Good luck! I found with Google and Meta at least it is way easier to land a job in the bay area and then transfer to a new team in another city than it is to simply start out on that non SF team in the first place!!

While I was at Facebook they dropped the "and break thing" off the corporate values anyways. Turns out they just want you to move fast.

Kindles already can have ads on the sleep screen! Unless you paid for the ad free version.

Try getting a single board computer such as a raspberry pi, and see if you can get it to do stuff! Hook it up to some SPI or I2C peripheral boards to read temperature or light. Stream data to a cloud. Another big part of embedded Linux is m

It's interesting how this is happening in software engineering YouTube content as well. It seems like things like "go sucks rust is great! Now rust sucks and zig is great!!" get way more views since it is basically clickbait

I think vs code is the easiest way to set up dev containers, but once they are created I mostly just shell into them and use neovim!

That's the perfect application for llm code! It is a well defined problem, with known inputs and outputs, and probably many examples the llm slurped up from open source code. And that isn't a bad thing! Now us engineers need to fo

Also in the great lakes region. From reading and researching this topic I feel like Californians vastly overestimate the risk of blizzards and tornados while discounting wildfire and earthquakes. I feel like any natural disaster here has pl

I've actually never really had much issue with switch bounces - I think many modern microcontrollers have built in gpio circuits which seems to help with this.

When I was at fb, I had the curse of being given an extremely vague goal as a new hire. Unfortunately, it was quite difficult to establish meaningful metrics AND hit them in a half! Like you said, I spent way more time on my self review th

I actually just installed Ubuntu desktop on a spare mini PC I had to try out some cpp game development, and it is a surprisingly nice experience! I prefer it over my windows PC which seems plagued with weird occasional glitches. I still nee

I think the expectation is that any travel is paid for by the company. I've even had a per diem given to me to pay for meals as well.

Another idea you can try in addition to mock interviews is tell chat gpt to give brutal and honest feedback and have it verbally ask software engineering questions. You can also have it ask specific question categories you can expect, like

For me, the key to effectively stopping/starting projects is to make is rock solid stable in terms of development experience and testing. Things like dev containers so you can build without any errors, running a test suite, deployment

I've found that the simpler the system, the more likely I am to stick with it! I tried a complicated org mode setup, automated obsidian plugins, and others but what ended up being the most effective for me was just a very long bullet p

Favorited and starred! I wonder if the real power of this could be in integrating large low cost sensor networks? I think with things like video and audio it might make more sense to bump up to a single board Linux board - but maybe the AI

Dude you are uninformed! Jones profited off the sandy hook families, elevated people like halzig, and accused the parents of being crisis actors which directly led to harassment. Jones is the one with the platform spreading these lies and

I think they mean that having the time available for sleep at all is a bit of a luxury. A lot of people need to take care of their family, or work an extra job, etc and can't afford to sleep much extra.
