Through employers, not job seekers. Not sure how to put this without marketing-speak, but I do truly believe that there is a win-win proposition here where an amazing candidate experience can be highly beneficial to the hiring org. I wrote

Reminds me of WinFS, the Windows filesystem built on top of a relational database [0] that was supposed to ship with Longhorn (aka Windows Vista). Neat idea that never materialized. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W

Product Owner should not typically be a full-time position on its own, but rather a role played by someone on an agile team. Usually, but not always, by the product manager. In other words, it is a subset of a product manager's respons

I hate these kinds of articles, which come off as "I read about a bunch of these things and if you don't know all the same stuff, how dare you call yourself senior". I typically see this in mid-level engineers who haven'

This feels like Cloudflare using the strangler pattern to continue their march into established cloud provider territory. Their serverless implementation is outstanding - AFAIK, they're the only ones offering true scale-to-zero compute

There's literally dozens of us! :) I'm using .NET 6 with a React frontend and Linux-based AWS infra. Feels like the best of all the worlds.

Startup.com was great. I've also heard good things about Valley of the Boom. And, while not exactly a dot com movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley is a classic about the Jobs vs Gates rivalry.

Plenty of companies using Macbooks as their primary machines. Though as soon as the finance/accounting departments grow beyond tiny they frequently get exemptions to be able to get Excel on Windows - all other options are sub-par.

To be clear, I am not passing judgment on Oz - I think his accomplishments are impressive, all the more so given his day-to-day challenges. And I'm not at all a fan of the Leetcode interviewing culture either. My point was that Oz is n

At the extreme edges of course there are exceptions. I think we can agree that this is not the case here?

FYI, it is incredibly common to subject acquihired employees to the same interviews, and extend offers only to those that pass. This is especially true at FAANG.

Fantastic list. I would also add The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier to really hone those people management skills. And The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni is a nice quick read on organizational politics.
