I used to churn quite a bit to get max rates. Few things I have learnt - The banks giving the high initial rates at first are also to lower immediately when interest rates fall. It might not be a big deal in current economic climate, but it

Its a bit disingenuous of the author, who didn't even work @ AirBnb to speculate about their tech decisions. While not citing AirBnBs blog ( https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react-nativ... ) on sunse

The simplest way to manage pay equity is to at least match current engs salary to new hires for the same level. It baffles me that companies are ready to pay new hires market rates, but not try to retain existing talent by giving them the s

I wonder, how much of this could be attributed to attrition and gap in knowledge base created when key engineers of the related team have left.

I see this is a problem, but how many companies really need this? In my limited experience I have only seen clock sync issues at scale and simple NTP/Chrony setup solves majority of the problems, unless you're in HFT domain where

Cloud services have come a long way. Not trying to diss the article, but scaling CRUD app for 250k/sec is not as difficult as it used to be. It mainly comes down to how you manage state in your architecture. Back when I was @ yahoo, se
