Your comment seems like a variation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman . The parent commenter says "I personally experienced X and it was not great for me" and then you say "what you experi

I call bullshit. The sort of attitude expressed in this thread is important, because it pushes us forward. The author identifies real UX shortcomings with current software. Nevertheless, the assertion that "almost everything on compute

I have a similar observation around the idea of "working in public" by, e.g. blogging or tweeting a lot about your work. Proponents of this approach say that it will help your career immensely, and while I believe that it can I&

The S3 files are mirrored to a local drive as a collection of plain .md, .jpg, etc. The Athena search index is secondary in importance to the source data and not necessarily permanent (presumably the options for "take this folder full

This is less difficult than you're implying. It's true that selecting the Stripe of 2025 is difficult; you need to pick between companies that are only 3 years old. Similarly, if you want to select the Google of 2040 , you would

As someone who has been a non-traditional candidate in the past, and also leveraged non-traditional candidates as an employer, this is amazing. Thank you for doing it! I would have used this myself in the past, and I'm confident that b

This all sounds eerily close to data, which is what I'm looking for :) What is the source for your figures?

Is that actually true , though? I've seen anecdotal reports from certain Uber drivers or whatnot, but I have not seen data. (It seems counterintuitive that such a huge amount of contractors would continue to choose that work over trad

Your local adjustments aren't competitive, though. I live in a low cost of living area, but I could easily make at least 50% more than what your salary calculator shows at any of a number of local companies. And, in practice, I work re
