I also had a fun experience in an open office, but the key element of it was that the office was only about 15-20 people and we were all on the same project and team. When I visited the Big Tech office (as a remote employee), it was an enti

Tests are a superpower with hardware development. It can be difficult to find the best boundaries to mock, but once you do it's amazing how much easier it is to develop! I find that tests are a great way to get the software into states

So true. Even companies I've heard back from, it's impossible to predict when. I've has a few take 2+ months!

Building up a full CPU from logic was one of my favorite things in university! The class was digital logic in the electrical engineering department and was a lot of fun. We even got to write machine code programs for it.

I understand leetcode is a grind. I was unemployed so I had time to do it, but if you're looking to interview while working full time it certainly is overwhelming! I haven't learned too much from my studying, but as a non-cs backg

"Deadline". I hate it when a word starts to lose the exact meaning it is supposed to have! I am not sure this is totally true, but it certainly matches the compound word itself: dead + line came from a literal line on the ground w

Having gone through the interview game this year after being laid off on Thanksgiving, this article rang true to my experience. I would add: - I had much more success with getting interviews at big companies versus small companies. I barely

This is one benefit of growing up with awful well water. Literally anywhere tastes pretty darn good by comparison!

There are a few studies out which say fluoride is bad. But as is often the case with these health idiots, the studies actually refer to places where fluoride is naturally way too high in the water. The entire debate is dumb.

The big thing for us is we simply do not trust priests with our children. It seems ridiculous to go to a church where kids have been raped.

I think the key is to be your authentic self. If you’re trying to force being funny it comes off poorly.

It's funny how often engineers say "it depends"! Even a basic axom like don't reinvent the wheel doesn't always apply. After all, we have entire industries dedicated to doing exactly that! Goodyear spends a lot of t

$500k would likely be a staff level salary offer. I think a senior role around $350-400k is probably more likely as a new hire coming in which is definitely great money, but still hard to take a $20k+ monthly mortgage with! Especially since

Good advice in general. I would add - try to pick a skill which gives you a deep understanding in something fundamental which will always be relevant, rather than a particular shiny tech. I would love the bay area, but unfortunately it is e

That is why my wife won't use the pihole on my network - things like Google map links to hotels, Amazon shopping links, even target app pictures didn't work out of the box. I have a button on my stream deck to enable/disable

Unfortunately I don't think there is any real metric-based way to prevent this type of behavior, it just has to be old fashioned encouraged from the top. At a certain size it seems like this stops scaling though

Honestly it seems like the job is the least of your problems! I think you need to think hard about what you want your life to ultimately look like and try to map out what steps need to happen to get there. Do you need to stay in that locati

The only speedrun I can personally do is the Warios Stadium N64 Mario kart level where you can hop over the wall right at the start! My favorite from Baldurs Gate 3 is where a speedrunner found that if you kill Shadowheart and stuff her in

Yeah it's a sad state of affairs in general I agree with you there. Overall I'd say our clowns in Ohio are probably about average if you judge against the national landscape.

Goodreads does indeed suck in many ways, but I am in favor of a 5 star system! I think oftentimes we need to commit to one rating or another and not waffle around with this "4.12425/5" type reviews :)

We certainly have our share of dumdums here in Ohio but I think the actual leadership is fairly reasonable, and they do really like $$ and wouldn't do anything to jeopardize investment. Now, I am not sure how long we'll have &quot

One thing I really would like in a calendar app is some sort of "change log", and this gets somewhat close to that, assuming you track the file in git. For example, I recently scheduled a dentist appointment 6 months from now. Unl

We have to remember with the flood of all the news around DOGE - the point of all this is NOT to have an effective, efficient way to manage the federal workforce or even to have good government. The point is RAGE: Retire All Government Emp

Too many rust jobs are in crypto or web3 stuff right now. Even if you like that tech, it's pretty undeniable that those industries are boom/bust and quite risky.

I believe a masters has helped me stand out as a candidate at least. Plus, I learned a great deal about computer engineering! The fundamentals have come in handy.
