The lesson here is to be overemployed, do at least one interview process a quarter, and understand that companies don't give AF about you.

I wanted to get out of my office basement and into something that was close by, I went to a WeWork in my locality and while it was a nice space overall, I was astounded by both how…

grpcurl and httpie are so good it's ridiculous.

I'd love to move to NY but yeah, I have kids now and moving them from the acreage and amazing school district we have now is just not really an option.

Yeah, same. If you're a specialist and happen to have an in-demand skillset (backend, dist sys, GoLang), the volume of offers has been lower but still getting plenty of interest.

they were literally trying to recruit me last week

"Companies have been pumping and dumping for years, buoyed by cheap labor, and have not been intelligent enough to invest long term. And now, they're sad." FTFY

Okay, George Washington. You sure showed me the error of my ways.

I feel exactly zero sympathy for companies at this point. Y'all have spent years suppressing wages, making candidates jump through all kinds of hoops, and encourage a "fake it 'til…

> That seems like a pretty whacky theory to me because it assumes that companies only increase prices when forced to do so, and not just because they can. It comes across especiall…

> The truth is a significant portion of managers, in my experience, are not particularly well suited to the task or are incompetent on some level. Competent managers are few and fa…

This is biggest crock of shit I've ever read.

So basically every software engineer interview... ever.

Woah get out of here with your nuanced approach, this is the Hackernews comment section.

It's nice to hear someone admit that Google hires a lot of mediocre people. I'm also not shocked, their interview process invites people to gamify.

Yeah true, but this coming from the likes of Facebook and Google, two companies well known for warehousing talent... it mostly just comes across as tone deaf and naive. For years t…

> Can definitely speak to these cases - especially where you do great work and have a narrative that it was unappreciated - and clearly see lesser performing or less impressive col…

I turned down my offers from Google at Amazon because I value WLB and being able to continue with my freelance work and content creation. I figured working at a bank would be congr…

Given Monzo's hiring practices, I'm not sanguine about the future of this company. I myself went through their interview process not long ago and to say it lived up to the sentimen…

This is why I started my own contracting/consulting company, I hate on call and it always gets abused. I mean, really, what's going to happen if you can't see the score of a baseba…

This is the main reason that I use Go as my main language, and why many orgs are starting to adopt it: it's easy to read and jump into. I would argue, however, that it's very easy …

I remain unconvinced of a major recession, I think there are a lot of elites out there who are just angry that they now just can't borrow money for free, so they throw a tantrum. T…

The narrative is the elite are angry that it now actually costs something to borrow money.

Yeah I agree. There's no reason why a front end using TypeScript + React can't use WASM for it's backend connections, but building the entire thing in rust with Yew just seems like…
