This is a followup from my last question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9947816 I am now an entry level SWE, and have interviewed in person many places, including Googl…

I'm not too well educated on their gov'ts, but how effective was it? Any signs or indicators that it worked out for the better? Call me intolerant or ignorant, but I personally fea…

This is pure speculation, but I think the devaluation on PhDs in America might have to do a lot with the large of influx of people in college just attending to "get a degree". I fe…

I've known PhD friends that will straight up lie on their resumes when applying to places and only list that they're a masters student. I'm fairly sure this is legal since they tec…

Well, that's depressing. Almost hard to believe, to be completely honest -- but I might just be around the right group of people?

I don't really follow how having money in stocks, bonds and a house is somehow capable of being wiped away by the market when a savings account in a bank wouldn't be in dire strait…

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the point was that savings accounts are not worth it, leading many people to say their saving accounts are barren, not that they don't have sa…

Come now, even the video states itself that's likely fake.

I totally get what you mean but that isn't really the issue here. While over-sensitivity is often an honest worry plenty of people have to needlessly worry about when trying to cri…

Honestly, I think that this introduces a new barrier that trolls and abrasive people won't go through the bother of doing -- but people genuinely interested won't really find this …

Wow seeing a clear example yourself really just gets the picture across. I was giving some credence to the fact that these people were just blunt to each other, but this is just to…

Not to nitpick, but it is perfectly possible to be honest with someone without coming across as hostile. There may be cases where being blunt and honest might be difficult without …

Thanks for the read, just finished. The most interesting thing about this post for me is that what he's saying seems like it should just be common sense -- of course that's the way…

My process to learning programming and the people I've talked to, as well as the experience in my current industry all might be intersting reads -- just wondering, but is there any…

Thanks, I truly appreciate the offer, however right now I'm more committed to pursuing more of a pure software position as I feel there's so much to learn in that field. Had I know…

Yeah, it's what's been keeping me up at night. I'm a fairly safe person, so I don't like risks, but one day I had a realization: "What am I doing with my life? Is this /really/ wha…

I'm honestly comforted to see this being a common thing among posters here. And I agree, as I look into my company's chain it just gets more business focused the higher you go, and…

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was thinking that if I stay relatively low level or do arduino and FPGA work on the side, my EE fundamentals can transfer and mix with my software ski…

This coincides with what my friend told me as well -- he said most CS graduates don't really get low level hardware processes, and my knowledge in that can be quite desirable, espe…

I am a recent Electrical Engineering graduate, and graduated in May 2014. I chose Electrical Engineering as my major because I was interested in hardware development, but upon grad…
