You are doing what you are accusing the author of this piece of doing. Do you have anything to add about the total lack of evidence of the Bulstrode piece? Are you claiming that th…

A 100% salary boost is pretty large. If they are doubling your salary at the start up your compensation at your previous role is probably at about the bottom or even below the bott…

Its funny because my experience has been the exact opposite. I have sold three cars to them in the past 2 years (long story) and all of them were several thousand above what other …

Bobby Fischer was one of the greatest players in history, and he was EXTREMELY paranoid.

As soon as I see the JSX critique I roll my eyes. This has been around since reacts inception and it just doesn't hold any water for me. I remember interviewing with a company in 2…

That's the thing about react, there basically are no edges or very very few edges left. There were edges in like 2018, but the team has made it relatively easy to do anything you w…

So if these fields weren't highly regulated demanding personal projects from candidates would be a good approach for hiring?

Its the drugs fault. If the drug causes negative effects on a large subset of the people who use them, that is a problem with the drug.

This seems like it was more or less just a straight-up scam. They told customers that they were investing their funds in a diversified set of stablecoins. They promised the custome…

In my experience none of what you are talking about is necessary to have a successful tech career. In my case I have an English degree, went to a boot camp, and worked fairly hard …

I am definitely not an expert, don't know about the data around shelters. My understanding of shelters is that they make it a lot harder to do drugs and that is why a lot of the ho…

For those saying they should give these people services as well as housing - the problem is that they refuse services, but are given housing anyway. I just finished reading Sanfran…

Please kill me

They can look at the ledger, and show up to your house, take ownership of your house and put you in jail.

You have to hire people that don't have big egos, and are also high performers. Some people will obviously be higher performers than others but without egos communication works. If…

To be honest (as you asked for), it does come off as egotistical and a bit condescending. I would remove the "Thank you and sorry" and "The bar is high because my word carries weig…

It seems like if they intended to offer the bonus to you that this is a mistake, or a company that you don't want to work for, so it should be pretty easy to ask them about it and …

I'm at a company that is about one tier below FAANG and I'm making 250 total at a senior 1 role. Or I was before the stock market started tanking, now I'll be making about 220.

The bank will only cover what it is appraised at. You have to split the difference with cash. Some banks might be willing to give you different terms (higher apr, more down) but th…

itunes isnt p2p

This reminds me of a joke Norm MacDonald did on his podcast: Did you see the Great Gatsby? Did you see it in 3D? It was almost like the sober examination of the unrestrained materi…

Definitely not saying that. I would also argue that I am contributing less than a majority of my non tech friends, who all make less than me aside from a couple of doctors.

When I initially quit, I thought I was going to do something similar to what the author here was trying to do, after taking a couple of years off. I had some fantasy of being an ar…
