Yeah but they can do that a bunch of different ways and to me, it’s a sign to jump ship

I’m a big fan of diagrams as code but only when I’m doing them usually. Mainly because I usually start out with an idea of what I want then try to recreate it. Usually that means I’ve had to read the entirety of the tool’s documentation end

People keep talking about tech companies like tech is itself an industry. A tech company in the energy industry is going to be affected by world events differently than a tech company focused on, say, the medical industry.

I’m going to go against the grain and say I love unlimited PTO. Gone are the days when I’m counting my PTO and I can just take trips or time off whenever I feel like it. I’d like to say that I’m a contributing member of my team and I have a

The main factor that I feel that people forget is that once you build something, fixing it requires undoing it and that’s extremely expensive. Like if you design an API wrong, release it, then realize to change it requires a massive depreca

I still think it’s mostly ineptitude. Hiring a bunch of people only to fire them isn’t gaining you anything. People are still on a bell curve and most executives are somewhere in the “very average” area, like me and most people. And 50% of

I think an even bigger factor is that people had a shit ton of free time during the pandemic because people were either laid off or working remote. On top of that, a lot of activities weren’t possible anymore. What do people say they don’t

It made perfect sense from an investor‘s point of view. Buy the stock low, sell it before it drops. You’re usually investing in large public companies to make money, not “support the long term cause.” Also it made sense for the time period.

I think COVID profits drove the hiring But it really comes down to the company. For example, Tesla’s valuation was probably more dependent on that kind of investment because their valuation was based on the idea that full self-driving AI wa

current value = pre-pandemic value + actual growth + pandemic growth Just because pandemic growth is now 0 doesn’t mean Amazon didn’t have actual growth too

I'm not saying it is "wrong," I'm just pointing out that world events matter and people should really pay attention and remember what's going on. With COVID, a lot of new stuff happened. We started dining outdoors.

I remember COVID when tech stocks shot right up, probably because everyone was stuck having to use tech and other companies looked in free fall Then COVID ended and now we’re going back to normal, and tech stocks are also going back to befo

People really hate on Google but I don’t think a lot of people separate what something or someone does from how they do it Google collects a lot of data but I know they’re not going to sell it, they’re not going to let it leak (probably at

CS obviously makes way more but I hear tons of stories of people working overtime or having shitty bosses in developer jobs too, and yet the narrative I hear a lot is get a FAANG job, make 400k then retire by 30 There isn’t any automatic ge

Someone becomes T-shaped because they’re interested in the things that would make them T-shaped in my opinion I think it can be beneficial to show people where you can start learning a new subject but they have to choose to learn

WiFi may be be complex and power hungry, and I’ve had the displeasure of trying to build low-power IoT devices with it, but you can easily put in the time and effort to build a rock-solid future-proofed IP network. My home Zigbee and Z-Wave

I heard it’s optimal for staffing though because you can just have people on standby living near your spokes, which would be important if you’re dealing with cancellations, which can severely cascade with point to point

In my opinion, the valuation of Tesla was reasonable based on the fact that they were making strides in driving AI But at the time, humans did not yet know that FSD seems to be un-achievable with a non-general AI. At least with current tech

I don’t have a repo to show but I’ll try my best to explain First I want to note that I do use React hooks. If I can some UI code in React, I will. DOM code would go in React I just won’t put business logic in React ever. No non-UI side eff

You think there’s only one suspicious thing going on at any given moment? There’s probably hundreds of new things at this very second and probably none of them are going to result in anything, but no one knows that for sure

What had always worked for me is that I write the web app as regular classes / objects, make it observable with mobx, then add React as essentially a template library — like as if it was mustache.js or something. The non-React code wor

People knock on obfuscation but everything in life is based on trust. Locks being breakable, the fruit stand in front of a shop being unprotected, fences being scalable. Everything is a cost/benefit

People buy mass produced because it’s way cheaper I just watched a video of a candy cane assembly line that made thousands of canes per hour. If I had to pay a small shop to make that candy cane, I honestly wouldn’t. I don’t have the kind o

I think we’re not really willing to up the standards because you need to drive to survive in a lot of places. You can’t change your genetics, you can’t necessarily change where you live, and you can’t just fix transit without rebuilding an

Not all humans are the same either Some people can flawlessly do stunts with their car after driving for a few years and have a perfect driving record Others make you shake in fear every time you sit with them as you see them fail to notice
