I’ve got a decade’s worth of 4x6 pictures and negatives from my childhood. Would something like this help me digitize them?

You should have several resumes. Your SWE resume should focus heavily on your technical abilities. Your PM resume can talk more about this other stuff (not an expert). As it stands…

What kinds of jobs are you applying for? Your first job talks more about the business side of starting this startup than your technical experience. I think there needs to be an emp…

Who would possibly buy Chrome? Letting any of the large tech companies purchase it (the only possible buyers) would just give someone else monopolistic power. Chrome can’t exist as…

Wrong link.

The ceiling is so much higher in coastal cities though. I moved right after college because I wanted to become rich. There’s not a strong path in Michigan to become rich (or even n…

I grew up in Michigan and I love seeing how the ecosystem has grown. Talent retention is a major problem for the state. The brain drain really stems from the University of Michigan…

Shopify provided a strong alternative to Amazon, which is the dominant player. There are plenty of strong alternatives to Netflix. Disney is looking to be the strongest at the mome…

I think you’re overstating what this “secret software does.” Those organizations are willing to invest money into software that makes them better at what they do. It’s not magic, i…

I would love nothing more than for this to be true. It just isn’t. A fancy new office building doesn’t change the fact that Ford’s culture, poor salaries, and bureaucracy will scar…

Automotive doesn’t pay well by tech standards. Amazon’s engineers in Detroit are paid far better than their automotive counterparts. Detroit has a good tech talent base, but sadly,…

Why do you say that? As somebody that was briefly looking for a job in SE Michigan, I found the salaries much lower (even with COL taken in account)

Agree with all of this. The Metro Detroit area is diversifying itself better than it ever has. The biggest problem I see is recruiting talent. The University of Michigan has establ…

For a company that’s trying to automate an industry (Shore), I’ve ancedotally heard nothing good about their technical stack and technical talent.

As a UMich grad, most of us left because of the low salaries. It’s appalling how little software engineers make in the state and how much companies complain about an inability to f…

I grew up in the Metro Detroit area and moved out to the coasts after graduating from Umich a couple years ago. There’s more excitement around Detroit than I’ve seen at any point i…

The Detroit wealthy suburbs are still very rich. Probably some of the richest in the country (Oakland County is a top 10 county of > 1M pop in terms of per-capita income) But, as s…

The salaries, sadly, are really lagging. I just graduated from UMich and I can name a small handful of people who stayed in the state. The vast majority of them moved out west. Eve…
