I wouldn't expect anyone to enjoy wfh in a tiny apartment or anything like that. I'm watching mountain houses that have sat vacant for months get rented and I'm quite tempted myself. It's not like I can walk to anywhere

Doing what they said (and I'm good at it) just stresses me out to the point that I don't even sleep the night before. I'm sure it's terrible for my performance the next day of said stressful thing, too. It also causes my

This is a good list and lets you know if they're globally competitive or not. I'm not sure how much it's been maintained since covid so ymmv; https://github.com/yanirs/established-remote

My company generates revenue and my talent directly affects the revenue. The salary that you give me is correlated to that revenue that I help to generate. The company figured out my value when they made me an offer. My location during any

Gitlabs salaries are historically low compared to what I'd expect, but their talent is also much more global than a lot of big tech corps so while you won't find someone from CA expecting a "high" CA salary there you&#x2

I was already sick of getting sick 3-5 times a year just being in an open office, the fact that I'm more aware now that I can get something that will do more than knock me out of being able to code for a week is a huge deterrent to me

I quit a great job to work remotely 4 months ago after about 15 years of trying to do it. I feel like the universe is having an absolute riot at my expense right now. This is not a fun time to be new at a company. It's so hard to focus

I wfh and I won't work for a company that bases my pay on my zipcode (Gitlab). I want complete flexibility on where I live. There are plenty of remote companies that don't do that, especially now post-covid. I wish more people wou

Yeah I just took a WFH job and if I HAD to be near one city that would really limit my flexibility and is a huge negative. My company does bi-yearly get-togethers, or did.

I won't go near an open office after COVID19 and I doubt I'm alone, I think things will change greatly.

I'm on the ops-architect end and I read design docs and usually steal all of the plantuml and everything else I can find as nobody ever (aside from the developer of the feature) can help me track down or troubleshoot problems and I fin

In Virginia anything over 80mph is automatic reckless driving, it's a big deterrent. Only speeding ticket I ever got as a kid. Also I don't know anything about Arkansas but we grow up in Virginia being completely afraid of State T

Kiwi is the only one I'm aware of with a real dark/night mode for the entire browser. I was sold just on that.

Congrats on graduating! I started my career during the 2008 recession. I hope things are going more smoothly for you. My biggest advice and what I wish I'd known back then or heeded better: Networking will be your savior during this. F

I'm not here to convince you that Amazon sucks or something, I was really directing it to the thread OP who is upset that they're not helping as much as they'd like to. The way that AWS is tossed around/described almost

What you were supposed to do was not go work at Amazon, just like plenty of us won't work for Facebook, etc. Amazon being a terrible place to work isn't something new or foreign to us SWEs. Hell, every time they tried to interview

by mjayhn 6y ago
Beware, I have a feeling Amazon is one of those "if they say they wont rejoin or recommend the company in their exit interview we won't allow them to be rehired" companies.

It's possible, but they're trying to hire some public-facing k8s engineers which makes me believe there is actually some veracity to that PAAS claim. If they're going to offer an "Apple Cloud" or something they&#x27

So are these rumors about apple coming out with a PAAS/workload system that I've been hearing for 2-3 years starting to turn true? They've started hiring a lot of kubernetes engineers and afaik they were a mesosphere shop unt

I must be missing some hidden meaning in these wikipedia link/lyrics because what I'm getting from them is a song about a guy who broke out of prison for killing a guy who raped his sister when he was 20 and was in jail for 18 yea

My problem is I can't multitask during a zoom at all. I'm so anxious that someone will ask me a question so I'm tuned in the entire time while everyone else is pretty obviously off working on the side. I also find that I star

This is purely anecdotal but I'm buying as little as I can to not overwork mail carriers. I just moved into a new place and I have no art and while it's not critical to me it's something I'd typically start buying right

Because the lucky few on top of the tld chain are still making fortunes. Ironically I see the internet going back to keywords/search terms in the future (aol keywords). I hope the tld hegemony is eventually a distant memory.

Can you tell me what you did to set it to 25watt? I swear I've tried this a few times going through Throttlestop tutorials with different usb-c chargers (from the stock 67w up to 97w) and either that option was greyed out or I never go

This is Ice Lake?

It seems like we're just waiting on bios updates for Ice Lake to have a proper thermal profile. I'm not sure. What happens is the laptops thermal profile is way under the Intel recommended profile. I believe it starts to throttle
