Yeah I realized you are at a significant disadvantage by not interviewing in python especially when you get some problem that requires parsing some input. IMO it is worth it to spend a couple of weeks practicing python before doing any tech

It will be interesting to see how these companies evolve their business strategy once PE/VCs are pressuring them to IPO/get bought out. It seems like any customer that is large enough to have significant billing would just bring t

Yeah I agree, they are not incentivized to fix scaling/bots because they get a fee every time a ticket is sold. It is in their best interest for the ticket to be sold as many times as possible.

Have there been any reports of true severe clear air turbulence (where the pilot cannot control the plane) or are all of these cases not technically severe because the pilots were in control the entire time and it was just a bumpy ride? Ano

Yeah this smells like promotion oriented architecture. I have a hard time believing that a logistics company that built DynamoDB and uses it extensively can make it work but uber cannot. The 6m in savings does not properly account for thing

Would you ever go off on your own to trade solo or is that something that just does not work without a ton (like 9 figures) of capital and a pretty large team?

IMO their next big leap will be to get it cheap enough and integrated with enough real time sources to become the default search engine. You can really flip the entire ad supported industry upside down if you integrate with a bunch of publi

Does that mean dilute the cap table and then suddenly the PE shares are equivalent to like 4 employee shares or something? Or the PE shares have some special dividend that the employee ones do not?

Yeah slash equity grants for engineers by 20%, and then move into maintenance mode.

It could be that is the number we always used, and deals seem to get approved with that number. Anything less might be questioned as not enough premium since there is precedent for a 30% premium during a buyout.

They limited the fund size so employees frequently got distributions from the fund instead of just rolling over their investments. However, the distributions were still in the millions of dollars. They also got into some tax trouble with un

I know people who do/did work for a professional team. The justification is there is a huge line of people who want to “work in sports” so they can underpay the front office staff, and it is true. I knew a few people who stayed interns

Anytime I see a ground stop due to a software update it always reminds me of when Delta's data center caught on fire https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/08/data-... .

The merger was completed in 2010, so the Obama administration. However, the country was coming out of the great recession and the last thing the administration needed was bad PR for "stopping a merger that would prevent people from los

Yeah I made a project with Supabase for the backend, Vercel for the frontend (literally all you do it git push and it handles deployments), and then Nuxt.js for the frontend. It was pretty simple for someone who had no frontend experience.

I haven’t used kubernetes in a few years, but do they have a good UI for operations? Your example of the AWS console where you can just log in and scale something in the UI but for kubernetes. We run something similar on AWS right now, duri

Google also has released Guice/Dagger for Java dependency injection. Angular never really took off, but guice/dagger are widely used. Also I am pretty impressed with Flutter as an alternative to react native.

They use Premea Blue cross for administration of the plan. They created a joint venture with JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway several years ago called Havaen to try and fix insurance; however, it was shut down. https://hbr.org&#x

Personally I have seen it saying stuff like: public someComplexLogic() { // Complex logic goes here } or another example when the code is long (ex: asking it to create a vue component) is that it will just add a comment saying

I doubt ever, consumers have been proven to select the cheapest airline ticket. The average once-a-year flier likely has no idea what aircraft they are even flying on.

Edge device that is communicating with web clients on a network would be my guess. People use WebRTC (mainly the Go library though) to create Remote Desktop implementations. Ex: https://github.com/imtiyazs/webrtc-remote

Amazon was the one that came to mind with prime air/drone delivery https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/amazon-hires-former-boei... I guess it all really started with everyone’s favorite CEO of GE, Jack Welch.
