Sure the specific titles might be slightly unique to any given company. "Software Engineer for iCloud" or whatever. But these really are generalist software engineering roles. There are hundreds of thousands of US workers that can

I still think Triplebyte gave me the best interview I've experienced, and I've done ~100 over the years at all kinds of companies. I've also interviewed people ~1000 times myself. It was even more impressive because the perso

The whole program was sold under false pretenses and has been abused hundreds of thousands of times by virtually every large company in the US. It was sold as a program to import foreign labor in specialized roles that couldn't be fill

Early adopters have early adopter problems. Are you genuinely surprised Starlink doesn't support something they didn't claim to support and that most users don't even need? Complaining about "beta" labels, which eve

Clearly the FDA and state agencies are either incompetent or corrupt here. It's surprisingly that some private organization (Consumer Reports?) hasn't come along to do this kind of testing for oils, honey, spices, etc. I'd pa

That's doesn't seem like an accurate take on what he's doing. Young is either hoping that other people will follow his lead or knows that it could happen. That's why he made it a big public announcement. Young is very op

Rogan outed Mencia as a serial joke thief, which undoubtedly hurt Mencia's career, but I'm not sure that counts as cancellation. For example, one would not fairly characterize Hannibal Burris as "cancelling" Bill Cosby&#

It seems to me that both Neil Young and Joe Rogan are good people that are doing what they think is right. But, in my judgement, they're both making serious mistakes. Young is making the mistake of trying to summon and/or join a m

The tone didn't bother me but I'm thick skinned :-) The answer is that YC is extremely aware of how valuable HN is as a source of revenue. It's probably their biggest marketing channel, so it's worth many billions to the

Comments are less of an issue than submissions are. For the most part, I think HN moderation of comments is fairly reasonable. What's pretty unseemly at this point is how easily large tech organizations can game the HN front page. Ther

SpaceX showed a way through the bureaucracy and corruption. By building technology that was dramatically better and cheaper, it became almost impossible for NASA to avoid awarding them contracts. This seems to be Anduril's approach a

Of course there are lots of military contractors. There were lots of space-related government contractors before SpaceX too. SpaceX and Anduril seem to be unique in that they're following the Silicon Valley tech startup playbook and no

The US military could probably use a few dozen Andruils to modernize it and make it truly effective at its core mission. It does seem like a failing of Silicon Valley that it doesn't produce more military tech startups. Palmer Luckey h

Landing interviews usually just consists of submitting resumes and using LinkedIn, etc. As for interviewing, beyond the basics of showing that you have some relevant skill/experience, there are two key things to convey: 1. Your enthusi

That's some shady behavior though. The whole point of the law is to prevent companies from penalizing employees based on prior salaries. Wouldn't be surprising if Google was finding excuses to retract offers based on seeing that t

Absolutely true, although it's not as bad as it once was. And if you can manage to choose well (i.e. by earning stock at multiple companies, some of which go on to IPO), it's possible that equity can (more than) make up for it, bu

This phenomenon is a major reason that good startups win vs Big Tech companies. The Big Tech companies have standardized their interview process around hiring new grads. They fight with each other to hire them. These noobs get hired en mass
