You do not but I feel like many places have the element of getting "pushed up or pushed out". I'm in a similar boat but I haven't seen any place keep up with inflation without some kind of promotion or bonuses.

Yep. You got it.

I do. Credentials-wise I have BS in one of the STEM and currently enrolled in MS CS with intent to pursue PhD in Maths/CS. I have around 8 YoE and worked from Series B startups to IBs. I want to give everyone a fair shake (including re

This. I also limit myself on how many applications I see in a day (no more than 20 on a busy day, 50 on a not so busy day) so that I give every resume a fair read. A team can only do so much in a day. It's disheartening when you see a

I am a Platform Engineer and it feels like your experience mirrors mine. Like you, our challenge is filtering out large volume but also filtering out LLM abusers. We're not opposed to people using LLMs, when appropriate. I find that ca

Agree. It also feels like it's optimizing for the wrong thing (getting past the screening for as many job as possible, regardless of fit). I personally felt like the most successful experience I had with job search (and retention) is i

It's also missing the point. The verbiage around H1B is "to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities", not artificially inflate competition for jobs. This issue was contentious even duri

Fair question. In general, custom configuration on both mice (DPI, refresh rate, etc) and keyboards (tactile response settings [See https://wooting.io/ ], hot binds, etc). It's a nice to have (almost to the point of nec

Yep. Obviously YMMV, but I found AWS TAM to be much better than Google Cloud's (but that's not surprising).

Could you explain how this is plagiarism? Is there another original content that this article is ripping off from?

Yep! I vaguely remember my professor mentioning about this in my Immunology class when we were on the topic of recognizing self vs non-self. Something about MHC1 vs CD47 on RBCs. It's been a while. Fascinating stuff!

Unfortunate nomenclature aside, this issue highlights the difference between models and reality in science and how students can take these models too literally and thus easily conflate the two in pedagogy. Here's an embarrassing story

No deeper point other than the person who funded it thought these fields should be awarded and encouraged (econ is the exception).

I was scratching my head but then it seems like the precedence for awarding Nobel prize for Physics for something that isn't "exclusively" physics has been set before. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/ph

For me it wasn't so much about libertarian claims but about Cato's style of writing. Their written discourse is so lazy and highly disingenuous to the point it becomes offensive. There are parts where I think libertarianism makes

I worked at Pivotal (2017-2018) and I'll say pairing culture is not for everyone but it was a great experience for me. Much of the experience is dependent on finding someone that is at your "wavelength". It provided good work

Ditto. AMD also reliably delivered on CPUs for the past 2 iterations of both Xbox and PS. AMD feels like the only choice for consoles at this point.

Hah! That jibes with my experience. I've applied for few startups in Seattle back in 2018 and every interview was prefaced with - "our engineering team is made up for ex M$ and/or AMZN".

Genuine question for the folks over at Amazon: What is the value of working at Amazon (or even just AWS) these days? Every now and then I get a ring from a recruiter gauging my interest and sometimes I get the itch to just to go through the
