This isn't why. This is what feminism tells men, that their problems stem from them not being able to handle and process their emotions correctly. That's propaganda. The real reason is more along of the lines of their being less o

People fresh out of school are making six figures, its common. Software produces massive value, we arent overpaid, we are underpaid.

I think it's actually that individuals with high levels of academic success don't need to start a company, they already have very good high paying career options. And so starting a company has a high level of opportunity cost.

Not trying to start an argument about country wide wage compensation. But relative to other 'competitive' professional careers, such as doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc, Europe vastly underpays programmers, but also shows them littl

The people in these countries dont respect programmers, they pay them peanuts. How are they going to innovate?

Google's original infrastructure was their main advantage, this is quickly being eroded. Ten years down the rode its not unreasonable to think that the costs to join the search business as a new competitor have gone way down.

These companies could disappear over night. Is being a monopoly for a decade really a big deal? It's completely over hyped how much control they have, for now they are dominant, but five years from now its entirely possible that they a

I actually wonder about this too. At my previous job, nobody was using IntelliJ despite developing in Scala and Java. The code base was complex, not using an IDE had a noticeable effect on the kind of code people were writing. The code was

Critical service is failing, minimal information about why, but we should be so happy someone says a few sentences on here? For all of the engineering elitism coming out of google, Amazon is way more on their game across a number of product

Been trying to spin up vm instances all day, had to try every single zone just to get one up. Not only is this incredibly harmful to a technology business dependent on this infra, it wasnt obvious to me what the issue was until I tried crea

Funny things I've heard about Two Sigma. Everyone on the outside: Two Sigma is the best. People at the top of the financial industry: Two Sigma is cheesy.

It really depends on what type of business youre in for the quality to matter. If you were say, writing a real time data infrastructure platform for a whole company, or something else related to distributed systems, then the code needs to b

This exactly. Often times "intervention" means some heavy life debilitating medication. Sure it may stop the psychosis, but at a heavy and possibly life long price. There is no accountability for health care in this country, only

Would be crazy if when you work on some kind of open source hosted on github that commits from the deceased have some kind of emblem. A bummer to see but maybe some way to give that anonymous code some kind of immortality.

The thing is that progress is so fast in some areas of ML, you dont really know when something could emerge. Who knows, maybe with enough training data and a deep enough network with the right supervision, something extraordinary pops out.

The trick is these companies arent hiring top 1% talent, they're hiring top 1% interviewing talent.

Dunning-Kruger shows up in some front page discussion almost once a day. What does that say about the "effect"?

Honestly, it really annoys me how bad their recommendation algorithm is. The model became so over fit for me, it would only show one or two topics. It made the service completely unusable, and its not clear to me that they provide the user

This. If there was a real piece of missing demand these companies would change their interview process, but things are only moving in the opposite direction. The shortage is a myth to flood the software engineering job market with cheap wor

Its really astonishing to me how wealthy some people are getting from others work. I completely support people getting wildly rich from their own efforts, but from the way that our society is structured, most wealth is just capturing the va

The people enacting these policies (Trump admin) argue that what we currently have is not trade, given how the Chinese have manipulated the markets, it is a one sided agreement. Free trade requires both sides not place restrictions on the o

I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding a nuanced view of these policies. On the one hand, china is taking advantage of us and is in part rotting our our middle class and blue collar workers. On the other hand, this could spar

I'm increasingly noticing comments aimed at marketing startups, tech stacks and political agendas on here. It used to be that people just shared their opinion, but at this point there is definitely an effort to sway information on hack
