It might be a good time to take a vacation. If there isn't a lot of pressure for deadlines. Some time off can give you more perspective. It seems like you are lethargic because the role is easy for you. If you like the place, and you w

It's an interesting analogy, but employees aren't cards. One important difference is that employees get better over time, assuming there is a decent culture of communication and mentorship. Maybe you hired a 7 of clubs, but given

Some people enjoy being close to a city for other reasons that work. Some will go into the city for entertainment, they will want to go to a restaurant, a show, or see a sporting event. Some people like to be reasonably close to an airport.

Another way to look at this is that 2^ 33 is about 8.5 billion >>> pow(2, 33) 8589934592 There are less than 8.5 billion people in the world, so you could just create a map from each person to a number in the set.

> Queues are an inappropriate construct for managing work. I disagree. A queue is used to assign priority to a project. When there is more work than people to do the work, you need to prioritize and triage. Just because there is a queue

That seems pretty productive for an IC. If you are spending half of your time writing code, that's pretty good. You seem to be driven and a self starter, which is why you feel like garbage when you don't hit deadlines that you&#x2

How does a subprocess deadlock happen in Python? Why would this be specific to Python, and not caused by deadlock in general? I agree that 50 lines of bash is generally more maintainable than 200 lines of Python.

This seems like an architecture issue, rather than a framework issue. At some point you need to split these 400K and 40 devs out into different applications. Different application should not be able to access each other's database, bu

Even if you don't agree with the coding practices, at least it enforces consistency throughout the code base. It might not be the consistency that you desire, but it much better than every author having their own style.

There are a lot of people who want their own space, but can't afford their own apartment. It is ridiculously easy to rent out spaces like this in Southern CA. If you post an ad for it on Craigslist on Friday, it will be rented by Sunda

Yes, you are correct. All of the Californians should sell their over valued houses and move to Oregon. There is no sales tax, and you don't have to pump your own gas. I hear that Bend is nice!

The System Design question where you design an elevator system, was in vogue around 2015. Two different companies asked me the same question. It looks like these folks really bought into it.

Interesting. What was the number theory trick? I like these sorts of problems. If the role required some math along with software engineering, then it could have been a question that provided a good signal.

You should take a few days off. If you are in the US, there is a holiday coming up. It doesn't appear that they have anything pressing for you to work on. Take a day or two off for yourself, and then start looking for another job.

You could just pick the one you want to present to the new prospective employer. This seems like a non-issue. It's like complaining about having a back pains, because you have to carry your wallet flush with cash.

Right, this is the sort of thing that can really hurt your career progression. At this rate, you'll never be able to work three simultaneous jobs. Or you could just quit your primary job on your resume, but keep working there so you ca

It sounds like the stakeholder doesn't know what they want, which is why you are stuck in this Ground Hog day process of meetings. Is this a decision that could easily be reversed? If that's the case, then if a bad decision is mad

You are correct that there are a record number of jobs. However, the person you are responding is talking about the economic situation in the UK. I'm pretty sure those links to the Fed reports do not characterize the economic situation
