ymmv I guess, I could "afford" much more rent than I pay (I suspect many staff+ big tech employees are in similar situations, especially if you're in a relationship with another SW…

fwiw at big tech companies I haven't found this to be true, bonus and refresher multipliers for the higher performance review ratings are significant

I do think that there's a meaningful difference between writing code that was bad (which I definitely did and do) and writing code where I didn't know what each line did . early on…

This is kind of a weird example to begin with on a forum mostly populated by software engineers, because I'd find it very weird if a manager ever objected to someone using their pe…

yeah I have repeatedly had things like "yOu DoN'T tRuSt YoUr BaCkeNd?!?!?!?" come up and am extremely tired of it when it's 2025 and we have libraries that solve this problem autom…

no, it's very useful for setting timers and for setting garbled reminders for a soon enough time that I'll remember what I actually meant rather than being confused by whatever it …

This is good context to add to the article, because he's basically at retirement age anyways . Depends a little on whether 1980s means "1980" or "1989" but with that resume I think…

"parse don't validate" is from: https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-va... looking at zod (assuming https://zod.dev ) it is a parsing library by that definitio…

My relationship is quite long-term, it can almost get its learner's permit, and we use Instagram all the time to, like, share cute animal videos from the Explore/Reels screens to e…

I like that JSON parsing libraries (Serde etc.) allow you to validate nullability constraints at parse-time. Protobuf's deliberate lack of support for required fields means that ei…

yes, but any sane JSON parsing library (Rust Serde, kotlinx-serialization, Swift, etc.) will raise an error when you have the wrong type or are missing a required field. and any JS…

What do you mean by "deferred" here? I'm a fairly high level IC at a big tech company (high TC), but it's only "deferred" in the sense of more of the TC being in RSUs (over 80%) wi…

I find wikis to always rot. In-code class/function/library documentation and --help for CLI tools are more likely to be updated when anything changes.
