This is a great point. Nobody interviewing at Facebook is unsure if they want to work at Facebook.

You're probably right :)

I don't think it's ok, but the compensation and competition are both so high they can get away with it. A senior dev at Google in Manhattan will make more than a general practice physician in the same area. This is for a job that

I struggled early in my career with interviews. Granted this was 2008-2010 era so the job market was not great, especially in a not-quite-urban non-coastal city where I was for a junior developer. But something did change when I stopped tre

Not sure it should really be "hard if not impossible" to "behave properly."

Replying here since your other comment is flagged (IMO only because of the profanity, so if you want more people to see your comments maybe learn how to form an argument without it): > It's not my job to educate you. This is a commo

I would have expected nice pickup trucks or any TRD Pro trim Toyota. I'd be curious if the LLM's own self-censorship would prevent it from reporting truly disturbing things. Maybe add one legitimately bad thing into the middle of

I would bet a majority of engineers at FAANG companies are there primarily - or in large part - because of the prestige.

And let's be honest 77 pages of telegram chats would probably take 15 or 20 minutes to read. It's not exactly Proust.

I've bounced back and forth between IC and EM (intentionally) and I've seen some that get very very close then completely blow it with one of these. One in particular would put people through management training for a full day eac

> You do not want to be on the open labor market after 50 This might be true in something like software development (I don't strictly think it is but I'm at least open to the argument) but it's definitely not true in acade

It really only works in orgs that are large enough to accept a bit of bloat, mature enough to have good managerial practices and invest in growing managers, and where the new manager has only a couple reports (2 is the perfect number). So y

IMO if an EM is taking the fun stuff, or the high-profile promo packet stuff, that's a symptom of a lot of very bad things. My boss is an upper-level EM and has at least a few PRs in a couple projects every sprint, and it's almost

Yes but if you remove the "last long enough and you'll have a job for life and your kids get college degrees for free" carrot how many of those people who want the job now no longer will?

"Should be" is a joke, right? You can pull off over $200k/yr and never touch the principal. If you can let it sit for a decade it will ~double in terms of purchasing to just a hair under $14M. Another ten years on top of that

Civilization makes a society successful in war because of the destructive power of the weaponry available. But it absolutely seems reasonable that individual people could be less fit for physical combat as the above aspects of civilization

This seems like the flip-side of the argument that eschewing violence makes you honorable only if you're actually capable of committing violence in the first place. Eschewing violence because you're incapable of committing it just

It's what the default is. TUIs default to fast, stable, high-information-density, so you have to real work to make them otherwise. And I say this next part as primarily a front-end developer the past few years: web apps default to slow

This only matters if "quick and more responsive" is the only thing that matters. Yes of course you can enter payroll timesheets on a TUI if you spend days/weeks/months gaining that muscle memory . The same way you can e

This is very much personal opinion but if you can blast through all of a games content within 2 hours of purchase it wasn't finished / big enough to justify a financial transaction in the first place.

They probably just have an SSRS report that prints out in a few dozen offices automatically on some schedule. I'm not trying to be pedantic but this is table stakes stuff. I know we're supposed to shy away from saying things like

My honest advice to you is to get a meeting with a business litigation attorney and see if you have any cause of action against Stripe. Everyone's tolerance for suing a multi-billion-dollar company is different, but $41k is above &quot

The airline has literally all of the data on this, they definitely do not have to pay a team millions.

That the consultants' personal time is high on the scale is why they pay for the flex-fare tickets. So you miss an 8pm flight for one reason or another - it happens, so "don't miss the flight" isn't a valid retort.

I think the site UX is more a feature than a bug (though probably unintentional, regardless). If she had some super-slick SPA website that looked like a million bucks, I'd wonder where her funding was coming from. Whether it's tru
