I read this as "we expected to stay at the levels we were at at the beginning of 2022, but instead things went back (down) to the levels of 2019".

Four months of pay may not be that much if you moved to another country or continent with your family for this job. While it's probably easy to land on your feet and find something with a good pay in SV or London, it's probably no

Even if we assume the changes are for good and will "fix" the company, asking people to work nights and week-ends while conducting mass layoffs in less than a week is a "treat employees nicely" issue. Actually, I think w

I'm a Googler and, like many googlers, I ask this type of questions during interviews. The recommendation for interviewers is to select a mix between past stories and hypothetical scenarios.

Is it really? I'm sure there are plenty of candidates giving up because they received a competing offer and wouldn't wait, but I think it's reasonable to expect a hiring process to take a month, even in small companies. Edit:

It can be reduced to ~3-4 weeks from first contact to offer if you are in a rush. It's as easy as saying like "I just got an offer from $competitor". The process may take months because candidates usually ask for time to prep

It seems unreasonable to me to expect to be B1 in 6 months with 2 hours of class per week. I've been learning German 2 hours a week + homework for 2 years and I'm not yet B1 in German. We are 4 students with one teacher and, from

My reading is that OP was disappointed that they weren't leveled as senior, yet, they left the company because they were working on the tech they want to be an expert of. It strikes me as a misunderstanding on how career evolution work

Macron says things a year before the next presidential election. Assuming they really set this project in motion, there's plenty of time for the next government to cancel it.

I would expect more transparency on the objectives of C-levels and how their compensation is impacted when they don't meet these objectives. I'm not saying they are doing a bad job, but I really can't say if they've been

It may be more acceptable to have more frequent outages if the impact radius (number of websites or services impacted) is smaller.

The biggest difference is that the software I keep running in production is 100% made in-house. Previously, I was running a system built on top of open-source software (Hadoop and Kafka, in particular). It has a lot of benefits: * we have a

It can be the role of SREs to build and provide the infrastructure improving the reliability of rollouts, allowing the rest of the company to build reliable products without compromising the velocity.

I'm not sure this is a realistic benchmark. A couple of remarks: 16 workers is not that much considering that modern servers can have a lot of cores available, and I expect that the more workers you need the more likely you'll hit

by martius 6y ago
What matters is that the server app uses as much CPU as it can when it needs it. With a sync server, a worker is inactive as long as it is waiting on IO, so you need enough workers to maximize the chance that all workers are busy, else, som

There are "good" French companies where you can grow a career and get a good salary. What surprises me is that these companies seem to either hide their French roots, and are often ignored by the academic world. When I was student
