Companies that do this kind of stuff are really either late stage where everyone is just cruising and vesting, or it’s on the way down.

No. If I’m burned out I go until I’m turned into ash. I spent the last 30 hours getting something to work. I took a couple of walks, cooked some food, but kept going back to the problem. Now that I fixed the issue I’m feeling down because t

I mean, if this guy is really as wealthy and successful as you say, you can quit and recommend me to him. I can build any software he wants, and I have some ideas I could bounce off him. I don’t know anyone like that irl and have been tryin

I’ve used us bank for an auto loan and they were super helpful when I sold it. I honestly get anxiety and social lock up when dealing with financial stuff (it’s all so much bullshit after the basic accounting is done) and they were really c

Honestly not sure, all I've done since I can remember is work. I need some change of scenery that will inspire me to do something else. Right now where I live it is suburbia and boring.

I said "they will dominate the next century" which means you misread what I wrote and asked something about now. Its not my fault your reading comprehension sucks.

India got independence in 1947... from the British Empire. USA has been independent since 1776. And notice I said "century". Were you educated in America?

Is it wrong though? Maybe its because my immigrant (S. Asian) parents emphasized education heavily so they busted their ass to put me into the best public school districts. Believe me, being the poorest kid in school had its downsides, but

Honestly anything that is sentient should have the same rights as all humans. Also, if we are able to create AI I think we should not get carried away by ego. Whatever we create are our children, I mean end of the day we ourselves are runni

I found out there are full audio books on youtube a year ago. I just pick a random book that "sounds good" and play it in the background. Learn a lot from background noise on various random topics.

I think eventually we will be back in the cities. Just not now. And by we I mean people in tech who are the only real group with this privilege.

As a naturalized US citizen whose family doesn't own a home anywhere on Earth and is actively trying to build wealth- FUCK NO to heavier taxes. Y'all got yours, now what - screw me? I want to build my wealth - give people like me

there are way better companies to find intellectual challenges where you don’t have to ask this kind of question about the organization. If money is the most important thing you care about then maybe MANGA is great. But money is pretty eas

Maybe rehearsing leet code and funding studies that result in a "no shit we caused even bigger problems" outcome can make certain people think they can solve it.

In my projects when I need independent UI per platform I just extract the logic to a new component that renders the right thing for each platform. That way my views aren’t filled with conditionals the component handles it.

Not at all. Just pointing out that a high bar for hiring still leads to shit code. And that's fine, its called growing pains.

What happened to references? That’s an easy way to verify if someone is bullshitting. It is possible to bullshit your way through interviews (there’s a whole industry to help you do just that) and not know good software engineering patterns

I wish I could a 2-3 hour interview where I (or the candidate) showcase one of my projects and explain the architectural details and decisions in addition to showing any cool/hairy/insane code that got the job done. We can discuss

You don’t need to spend billions. Generating 3d models from stitching images together is possible and with some automation and focused products it will become much easier
