   I can definitely see that. Also maintaining a younger work force comes with a lot of benefits for the company ... cheaper insurance costs, no family to run home to, no sick kids, no distractions, work long hours, etc etc ... keep them well

   I hear Netflix also has a very high pressure culture and if people cant cope up, they are given a generous severance and asked to leave. is this right? how long can a person survive in such environments?

   I interviewed for Google two times, FB one time and Amazon once. I hated every single one of those interviews. I got another call from Google and I told the guy if he is expecting me to go on a 2-3 month interview loop with one day of hopin

   i had the same experience with two different roads in chicago area where it would avoid a simple overpass on 55, instead advising to take exit, go around in a longer route and come back to 55. Only in the east / North bound direction.

    I just put it there for people to see without searching for it. Also, even at 2500, its $200 cheaper for a product thats proven itself to be solid hardware many times. asus is good, but i am not yet sure they are as good as apple hardware,

    I am in the same boat. I am trying to replace a 2010 MBP 15" with nvidia card, 8 GB ram. for me, it needs to last 5+ years (sorry, company policy). Anything with comparable specs (15", core i7 quad core, 8-16 gb ram, 1920X1080+ sc

    i am strongly leaning towards that system. question is will it last 5 yrs minimum? esp., the ssd. also, it tops at 8GB, which is not a deal breaker

    you are right. the windows laptops are competitively priced but seem to lack a lot in terms of battery life and overall longevity, which is sad. razr blade seems good but is as expensive as mbp, if not more. guess i will have to either wait

    those are only i5 and the usable resolution is really low on the 13. i can bump it up really high but that will be pretty useless. i have one on hand that i used for a couple of days and didnt find it comfortable

    well said. Also the author ignores the fact that changing design in enterprise sw is difficult because it impacts the user familiarity of the product they have become used to.
