For fucks sake. And I get downvoted for this? Are we serious? I've been articulating the problem for months now as have others. Obviously there's no intention from the benevolent dictators of HN to change anything. That's fin

+1 Same feelings, outlook and perceived quality of discourse exactly. Couldn't agree more with the proposed countermeasures. Kudos for stepping up and proposing them.

>> it’s about high performance computing. Yes. That's what I said. So, advocating for Rust in a non-high-perf requirement project makes for extra effort/optimization where it is not needed. Speed of dev, correctness, ease of

I understand the layoffs in Airbnb and the airlines. But I'm not sure I can justify the layoffs in linkedin. If anything there are more people looking for a job than before so I'd guess more people would go for the premium (paid)

I'd add to the disadvantages: * Cold start time may hurt your latency * Max timeout which makes serverless a non-option for long-running processes

That's true but it also goes the other way. Assume you're living in a mid-range western-world city, e.g. Berlin. And assume you're competing with a similar to you dev who's living in Cebu (Philippines). The difference of

I was afraid of that myself -working somewhere in a middle-ground country. That my job would soon be offshored to a cheaper country in a race-to-bottom way. But then I started looking for a remote job and I was either ignored or turned down

IMO you should have ended the interview the moment you detected that you were being treated poorly. Let alone not doing the homework.

There. That's it. All this is a far-from-optimal filter for the total strangers. Get a foot in the door with an established insider and you get right to the last interview(s). No WBs, no take-home projects.

I've done this a couple of times. All for German companies in Germany. The last one took me a weekend. They liked it and booked me a ticket for on-site. Where they whiteboarded the hell out of me and rejected me on the basis of not get

In my (bitter) experience, in the pre-covid days, they had a laptop in the meeting room and you got to choose between it and the whiteboard.

Democracy? With guys like Victor Orban? Nope. You think you live in a democracy but it is something else entirely. I'm not playing smart. I'm a Greek myself and our govt is mimicking Orban to a large degree. TBH I'm afraid th

If what gets assigned to you seems so easy and quick to do, what exactly is holding you back from doing extra in your extra time? I'm sure that if you look around you'll find a dozen ways to add value to your company. E.g. the rev

Not in Amazon myself but rumor has it that Amazon is actually the inverse of what OP describes - more at the verge of sweatshop rather than an easy-boring-sail downwind.

If things come to that I doubt the practicality of it all. But it makes easy headlines. It also makes open source an immortality project for a lot of people.

I think we are mistaking Airbnb for couchsurf. Even in the cases when I met my hosts the transaction was 100% monetary one. Not one of them, ever, offered me to stay some more free of charge - just because we got along well. And I did get a

It's called investing. Investing is another name for risking. Those people risked. Atm they are losing. In future they might gain. Heck, for years before that they were gaining big time. Unless they have a very strong lobby (such as ba

Being a regular customer in a very hot market (Dublin) I can attest that most of the places I've been to were grossly overpriced and let's not speak about the quality. Back in the fat cows era (up until a few months ago) it seemed

That probably is the best but there's no time for most people to do that as they try to offload the interviews outside workhours.

There's simply no time for that if you're already working and have a busy life (i.e. kids). One thing that I don't see much in the discussion is the assumption that we all have time to go through the interview-course material
