Same for me. The sense of wonderment is no longer there. It's really just a job for me nowadays. I hope that spark comes back one day.

Also library suggestions are great too if you can wait a few months. I usually suggest a bunch of books not just for me, but other people that might be on the same career path as me.

People outside SV think its full of smart people, but when you work there, you will see how real the TV show Silicon Valley is. I am convinced if not for the money, a lot of people would leave.

No. For your argument to be correct, I would have to argue that Google makes all its money through SOFTWARE. One is a BUSINESS MODEL , the other is a product category. You are confusing the two. It seems unsophisticated because it is unso

All three products you mention produce a ton of personal data/ monetary value for Google's ad machine.

They are probably intimidated by you. It will be an uphill battle because you are the only senior on the team. It's clearly a bad fit for anyone with your years of experience. No sane manager would build a team of 1-3 yoe and one 15+ y

I think yes and no. After working for 7 years+, you will hit a plateau. To break through, you will need to study on your own free time. That's because most individual work doesn't get harder after a certain level. It is the sc

At the end of the day, it's a job. If the employer wants you to grind LeetCode to get the job, then yes, you are going to have to do it. It still doesn't make it right though. I have no problem having to jump through hoops, but

I use a low-dose of melatonin 1mg and I break it in half. I also have been trying melatonin skin cream which seems to do the trick also.

If they are paying 30% less then they will be competing against late stage startups. They have a cash cow to help tilt the lever to their advantage. However that 30% is unlikely to make older workers works more because they have other fam

It’s a way to filter out more experienced candidates because they want cheap and young. Even a Meta recruiter admits to me that Leetcode has nothing to do with the job, it’s just a company requirement that no one questions.

You hit the nail on the head. News for news sake; drama for drama sake. At some point we need to realize this and give up on it. It does nothing to help us in life other than give us misery. There are enough problems in life to handle.

I recently download the Facebook app to sell something in the marketplace. It has become so bloated and un-user friendly, I question why anyone would use it on a daily basis. The new feeds is a bunch of irrelevant posts I don’t care about

I have met tons of business people that never got their business off the ground because they couldn’t build the product. For every failed technical founder, there are 10x more failed business founders. It’s not all just one or the other.

I am in the same boat as you. I realized I have all the technical chops needed to build my business, but have failed a few times now. I am now looking for a job. Who knows if the opportunity will ever arise, but I need to move on with my

I don’t. But I used to run a Yoga platform and used Stripe. None of my customers (Yoga instructors) knew about Stripe. They always requested PayPal or Square to the point, I realized using Stripe only made my life easier, but my customer

Yeah and also lots of new competitors will join making it even more difficult for Stripe to compete. Lots of banks already have their own credit card payment processors. They simply aren’t dealing with small clients at the moment because
