Their people pop up in every hiring thread on HN, it isn't just warent and it isn't the first time.

My experience was the same as tedvim above - it was utterly dehumanizing and there's no way I want that either for myself or for the people I hire. The interviewers were smug littl…

Karat embodies everything wrong with the tech industry, and Triplebyte wasn't much better. I've interviewed - and hired - hundreds of people in my career. This robotic approach wit…

Lemme share still another perspective that hasn't gotten any media time... my accountant at the time recommended we apply for EIDL instead of PPP, for various reasons. So here we s…

I'm a white dude, and had an incident a number of years ago in which a group of Indian contractors basically didn't want to work with me because I was a white dude. Used a number o…

Hobby beekeeper here... I kinda disagree with her final summary... I get her point, but there are benefits to encouraging more people to keep them: -- Additional pollinators. -- Aw…

There are many that would say Heller was an activist court making up law and completely overlooked precedent in Miller , in the same way the current court is overturning decades of…

um... why do you think these conservative judges were named to the court? They know exactly what they are doing and have every intention of ending contraception, sending women's ri…

Consider this a bit of code switching. Many of us absolutely are concerned about what this means for women, but we also know that this forum skews male and a particular kind of mal…

Oh for Pete's sake go back to your mom's basement you troll. Have you looked through your comments on this thread and others? You aren't adding to the dialog here, you are just bei…

Am I the only person who has never even heard of half these products, let alone used them? If Apple can do something better than they can or their products weren't compelling enoug…

My point is log analysis is noise to the signal. A poor way to discern what went wrong or to proactively monitor to avoid an incident in the first place. There are loads of tools o…

FWIW: In my career doing this kind of work, I found logs to be archeologically interesting, but seldom of value. Products that claimed to do things with logs gave me skepticism, be…

I give you credit for working in this space and trying to create a more automated approach... I spent many years in the app performance world both as a consultant and working on pr…

The WSJ deserves its own special place in hell. Once upon a time 20ish+ years ago, it was solid business and economic news. Then they decided to do a redesign to be more general ne…

The editorial / opinion pages of both NYT and WaPo ruined them for me. Thinking people want to read provocative, thoughtful perspectives that may challenge them, but the people and…

My son, also 13, just went through a program at school where they built a basic website from scratch, then did some python, then some java. They had some kind of teaching environme…

In this thread there are a lot of people overlooking that even someone who is financially disciplined can lose it all very quickly. Their own health or the health of someone close …

>I think blockchain is an interesting technology that does have some unique qualities. The way I phrase it is, blockchain offers an interesting/useful requirements document, with a…

I've been out of software for about two years...is this test really now a thing or is this a submarine article to promote its use?

Thank you for this - you put into words very well all of the problems I had with that book. In fact, I found myself very frustrated with the authors, wondering if they had any fami…

From 2008-2018, I went all over the world handling incidents and attempting to teach companies how to do the kinds of things the author is talking about. It was multi-diciplinary a…

That's a really interesting observation you make, and one where I'll have to think on it for a bit. One of my thought exercises on this is to think about Glen Gould vs. Simone Dinn…

I think most people in this area have a pretty general idea where it is... While I am at best an amateur mycologist, where drdec below has me angry at his/her sarcasm is that as a …

May I ask - did you have a previous background in music? When I think of my own experiences and those of not only my kids but other musicians I've observed, two years is really jus…
