It's overwhelmingly a Google thing in my experience, because they're used to everyone else being part of their own insular club (and ignoring the rest of the plebeians incapable of getting a job there). It's still gauche, you

This is much cooler than I thought it would be and calling it a proof language seems to undersell it. It seems to be more of a general purpose FP language that can compile to multiple backends and supports UI development out of the box (!!)

Of course not. They’re wealthy enough to not have to think about the “help”, or dregs of society. People like me don’t have that luxury so we?

Because taking geometry in 8th vs 9th vs 10th grade doesn’t really matter. And given we are otherwise doing just fine, I think stagnation is far more likely to come from somewhere else.

They absolutely do - they most likely consider people like me to be subhuman entities. It’s not like I have the mental ability to get into the fancy schools or fancy companies they got into.

There’s a limited amount you can do when everyone around you is destitute. I seriously doubt future coal miners were taught sophisticated math in high school in the USSR - they took tracking and specialization to an extreme, whereas this is

I think a lot of this is simply just IQ. People like me can’t pass interviews easily, and it’s a fucking nightmare.

I agree but it’s exceedingly rare that this is because of political reasons - usually, it’s because of music rights issues.

As many of them start migrating to more bespoke proprietary solutions I doubt this is going to continue.

New Nissan Leafs are extremely affordable. Range is more limited, but they still have DC fast charging options.

He’s an ubermensch to be perfectly clear - most things that work for him aren’t going to work or apply to the rest of us because we aren’t tall, white, chiseled Adonises that went to Ivies and worked at Google. I think most people should ta

If you’re getting the same amount of money or more does it matter? A lot of companies don’t offer bonuses at all.

You're receiving an equivalent amount of cash. If you want to invest it, you can. If not, you're still getting a consistent amount of money for four years (or more if stock goes up).

If you're so concerned about it you can just buy the stock with the 2 year signing bonus that makes up for the stock vesting.

I've never heard a Googler or FB'er think Amazonians are smart or talented, ever. They look down on people like me.

I've done hundreds and I have gotten better, but only to a point. At some level it's not pattern recognition anymore, just inspiration. And I'm not smart enough for that. This one, for instance is expected to be completed in

It’s true, and the end result is you probably consider 90-95% of the people you interview to be morons right?
