I am positive faang engineers are very sharp but would they be "expert at the latest technologies"? E.g. an engineer at Google likely has a whole host of bespoke systems vs. a mixture of vendor and open source solutions the rest o

I agree with you but I'd imagine new tech like chatgpt won't interject in a user's interactions with facebook and instagram as it does with google where I ask my AI for something vs. search for it in google.

They do touch on the security aspect but there is a whole lotta attack surface to worry about. Fta: Microsoft made a particular point of outlining its efforts to ensure the new Adobe PDF tool is secure. Miscreants will use malware-infused P

They somehow replicated the intranet site so I'd call that somewhat sophisticated. That kind of feels like they had insider knowledge. > As in most phishing campaigns, the attacker sent out plausible-sounding prompts pointing emplo

Every child is attached to a minimum of 1 adult on average. And they are very unlikely to be particularly adept at not acquiring whatever bug is going around let alone something as infectious as covid. So to me that was always the point. On

Does anyone understand why Meta is up 23% today? Did the cuts show an impact in Q4? I'd have assumed the initial cost of the severance would be significant. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META?p=META&.tsrc=fi

I have heard about companies doing this in times of economic downturns to prevent layoffs. If that was the cause and it was communicated as such and temporary I'd be willing. Example: https://www.independent.co.uk/news&

tl;dr: Oracle now is going to charge you *per employee*, NOT per employee actually using Oracle Java SE (employee = full-time and part-time employees and agents, consultants, and contractors). Frankly I don't even know how that's

Well said. From my LinkedIn feed anecdata the Google layoffs seemed especially capricious. People that had been there 5+ to 10+ years. Seems likely tied to high comp though I saw recent hires as well. AFAIK no managers were consulted either

If the massive debt is at 1 or 2% interest they could essentially bank a fairly small portion of it to service that interest. When instead debt is at 7+% it's a whole other story. You better be building something that will shake loose
