It's not country wide in my experience. When I lived in CA with 4 kids in public school, my opinion was that they were total garbage, enough so I moved out of state. Where I am now, the public schools my kids go to are great.

My primary question would be what has changed since you were last working in the industry - whatever the answer is, it would need to convince me that you wouldn't leave after a year or two or would be likely to need another long break.

MS chooses H1B's specifically because they can abuse and exploit them, forcing long hours with the threat of deportation upon termination. Turning a blind eye to that kind of abuse of power only allows it to continue.

Here, here. To top it all off, the next generation of techies think the company that did this is one of the good ones and voluntarily use their software(VSCode?).

Conservatives want to dismantle the public school system, not preserve and perpetuate it.

Me too. If someone always needs some activity/entertainment happening, that's just too high maintenance for me and I lose interest in spending time with them.

These companies need to be attacked/shamed from the eco angle. If they cared about the planet(we do, of course!), they would let as many people wfh as they could. They could have commercials showing all their happy employees wfh - pe

Seems business as usual. Senators wouldn't even return our phone calls. So we had to resort to hiring a lobbyist who they would answer the phone for. Anytime we'd have a call with the senators assistant, we'd have a call wit

It was my impression lobbyists usually write the bills themselves. I don't know if this is how it's always done, but my company recently worked with lobbyists and a senators assistant and the lobbyists wrote a paragraph that, onc

You live somewhere that requires a car and you have a car, so yeah, there's no association of car=freedom for you. That is for people who live in the same place as you but don't have a car. When they get one, it's 'ah,

Good progress. As we approach 100%, we can do away with them entirely and work on our priorities rather than theirs.

Now that I don't spend time commuting, I can exercise and participate more in my kids activities like scouts, sports, band, etc. I have plenty of routine that includes leaving the house, it just doesn't include heading to the offi

No second chances on price gougers from me. They knew the ethics of that before they chose to do it. Maybe other manufacturers can learn something from their demise.

There are more rare and expensive beers, but Bells is absolutely top tier quality for me.

Establishing good relationships with peers at work isn't that hard. What gets hard for me, over the years and as the number of contacts grow, is maintaining these relationships in a way that doesn't feel superficial or transactio

I simply don’t buy that they had anywhere close to enough time to integrate this into an existing curriculum in a way that would meet the high standards paying students should have for a university education. I don’t have to ask how an Eng

I've been in a role like this for many years in a small company. I doubt it would really work in a rigid FAANG environment with formalities like levels and performance reviews and all that - it would get too political and competitive.

Totally agree. Java shops don't have the memory safety issue Rust solves. Without that benefit, why bother switching? C++ and Java don't overlap much in the domains they're used in in my experience. Rust may totally replac

Sounds like they simply panicked and threw something together with little thought or preparation, what, right in the middle of an actual course? And they want to charge kids for this kind of 'expert instruction'? I'd be pis

Find something you’re interested in and spend weeks/months reading, running, debugging the code on your own. If you’re still interested, you won’t need all the hand holding because you’ve already been working with the code. Pretend i

They burned a bridge already and it's too late now. People will be less likely to use whatever AI they release as we'll just assume it's trying to financially exploit us like they did with search and gmail. Mass adoption wi

Equal outcomes is an evil goal which can only be ultimately achieved through forced labor. Much more humane to just provide equal opportunity to all and then let people decide for themselves what they want to do for a living.

Go for the senior. You might also try to find a company with more casual engineering practices - in my experience, those are more pleasant jobs and produce better software quicker than orgs more focused on process, best practices, etc.

I sure was when I had to do front end work. Finally got out of anything front-end for good and it's probably been the single most pleasant change in my career ever. I didn't start out doing front end work though, so I could see

In my own experience I'd say it would be 'just as' effective, rather than 'far more'. Both solve the problem in a nearly identical way in the field. I'm not saving the hides so I don't mind if they end u

Illegal hiring discrimination is the norm from my perspective. There are departments that set targets for what they want the makeup of the company to look like. Hard if not impossible to enforce.
