You don’t get skipped past phone screens, you still have to do those. I don’t think you skip resume filter either. They claim they don’t share the resume, but on multiple occasions I had someone from the company magically view my LinkedIn s

When I mentioned government-mandated credentials, I was thinking more of the medical and legal fields. Software engineering is ideal in this respect, because it's pretty much unregulated in that regard. That makes software engineering

In my opinion, fake news isn’t nearly as prevalent or as dangerous as news that mostly tells the truth as a technicality or formality, but is presenting a radically skewed and biased narrative. That kind of dishonesty fools even people on t

I think the difference is the individual's personal experience with apologies. For me in my life, I've apologized mostly insincerely to placate emotionally unstable and abusive people. I've also had apologies demanded of me b

Yeah I used to think so too. Now I just think it's a thing people like to say to emphasize how difficult and important execution is. But execution mattering doesn't mean ideas are easy. Ideas are really, really hard. Good ideas ar

Fewer women go into STEM because women have more and better options in life. STEM is hard and it sucks. Same reason women don’t have to mine coal. They have the luxury of being able to choose not to. Men don’t have that luxury. We either ea
