You reckon they'll be around in the next 4-5 years?

VMWare seems to be a company that'll fit your bill. I don't work there but personally I found their APIs and documentation to be among the best in the industry. Just high quality.

Could you elaborate those other reasons?

Seems like the bug was in the config generator/deployer and not the service itself. So it's quite possible that things behaved normally during their dogfooding/smoke testing phase. But you're right, the config should&#x2

> That doesn't make sense. If they can be easily replaced, then why aren't they? Wouldn't it directly benefit the company hiring them to not hire them? In our cloud service, these guys are the first-line of defense in trou

As a H1-B myself, I think I'm pretty much a modern-day slave without the physical shackles. I hate going back to my home country and I love the intellectual, rational environment here. But I'm stuck with my current company until I

What everyone wants? Xbox one. I liked the Surface Pro 2 too . Just wish it were a tad cheaper.

That being said, MG Seigler is a Google partner? Wow.

Why? They all have equivalent products that have pretty much all the features. They should probably buy them for the talent and user base though.

Do you work for Google? You're unwarranted support aside, Microsoft does deserve some kudos for investing in his research. In fact, much more so than Google just because they were the initial partners/investors.

Wait, did you come here via some sort of transfer program? How do you graduate so soon? If so, I'd suggest you list it in your resume. I'm Indian and did my Bachelors here as well. H1-B shouldn't be a problem at all, not at l

Looking forward to this and curious how it's going to be structured (writing clever state machines?). The last one was amazing (nice American Apparel t-shirt too :-)!).

The article doesn't mention his title though. This sort of pay isn't unheard of for architects/fellows/ distinguished engineers even at msft

What was your greatest hack and what did you enjoy most about going it?

Okay, considering the patronizing and condescending tone of your comment, I couldn't help but bite. Even if this comment is a few days old. I too have a very low opinion of India like you do. I have often said food and yoga are the onl

This will sound rosy until something like this actually happens to you. It is very emotionally taxing and traumatic. And worse, once people like Linus start advocating it, all these fan boys (who have in no way made a significant contributi

Also, worthwhile to note that this guy is an SDET and not an SDE at Microsoft. VAST difference in quality between the two disciplines.

Very well articulated. I'm a kid who came over to the US for higher studies. All these problems are deep-rooted in our culture. The culture doesn't encourage innovation and curiosity is shunned in most of the schools. Kids get into this rat
