I read this as tongue-in-cheek. The author was amused at his younger self’s naïveté and entitlement in assuming such a raise was a given and planning it on a timeline app. So I thi…

I found the book “Good Strategy, Bad Strategy” was pretty close to what you are talking about. * Good definitions of what is or is not a strategy * How to identify whether you have…

My advice is, watch your costs. When you leave paying work it’s easy to think the slug you’ve got in the bank will last a while. But traction will take 2-3x longer than you think, …

To be fair, all the other interview rounds were with more junior, low-EQ CS nerds like me, so he could still be pretty confident the candidate would get a good grilling.

I’m finding this more useful as a reverse search! “Paid, supported, professional alternative to”

This is a random place to throw this at you, but you seem like you have a) the skills and b) and the motivation. The internet needs an “allowlist” front end for kids, especially fo…

I would think that as you grow, economies of scale will kick in and the cost per search should go way, way down.

WhatsApp is probably their best property.

At my old job in the UK, we always got better results hiring engineers from Imperial College (which is the UK attempt at an MIT/Caltech-type of school) than from Oxbridge. We event…

It’s factual, but I think it’s there because it sounds exotic and makes the title more interesting.

> know deep down this is bad for the long term It’s bad for your sense of self-worth, even if it’s not objectively a bad thing. One day you might ask yourself “Where would I be if …

Consider taking a longish holiday (like 3 weeks)? If at the end of it you don’t want to come back, quit. But that might be long enough to scratch the itch and feel refreshed.

I was a younger, inexperienced tech lead sitting in on an interview led by an engineer about 10 years older than me. I was shocked when he spent the whole hour asking soft question…

Have a look at this comment I saw on here previously, it’s a great example of the article’s idea in practice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31451536

Yeah I understand but I disagree. If you race a skilled Rust team against an equally skilled C++ team to build some big complicated fast software, the Rust team would likely ship f…

Those maximums in Europe are largely ignored in high-paying roles (like what Tesla engineers would certainly be). As an example, in London when you get a high-paying finance job, o…

This isn’t an Elon tweet. > Can't he just keep it focused on the cars and the share price? I actually agree with your sentiment, but for a different reason - I think tweeting is a …

Ha I do exactly this. Windows with Linux in a VM is great.

Not OP but here are a couple reasons: * It doesn’t scale well to huge organisations. * It’s not standardised “repeatable” in the sense that you cant generate datasets from this tha…

I think parents should be allowed to hit their kids for being ungrateful little runts.

The problem is this: One day, people who think like you will come to power and decide that under their administration, [activity your livelihood is based on] constitutes “extractin…

Using a VR screen could make a lot of sense here. Along with a split keyboard so he can have his hands flat on either side of his body. Would also make it easier to get up off the …
