But embedded engineers are treated more like commodities nowadays already (except at the top or in specific niches like legacy banking software or HFT), because the industries that drove their day are also commoditized and outsourced. It’s

This is similar to my experience but without a bootcamp. My biggest problem when mentoring people that want to and are capable of learning to code is pointing them towards any avenue of someone who might hire them to code. It seems like the

A good friend of mine couldn't get a single 3 day weekend approved (so one day of PTO) several months in advance. Then I open my recruiter inbox and I see like 20 new B2C healthcare startups. It really feels like the entire economy is

It’s a brilliant(ly jerkish) strategy to make them a darling of the market by being the thing that most can’t buy and an exclusive club for the ones that can. WLB there is atrocious I’ve heard as well. The founders will be extremely rich an

Depends heavily on your definition of unscientific. There are many treatment modalities that exist that are considered "ineffective" simply because they don't work en mass on large populations. AKA they don't scale for i
