I tried using https://www.tavus.io/ and it worked at first, but after 40 seconds the guy just kept blinking and twitching at me and became unresponsive to further questions lol. Pretty neat though.

Sure, being the top 1% of employees (which I'm assuming L7 principal is) at any company is sure to be great. Very few engineers will ever make that position at a FAANG.

Yea there's a huge element of randomness to these kinds of interviews. I wasn't a big fan of them at Stripe. You can get some signal like: - do they methodically approach the problem? - do they understand the bug? - do they know h

From what I remember (left Stripe in late 2022) much of Stripe's codebase was/is a Ruby tangled "big ball of mud" monorepo due to lack of proper modules. Basically a lot of the core modules all imported code from each ot

I wouldn't say that's true, I personally find Go code more confusing to read than the average language. For example: ``` func (r rect) area() int { return r.width r.height } ``` This syntax is strange to me despite being a

They tasted horrible but were cheap and would get you incredibly wired and drunk in a short amount of time. A perfect storm for binge drinking students, especially pre-gaming early in the night for other parties/bars. It was a fun time

FYI Stripe (and many other fintechs) uses Evolve extensively for many of its products too, e.g. Stripe Treasury. https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/treasury > With Stripe Treasury, platforms can offer their users

Well I was certainly not expecting to come back and find a large comment thread about _this_ part of my comment. The funny thing is I know the proper usage, I was simply typing fast and rephrased my sentence structure a couple times so the

I would say it's quite fair. It's not just me but several coworkers, other people in this thread, and reviews on the actual VSCode extension itself. I sank several hours trying to fix whatever issue it has with my system and conti

I tried last month and it was still a mess. The old Ruby extension used to work fine and the new LSP one from Shopify doesn't want to work for whatever reason.

Design for things to be easily failable. It should be trivial to have failed messages to go to a DLQ and then reprocess them later on, say after a bug fix. Only make additive changes, don't change existing fields. For enums it's u

Like anything it can be abused and sometimes folks go overboard with turning everything into an event. However, when done right, it is really amazing to work with. As an event producer as long as you follow reasonable backwards-compatibilit

The repeated case is something I hadn't thought of when I wrote the original comment since I would never do that so this got me curious. Looks like it _isn't_ guaranteed by any spec, and different frameworks have their own rules a

URLs can be tricky and have plenty of gotchas depending on what you're trying to do. For example, the order of query params is free to change but it's still the same URL. Nothing that can't be worked around with a little norm

A rate-limit is most often some arbitrarily configured static value, e.g. each org can make 10 req/s. It's much harder to configure rate limits against some dynamic value like system load so most go with the static value approach.

(author here) Thanks for pointing this out, you're right that Loan would most likely be a POJO with other surrounding helper abstractions. Might rework this code example a bit so it's a fairer comparison. The point I was trying to
