Club is a good start! Do you like the people there? Ask if they want to grab food together after the club meeting sometime. Or invite them over for snacks, drinks (if you can obtain in a way you're comfortable with), videogames etc at

"Frauds $200M to AT&T" should be something like "defrauds AT&T of $200M." The "to" is particularly confusing, I thought the headline was saying AT&T _gained_ $200M.

Oof, that sounds like such a terrible interview experience, I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad to say my Google interview wasn't like that at all. In my experience working at Google, code reviewers are more likely to communicate

This article describes the kind of person who launches things, meets deadlines, and is comfortable creating lots of tech debt in the process. Perhaps it _is_ a good idea to hire lots of these people at a startup, but I definitely prefer wor

Interesting! Is there a more direct link to a particular talk? I'm curious about this, and I see there is a single slide that shows a few bullet points in support of OCaml, but I don't see more than that in this link.

Huh, why do you think you do that? Do you forget about the debugger statement, or is there some other reason you think console logging might work well?

> The medium doesn't allow for stalking. Huh. Are you sure? I don't know anything about how podcast advertising works, but it sounds like you're assuming the full audio track, complete with ads, is the same everywhere and

It sounds like you would be happier to see the next sentence get into greater detail about how targets ads impact privacy today. But the article does in fact do so (look at the paragraph that starts "This model has some major drawbacks
