They artificially restricting the supply of viable candidates, but this gatekeeping happens whenever engineers want (sometimes subconciously) to limit the competition and protect their high wages.

It's amazingly smaller than the original. Author says he's removed quite a few non essential features ; but I wonder how much of the difference in footprint is due to technological advances in PSU components. (I am assuming here t

Buying a company through a tender offer in order to replace the management is your textbook hostile takeover.

He's just explained how to achieve the same result without having to get a job.

Good point, I am always surprise when well funded startups hire former big-tech engineers, rather than experienced startup engineers.

This would be useful, but (IANAL) it seems to me that in the US, startups are not allowed to raise funds on public forums? ("general solicitation")

Thanks for owning up to this. We all know the internet and HN are full of chancers, but it's still very helpful to see what crafty, well-written BS actually looks like. And let's hope all this does not stop you from commenting her

It may well be that ARM could pay better if they wanted to. But the culture in Cambridge, and the UK, has been to pay engineers pretty poorly. So perhaps they don't yet understand that they need to. Also, salary inversion within the co

Right on. There are many companies who interview candidates, but have little to no intention to hire. They are very difficult to recognize, as their job adverts and websites look exactly like all the others.

No matter what NATO does or doesn't do, if Putin needs a pretext for further aggression, he will find it.

You might be right, in this scenario Putin will cling on a la Bachar al Assad

As an anectode, I spoke with a Turk who found Turks living in Germny much more conservative than people in Turkey. Not to mention Brits who moved to Spain because there were "too many bloody immigrants" at home.

You make a good point. Are people successful because they are happy, or vice versa?

This is also the case in the startup world. As we saw recently, any tool that begins to take off gets cloned incredibly quickly (Airtable, Roam...). Given the apparent shortage, it goes to show that ideas actually matter.

Indeed. In fact, following OP's logic gets absurd really fast : "Dean and Ghemawat would have been twice as productive if they'd worked each on their own! What a waste for the world !"

The new reality is that UK companies will never be able to hire SW engineers as cheaply as they were able to in the last 15 years.

This. I've learned it's best to masquerade as a committed specialist in order to get a job. OTOH, saying "I'm going to do whatever is needed to help your company succeed" isn't great marketing.

Agreed, the most vexing thing about this is that DDG is now promoting the exact same tutorial sites that Google is : Geekforgeeks, etc What's the point in having different search engines if they copy each other's search results?

'Figure out what you really need and how "good" is defined.' That would be ideal, but as a candidate, have you ever really met a company that knew what they wanted?
