Ah, reminds of my first car. I got a new Corolla and went on my merry way. But on the third day I found the steering stuck and extremely hard to maneuver. Scared the heck out of me…

> If you simply select positive results and exclude negative results then even the placebo group would show great success. Where did zosima ask to do that? They mentioned that the …

If there is an IC advancement track then the titles don't matter. All the discussion around titles is specifically to have an IC advancement track, which very few companies have.

This is still missing the point. The way to improve PM accountability isn't engineers fixing them. It's the organization's and leadership responsibility to ensure PMs are held acco…

No one is denying the need for PMs. OP is pointing out that PMs have too much decision making power, with too little accountability in most organizations. Your argument is akin to,…

Overengineering is typically a term thrown around when a manager wants to ship a system in half the time it actually would take to make a half-decent system!

+1. An over-engineered software is a bazooka when you need a hand-gun, not a malfunctioning handgun!

These are just fantastical musings of a product manager, who is pretty far from engineering, and thinks that their products fail because of engineers, not because they didn't get t…

So you are going on and on about a hypothesis without any backing numbers, while completely ignoring provided evidence on how the unvaccinated is more likely to end up in ICUs? Get…

+1 It must have not been the employee in particular. Big companies get sued all the time, and then all written records on work devices, for products that got sued, becomes evidence…

> Do you need to link your personal accounts with family photos and whatnot? Nope. You can create a separate iCloud account just for work. I did that during my time there. I always…

The article doesn't make sense. It's at best a clickbait, and at worse the author doesn't understand impostor syndrome at all, because an actual 'impostor' in an 'impostor syndrome…

That's an insane price ($5 a month). HBO subscription costs $14.99 a month. Expecting indi artists to get that level of revenue is insane.

Because ctci is a terrible book to start learning basics from. I agree with let perfect not be the enemy of the good, but CTCI/LC are not good, they are terrible and overwhelming f…

There is an update available to the Google app. It worked for me once I updated the app.

Google gets rid of this problem (either extremes) by formalizing style guides for the different coding languages people use in its organization. Checkout https://google.github.io/s…

Why would a crawler want to crawl the same page every second (let alone 71 times a second). Even if I were Google, wouldn't crawling any page every few mins (or say every minute) b…

Viruses can survive in the "permafrost", because they are frozen. Pretty sure no virus can survive for a 100 years buried in ground at normal temperatures!

Ah man. This makes me realize why my time at a recently IPO-ed tech company, as an engineer was so horrible. Except #10 the company is guilty of every single point.

Not sure if you are being downvoted but very much this. In my time at Google there has been very politically motivated engineering decisions (google scale code renaming to remove w…
