You are oncall on your team's services. No matter how old those are. The frequency depends on your team size, and the level of tickets/incidents depend on the quality of the codebase. I have seen everything from one high sev ticke

That depends on the team/org you are, if you are in some cosy team in CDO, that just maintain a couple of services that other internal services use, that aren't really that important, then of course is not toxic. Talk to the folks

That's exactly my position, in my case my team is fully remote (a niche little team in AWS), I am not sure if I want to buy a place where I live either, a team reorg, or leadership change can destroy my life plans in a minute. I think

I get were you are coming from, but what I'm trying to say is: when someone considered evil by us (in the west) dies, would you hold the same standards? I respect what you do, and I know is super hard. I don't mean to be toxic or

This is pretty off brand for HN, really. Even if you don't agree, that doesn't make it "flamebait" , the queen also was fine with sending Alan Turing to jail for being gay, I can find many other things along those lines.

I agree, I was just suggesting is not that different. The problem should be addressed in both places.

If you understand how Cuba works, you will get why this is the same as funding the government, not the people. The blockade in Cuba is more internal than external. There is plenty of resources online that shows the human rights violations,

1. Roe v Wade? 2. There are many evangelical churches in the US that send money to dictatorships, for example, [1], [2] , I can collect you a longer list. 3. This point is clearly very specific to Japan, I can't find a bijection within

@yegg Even if you don't agree with one side, you can't consider the side to be "spam", "disinformation" or "propaganda" and hope people will just be OK with that. What is spam to you, is useful inform

Can you imagine if they start putting ("privacy friendly" ads) in VSCode's side bar? I think people will complain for a little bit, and just accepted, they would probably pay a couple of Youtube Tech influencer like Google is

I dont have struggle, they reach out to me on LinkedIn. LinkedIn helps them to find you, unless you are just hoping they would just guess your email, etc... lol

Maybe not what OP is looking for, but for folks who can't afford news subscriptions I would recommend ( https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome ).

Very, I know people who work there, they open sourced their crypto engine [1]. They also struggle with people using WickrMe for bad stuff because of how little info they collect from users (no phone required, true e2ee encryption, and so on

In my first job, the company laid off 200 people, and they found out when they couldn't use their badge to enter the building. Corporations love to do that type of things.

Microsoft is known and memed on the "big tech community" for paying "peanuts" (less than other tech companies). Is the rest-and-vest kinda of place, or so they say. I'm sure there are some teams that work pretty har

I agree, on the startup side, the only "brilliant" player is the founder(s), and they just need people to pump code, do marketing, etc... non-stop, because "they believe on the mission". I don't like the Leetcode in

I think the 10x thing is about perception, I worked with Principal Engineers at AWS who designed products used by millions, and now similarly at Google, and they just have a ton of experience in a niche area and can leverage that well, wit

Maybe the bar in the team was very low, and that person is just normal, and only have to work that little to do better. When you get to a place where every team member is very good, the 10x engineer cease to exist. I'm sure there are v

Maybe, but that's very unlikely. Usually FAANG workers (I'm one myself) if they are young will move to new hot startups in the hopes of a big pay off at IPO time, or if they are older ,then will take a small pay cut for better WLB

I agree, is a complete fallacy, 10x engineers spend 10x the time solving whatever problem they have. People often confused domain knowledge(gotten through spending time on it, while other were having kids, dinners, you know, ... a life) wit

That have not been my experience so far, every time I see a "10X engineer" (worked at several big tech companies) either they have been working in the problem for years or they put 12+ hours of works every day.I don't believe

I work at Google, and previously at Amazon, I was a bit upset reading your comment, but I have to be honest with myself, you are right. I "admire" more indiehackers and other technical founders than Staff Engineers and the like at
