There's plenty of snowy winter weather within an hour or two drive of LA. I'm sure they test in the Angeles Mountains as much as every other car manufacturer I saw test up there when I lived in those mountains.

I was lucky to learn this a decade ago when I was an intern; except it came from the electrical engineering side of the department (a department who produced products that were seen as the gold standard for that part of the medical device i

Should an engineer be tracking what their company is telling media outlets? No one else is tasked with looking at my code except other engineers; why should engineers spend their precious time making sure that other business units are perfo

> Oh, and “finding” a cofounder is not something one does by searching on the Internet. Why not? I've had serious offers to co-found companies from random seatmates on bus rides between Silicon Valley and Los Angeles. Frankly, the b

People "sign" their content with their faces on TikTok; it doesn't stop the deluge of complete nonsense that's widely accepted on that platform (much to the frustration of many academics trying to combat it).

I guess I can buy that some of the criticism is objectively gratuitous but, humans hating everything another human does, if that human is hated themselves, isn't really anything new. I guess the real question is, why should anyone ex

Why should anyone care about a PIP quota? Someone getting laid off or even fired in times like this wouldn't remotely make me think negatively of them.

Wasn't worth the hype for me at all. My m1 MBP might have better performance than my x1 carbon but my x1 walks all over the m1 in terms of software I can install thoughtlessly. I tried for months to get parallels + Ubuntu to do everyth

I literally thought that was the case until I went full-time on my start-up. I was delusional to think I could do a 9-5 well while trying to build a company. Frankly, I should have realized this was the case when some moderately complex pr

I've definitely seen CEOs with enormous amounts of success (in the companies they led previously) bring in dogshit teams to their current company. I've also seen dogshit CEOs bring in amazing people.

Just because warehouse owners have the leverage to make it impossible to demand more doesn't make it any less humiliating.

I really doubt that. My mom has quite a few friends that are retired (she's in quite a few hiking and cycling groups) and all of them are doing at least some part-time work. I think it's incredibly cruel that they have to work at

If it wasn't for the last two sentences I would have thought this wasn't satire. Good god, from calling an order of magnitude in difference as only "a few" to the false equivalences, you really nailed the poor logic I sa

A lack of ability to imagine something shouldn't cause someone to believe it can't happen. There are any number of ways someone can go homeless including under the conditions of having the skills to program. I've been able to

I think if I were homeless, a FAANG SWE job would definitely be greener.

I mean, they can only go meaningfully higher if people can afford those higher prices. I'm not convinced they can go much higher without wages going up substantially.

I regularly see my thinkpad exceed 20 GB with vscode, YouTube music, and docker hosting a frontend, backend, and simulated load. I've been sitting at 27 GB for the past two days with PyCharm open as well.

Thanks for the strawman; you know as well as I do that you can be fired for a lot less than calling your co-workers obscenities. I've seen people fired for just mouthing off about their office job while they're at the grocery sto

It doesn't feel remotely level-headed. Just about anyone in my AP English class could have made all of that up 12 years ago. That is, using circular logic to defend something like freedom of speech is something I expect any high school

I mean, your parent's doctor doesn't tell you a specific date your parent is going to die from cancer. Why would anyone else be able to predict dates that depend on more complex factors?

I've met plenty of people who've never left their metro area in the 3 decades they've been alive. On the other hand, when my girlfriend asks me what I would like to do, she has to qualify it with: "inside of this state.&
