I never, ever trusted any engineer manager and HR. In my looong experience, they rarely (read never) have at heart the interest of their reports. They are there to progress their career, as well as every body else. So, if your promotion, or

There is also the fake "high growth". I worked at startup where the CEO was growing the organization like crazy, just for the sake of showing that the company was growing, even though it was not. We were on-boarding engineers almo

Exactly! It annoys me so much reading about big tech co, pledging on becoming carbon negative, produce zero waste, etc ... but still force thousands of people everyday to commute and pollute just for the sake of it. They really don't c

uhm I am not sure about Sweden being the 'Silicon Valley of Europe' As european, if had to look for a tech job in Europe, I would consider: - London - Amsterdam - Berlin

Still, it is so sad to see companies who could avoid their employees commuting and polluting, fighting to get their employees back to the office! This shows how overall businesses and people don’t really care for climate change.

It’s hard to find co-founder or even early employees because financially it is not convenient: at least for the 99% of the startup. There are the lucky ones who managed to be in the right place at the right time, but that’s definitely not t

The Data Economy is what enables "free" product for the end-user. Think about email, drive, video. Users are now used to get most of this stuff for free. And that's possible thanks to the Data Economy. End such economy basica

Well I guess by renting they can get the latest and greatest machine available instead of dealing with an old machine bought say 5 years prior. If the machine breaks, well you just get another one. No maintenance cost for the company. I me

Many underestimate the complexity and the headache that comes with managing its own data center. It is easy to get a couple of racks up and running. Then you have to deal: - HW that fails, go get a new one, cost + time - backup and geograph

The same reason big companies pay premium for external consultants instead of directly hiring. You don't want to deal with employees, as well as you don't want to deal with HW, data center, and all that comes with it. You know you

hehe I guarantee you I have worked indeed in many large FAANG and not, tech companies. And it is pretty much the same everywhere. I think when you get at a certain level, people tend to rest and vest, thus producing little to no tangible va

Job titles are overrated. Often they are not an indication of skills and/or achievements, but rather political ability to networking and managing up in the company. I have worked with Principals, Architects etc ... they were more an ob

Last time I checked USDC, USDT etc...are very much stable and you transact them on the Eth network, no exchange required.

Many keep saying that BTC is like gold, an edge against inflation. I disagree. I think that one of fundamental problem with inflation is that banks pay almost zero interest rates, thus USD sitting in your bank account lose value overtime. N

I agree. The worse part is that at Federal level all tech bro are considered rich end up paying ton of taxes along with CA taxes, without any possibility to deduct anything because, you know, as long as you work in tech, you are rich by def

As many other recent IPO, this valuation is just out of this world. Also, Coinbase is not the only player in the space. Many also use Binance.us; it offers stacking, cheaper fees and usually lists more alt coins. I must admin that I bough

I wonder why when s*it hits the fan, the most senior and experienced are always on the line fixing stuff. I am in my 40 and the only thing I have noticed is steady increase of my paycheck and responsibilities. I can't really complain.

This is exactly what makes the difference between a seasoned and experienced engineer vs "follow the latest nodejs lib kind of guy" ... I learned a lot exactly when doing non sexy stuff that nobody else wanted to do. For instance,
