As someone born and raised in India, things like this were a bit "distant" from me when I was in school (it came up but I was never a victim). But the more I got to know Indians who were more privileged than I have been, the patte

Interviewed a candidate last month who was leaving Amazon (downgrading his salary as well) because acc to him, working there was having a big impact on his mental health.

Just signed up. Your idea appeals to me. Hope I can take it for a spin soon!

Apologies for the late reply. Interview process is 3 parts: 1. We do a semi-technical first call with you - getting to know your professional and technical experience, what you're looking for, presenting the team, and some high level d

Why do you call it cheating? Did the candidate actively copy a solution by deception or were they just very well prepared - to the point that they quickly recognised and solved the problem which they had seen before? Perhaps I should throw

As a recent convert from Alacritty to Kitty, I can confirm this. Kitty blew Alacritty out of the water in the first 10 mins of my experience with it. Like holy crap, it's a very well written and well thought out piece of software. And

You'll find plethora of learning documentation, but by far, the one talk/presentation that made it click for me was this one: https://kube-decon.carson-anderson.com/

One can write good and bad code in any language. It just so happens that our daily driver - procedural or functional languages, happen to be ones where a Software Engineer's mental model + Existing tooling is evolved enough to make und

Yeah, I think the difference is that I was a) Learning K8s and Helm Concepts (both different things) b) Reading/Debugging K8s and Helm YAML (both different things) c) Ending up at Helm Chart Configs (another config) d) Figuring out how

Dhall looks interesting. Thanks! I went into the rabbithole of terraform/HCL and came up with Terragrunt to do dynamic code generation. Combining it together with generous use of `make` keeps me sane, but it's not a long term solu

Ah, CDKTF seems to be the Pulumi equivalent for Terraform. I think I remember seeing it. We're far too invested into Terraform at this point to learn yet another tool. Oh well. Hopefully the next time I have to implement something like

I had to basically give up my full time role as a Data Engineer who is supposed to solve "big data" problems (Storage, Streaming, Machine Learning pipelines) etc, and had to solely focus on DevOps because there was no other expert

By co-incidence, I started reading the updated version of this book today! Fantastic resource. Question to experienced Rust people: What are some cool use-cases that you've seen for Macros?

Heh. Funnily enough, My partner and I missed an FEX from Gesundbrunnen a couple of weeks ago (it's 3 stations from where we live). Because the transition time b/w S-bahn exit and FEX entry was 1 minute, clearly not enough time to

Had been feeling quite frustrated with work lately. Corporate inertia at the same time as "move fast" in a DS/Eng setup combined with a re-org going on. Add zero devops + an "incident" as cherry on top. I'd bee

Unique questions? What's there to be so proud of in selecting questions? Are you playing jeopardy with the candidates careers? Enticing the candidates to moving on and not answering questions in what is probably the biggest interview i

I literally started learning Zig today after watching a talk on youtube by Andrew Kelly. The drop-in C compiler replacement lured me. But what surprised me immediately and the thing I'm absolutely loving is the error handling ( https:&

Question to anyone who knows better: Can people in EU take advantage of this somehow? US compensation is _crazy_ relative to what I make in Berlin for example. 2-3x or more for Senior/Staff level positions. I'm not an EU citizen,

I literally had the opposite experience - a couple of years ago I was leading a data team designing a cloud-based solution and migrating the company from bare metal. *AWS* - Lots of sales calls, but eventually redirected us to a "partn

The interesting part is that indeed, the people who write these articles are usually building large scale systems, writing books, newsletters and building companies for them, and then telling everyone else how they don't need it. Of co

The general trend in these posts (and tweet storms) is the same - pick any technology and then preach the wisdom of not using it because "You're not Google", or "You won't need it". It's a great tactic as

I have Zero respect for the Google engineers and PMs who worked on this project, scraping content without attributing to the original source, and subsequent change in the search ranking of the original source. A very bad taste in the mouth

If this can allow me to write complex SQL (lots of JOINs, Multiple CTEs building on top of each other, Analytic functions etc), then I'm definitely interested. I've created an SQL generation engine in the past and can definitely

This course is incredible. If anyone who had a hand in putting it together is reading, they have my thanks for putting out such an incredible course. I've done 2 labs and 5-6 lectures of this course so far and I find it absolutely wort
