I definitely can understand that. But if I’m a mid level engineer I kind of have desires in what kind of team I’d like to join. I’d really hope a hiring manager can entertain that and let me speak with one or two people on the team before I

Heh something similar happened to me. Recruiter reached out, insisted role was on a special new team in SFO. I did the full interview cycle (on-site in Seattle, which I later learned is what they do if the role is in SEA..). It was for an a

Huge plus one here, same situation. Except opposite situation with my team/manager unfortunately.

This is like my situation. I just left after being there for 20 months. Various reasons on the team side. Imposter syndrome is a bad excuse but it contributed. Tried switching but other teams insisted on a full interview loop before I could

I'm Jewish, how come I don't have access to this laser? I've loved lasers since I was a kid. Life isn't fair!

OP specifically said "They're useless to cook on" and I provided an example of an excellent dish that uses an electric stove. So, that would certainly seem to disprove their comment because I did in fact cook something, which

> They’re useless to cook on. I'd say this is a bit of an overreaction. They're definitely terrible to time correctly, heat-wise. But they also can definitely cook. I've made a rib-eye steak medium rare just fine on a cast

Considering the wall of parked cars it was attempting to do a u-turn into, I'd say you're wrong.

One time someone did this in a Costco parking lot from 2 rows away from me and my parked car. It pulled out of its spot 3 spaces away from my car, started doing a u-turn that would've had it hit my car in order to drive through the r

Will you add the Apple Watch too? Something I struggle with is timing when to charge it in the evening. I've used the Bedtime function and it works alright but not well enough.

Cruise control is literally just for (at least in a traditional sense) keeping your speed constant. You're still responsible for watching traffic and using the brake or gas as needed, especially if there is some issue up ahead that req

I left a FAANG just last week. I'd say for a mix of work-related reasons and also because I just wanted a break in general. I wouldn't say it was "COVID" or some specific reason but I'm sure it contributed. Edit: Al

Yeah and I have a one bedroom apartment. I don't like being in the same place for 16 hours of the day.

It's not about "having a life outside of work". I have friends in several different social circles. Some of us still desire a concrete separation between personal and work lives. Not only that, but some of us find there are s

Not from my experience. We had all the Slack channels, work ones and social ones (memes, rant channels about work experiences, etc.). Nobody on my previous team ever used a single one. Only people in other teams across the org, and not full

Heh today was my last day (L5). I only hung around about 21 months and didn't want to stick it out for my 2nd year's RSU vest date. It _really_ depends on your manager and your team. I kept trying to convince myself from the begin

If you're thinking of what I'm thinking of, I haven't had it happen on HN but have on other sites. It's like the links aren't being recognized in iOS Safari as links, only text.

I'm currently about to leave a job that fits this kind of description. The way it was presented to me ended up not fitting what it actually is like on a daily basis. Just need to figure out the right questions that can expose the core

That's a very subjective claim. For me personally I tend to get stressed out even on simpler problems. The best two-way conversation at least for SDE interviews IMO is the systems design one because ideally it really is just a back-and

We did a rock candy experiment in 6th grade and probably attempted it a few separate times, specifically because we kept having issues. I think at least one batch got moldy. But, if I'm remembering correctly (this is over a decade ago)

That's the typical new-release Apple products route. I remember my iPhone 12 last year made the same stops.

I'd imagine there are still different situations at play here. For instance, I'm Jewish and my mother made potato latkes one way throughout my childhood. I loved those and various details about them (texture, flavor profile, donen

Meh, I'll vote to the contrary; Comcast works roughly 99.95% of the time for me. Obviously that's an approximation, but I rarely experience outages and I've been using them from two apartments in the South Bay for 10 years. T

Same issues here in Cupertino. Surprisingly my phone refused to work on just cellular data, despite using a different provider for that (AT&T). I'm pretty confused.

I used it a lot more often back in college compared to now. Usually now it's for random one-off calculations I'm too lazy to do myself, like "how many weeks since 4/28" (my puppy's birthday).
