   Oh sure that’s definitely true. I have a strong resume. At some point I just stopped having to do any work, and instead of trying to “fix” it I just went along with it. Another key element is there’s no way I’ll ever get promoted. I decided

   I don’t want to dox myself here. My level range should be obvious from my salary. I’m a manager not an IC. Yes everyone on my team knows what’s up.

   I don’t really care about stuff like that. I assume I’ll get laid off at some point, but I’ve made so much that I don’t really worry about it. It’s hard for big companies to find people who aren’t doing anything.

   I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve been working at the same tech company for 6.5 years making around 500 (used to be 1.2 but my stock grant ran out). I only show up one day a week to have lunch with friends and do nothing. My advice is to ke

    This company apparently has a $100mm revenue run rate. How? I read somewhere that companies pay for translations from learners. Does that make sense? These are people with very low fluency. Does anyone with more info know more about their r

    Interfaces in that case can be useful for unit tests since they enable mocking.

    California has real livability problems even for wealthy tech workers. The traffic has become unbearable thanks to Waze routing everyone all over surface streets, mass transit changes of any kind reliably take 10 years minimum to implement.

    I’ve wondered before why billionaires don’t just pay people to move to help their party win. I bet it wouldn’t even cost that much.

    I don’t think the author understands what a 10x engineer is. It’s not down to tons of research and work. It’s a matter of having a knack for it.

    I favor a breakup. Generally I have viewed Facebook and Instagram as honeypots which attract people who otherwise would just involve themselves in other equally damaging addictive activities. In that sense, they wouldn’t really affect the l

    When I was in high school there were exactly 4 people in the country with perfect SAT scores. Now, according to the article, there are thousands. Maybe they could start there. And just to stave off the criticisms - yes, they made the test m

    My view is those people are banking on stock market performance that is influenced by a massive bubble still underway. I think in 3-5 years a bunch of them will regret this decision, as their net worths will have been cut in half or worse.
