never did but I'm sure it's being done.

It looks like it's not working today. Is there a bug?

This is awesome. I've become bored with Wordle and all the clones, so this is a nice new challenge.

I realized that software development as a career was getting boring. I'm a good developer and I can solve challenging problems. I quickly became a lead and found it fun coaching junior devs but I have no interest in management so that

This reminds me of an app we had at work for static content, written in JSP of course. It was made so designers and UI developers could make mostly static content pages. Someone had a good idea to make a header.jsp template for common heade

Most of their money is coming from larger customers. So the small customer afraid of going over budget isn't a major concern. They'd also rather give refunds for accidental overages than build in billing shutoffs. There are two re

You didn't get rejected from Amazon, you got rejected for a particular role. Companies recruit and interview for roles individually. You could very likely pass an interview with another team. Who knows. Usually 6-12 months after failin

Big companies put candidates into an ATS (applicant tracking system). You've unknowingly put yourself into such a database. Even if you only have them your email, they can basically get the equivalent of your resume from a variety of s

It's probably something they're not really aware of. My company does something kinda similar. We're an aggregator of sorts. We have all sorts of quality and safety rules and we de-list things all the time for violations. As l

We'll see. I "resolved" the issues and requested a site review a few days ago. I have very low expectations.

I agree. These walled gardens wouldn't be the end of the world if you could actually talk to a human customer service person to resolve these issues. The problem is that companies are willing to use algorithms that are 95% correct beca

Loans for college. I was able to pay them off in a few years by living frugally and it's afforded me a very nice paying career. I'll also say my house. It's at least doubled in value in the past 5 years.

MacOS is *nix so development things will work nice. The Mac hardware is nice, not only physically but the new professors are fast and energy efficient in ways that nobody else can compare to. If you can afford it, just get a Mac and stop th

Stripe doesn't really do user management. You still need to implement authentication and authorization yourself. Stripe does create a "customer", which you can then associate with a user or team of users in your application h

You're on a good track looking at solutions like Auth0 and Stripe. They're both pretty easy to implement and integrating them together isn't too bad. A few companies have tried to be the all in one SaaS provider (auth + payme

Anything can happen depending on what the new owners want to do. They might leave you 100% as you are. They might shut you down and fire everyone. They might replace your executive leaders, all at once or slowly. They might have you work on
