I do think it's possible that streaming game services and what you are talking about wind up a little different. I could imagine that streaming game services could spin up and down servers more dynamically depending on demand. There wo

Maybe worse for you. My experience certainly contradicts your claim. And I suspect that your claim is anecdotal as is mine. The difference is I am only speaking about my experience where you are attempting to make a sweeping judgement based

I found wikipedia's interface to be pretty unfriendly for me as a new user. Stackoverflow was a lot easier for me to get started with. Maybe that lower barrier to entry leads to more random posts from people that are "low quality?

Nice, that's very cool. I have noted in my life that keeping a band together is like 4X the difficulty of keeping a romantic relationship afloat. The 4 in 4X is really just the number of people in the band. :)

Hah, cool story. It's interesting that both the comments were from musicians. I too am a musician myself. Sounds like things have worked out great for you. I think there are two different general ways of thinking. One is to do the lean

It's funny, the worst engineer I ever hired did great on our Codility tests. Maybe he just cheated, he actually scored higher than myself. Just a little anecdote but we no longer use Codility at my company. :)

Same. I've never had someone come in for a face-to-face interview that literally couldn't code at all. I've worked at and interviewed loads of people from small startups all the way up to a top 5 US tech giant. Still have nev

I don't understand how this is a problem? If OP is a Senior Dev and interviewing for another Senior Dev role, wouldn't you assume that this new role is probably going to require similar skills to perform similar managerial type re

I'm not positive but I feel like this is getting mistakenly lumped into the issue of censorship by big tech companies? I could be being naive but this seems like an echo chamber problem that faces websites attempting to surface content

I still totally disagree with your narrative. There is no natural monopoly in health care. New hospitals continue to be built all the time. You can goto your CVS and see a doctor if you want. There are tons and tons of choices and competiti
