There is also the fact that hiring outside can be preferred to promoting internally for some reason I have yet to figure out.

I fully agree here. It's also not uncommon to have the reply for specific items be "Ahh, well that is a bit of an edge case see because of X and Y" and then you learn there are many many "special cases" to the point

It's funny that the post states: "None of these band-aids really help — we still all hire tons of false positives (unqualified) and turn away false negatives (actually qualified), despite every attempt to make the process perfect,

That wasn't the question though was it. Compared to most businesses those are good margins. There isn't any business on earth that compares to the margins of HFT firms. Regardless they aren't asking for big tech or HFT level

See my further reply, margin of 20% give or take 10% depending on scale (on average, some products obviously have incredibly high or low margins as is typical in the creative industry). My point about revenue was that games are pulling in m

My point was we know those are decent margin industries and video games aren't any more expensive, but anyway you usually look at 20% margin in the industry give or take 10% depending on the scale and particularly advertising costs at

They pay slightly above market rate compared to standard software in the UK, but below London/FAANG wages.

Margins are high. The video game market makes twice the combined revenue of all film/music markets combined.

I've been done by illegal electronics on Amazon too many times. They don't seem to care at all. You can still buy chargers on them that are in an advisory red list on gov UK....

Isn't the Uk the opposite? There are many visas in which you have to be in the UK to apply. This is why we have people coming on boats, and why they are not illegal immigrants. They technically have to travel here to apply for aslyum,

It's become rather clear that Open source licenses are vulnerable, since defending them costs large amount of money, and proving violations can be hard since by definition the products that break them are closed-source.

So many people in the comments here are making assertions about the quality of the rust re-write but the point largely remains the same. There is no way you've read all million LOC in the time and reviewed to make sure it really is tra

Single digit is fairly normal in several of the industries I have detailed knowledge of. Though now interest rates are up most are targeting 10-12%.

I don't think it's that unique but Engineering type people might be more optimisation minded and see total comp as something to optimise.

Europe. 100k USD is about 75k GBP, which deducting National Insurance (our social security program) and pension brings you to a salary of £63k roughly. You can easily hire good devs for this amount (especially outside of london).

It's largely also down to management hierachy. Valve and Jane street for example both have semi-anarchist managment structures. In normal companies like GitLab, your worth as a manager and compensation is usually tied directly to the h

I'm not suggesting the banks invest. But that individuals could withdraw money to invest. All I am saying is there is still lots of 'dry powder' left in the financial system. There is no shortage of liquid cash to invest, onl

P/E is not an indicator of available to deployed capital. Just in the EU alone there is about €12 trillion in bank deposits which could be invested. There is no lack of liquid capital to be invested.

That's not true. It self selects for people who are focused on making money, not for the best software guys. There are for sure some people in that venn diagram who overlap, but it is not that self-intersecting. This is mainly because

Well, a higher pension contribution means you don't have to save as much of your take home pay for when you get old, allowing you to spend more of what you earn theoretically, but I get your point yes. The reason they can't offer

Having data processed in the UK is not for privacy reasons, but legal reasons when working in Govt. fields such as legal/healthcare/security. For privacy most companies choose juristications with better privacy laws such as switze

You could just use a standard microphone for that, no need to have something so over-engineered as in the OP.

Interestingly on Facebook, Threads and Instagram, Meta keeps trying to push it's video creation AI to me, with short video clips showing exactly this sort of content. So it seems Meta itself is pushing you to create it also.

Yeh, the structure is very very very confusing. Largely because you have the Hospital's themselves, then the trusts, then NHS England, or I guess now just the DHSC? And then occasionally even more layers in-between like health boards.
