I did both and I can tell you I became a much better engineer at Google. The "average" does make a difference.

I learnt a lot about design and coding practices at Google than anywhere else I've worked.

No it's not. Microsoft is way different from Google.

Right search , maps , YouTube all run smoothly because of a "mess". Google code is some of the cleanest most organized I've seen.

TVCs get many of the same perks full time Googlers do. You can always interview if you want to be a full time.

Thinking in APIs and contracts always helps reduce complex problems to slightly more tractable ones.

Sorry the TVC experience is nowhere close to the full Googler experience.

Yes because lots of Google left to join FB. And yet, I've heard everyone say in terms of pure engineering and tooling Google is far ahead. That's still F&G though not AAN.

Regarding API inputs here is what my manager said that's stuck with me. Imagine your API entry points as the surface of the ocean, you've got to keep the garbage out. From then on all internal functions can make reasonable assumpt

Engineering culture at Google is vastly different than Amazon. Even Facebook which is more product oriented and iterates faster than focusing on the "right engineering design" first.

FAANG don't share the same engineering culture.

My quality of code has been immensely helped by code reviews by senior people. My team also has a good culture of getting feedback on design. I've learnt a lot on designing with security on mind - sandboxes, SELinux etc. I had no clue

So it's okay to not tell the world about the exploit in the first place ? If Apple posted this against Google you wouldn't say a word. You'd just be happy for Google to get bad press no matter what they do. This post made th

Right, no respect for the work and effort they put in. Arm chair critics being "less sympathetic".

He heads the entire government. Doesn't mean he goes to every launch, announcement etc..

Please stop calling anyone who doesn't agree with you "left" brigade and "anti national". It insults everyone's intelligence. You don't know me or my political views. You know my opinion on this issue, let

You are telling me ISRO spent no resources catering to this visit. Even 0.1% of resources, mindshare and energy wasted on landing day is stupid IMO. Do all speeches, visits the next day. Modi was clearly there for a photo op.

What else was it if not a PR exercise ? Was he helping mission control ? IMO leaders should let scientists focus in crunch time. He could have come one day later to give a speech or something.

The successful walk had many human lives lost not just money.

Speaking of quality. ISRO has a tremendous record of successful missions.

Why should there be something distracting on launch day ?

No one has not stood by the scientists. That would be an incredibly stupid move.

The budget is tiny compared to national welfare schemes. India's remote sensing satellites have helped countless farmers as well. Not to mention the inspiration it gives to future generations.

What a shifting of goalposts. It's not Japan's problem that you can't make it profitable.
