I also remembered his post about dropping $50k on the site redesign* I actually thought it was a big W for him when I saw this post. But I guess, if you consider the opportunity co…

It's almost a law "all technical discussions devolve into interview mind games", this industry has a serious interview/hiring problem.

Yeah, but you get points and badges for feeding it free knowledge, they get the cash, go figure. It's the perfect pre-NFT grift.

It's funny, since Stack Overflow has done EXACTLY this since day one (i.e. generate cash, with user knowledge provided for free). The only difference is SO uses community, gamifica…

Wow, it had been years since I read a Barry Schwartz post, a SEO authority since back in the day, I didn't realize his forum had turned so nasty. Funny you mention 'No content crea…

OP's line of thought is pretty clear with the other line: "bidding for candidates against their other options" Then he goes on about projects having negative value and also paying …

Conflating the three is easy, because instead of paying for delivered value, the company is doing arbitrage on location ( like it could do with gender, race or anything else) All c…

What an ending... I have never loved learning the details of an obscure communication protocol or the convoluted methods of a library written by someone who wants to show how good …

The information super-trash-way, the data is feeding on itself. We're heading back to the information dark ages. I don't know if I'm glad or sad, the pendulum is swinging the other…

Only now its more scalable to do content farm garbage with AI, it's cheaper SEO on steroids. I'm optimistic it will one day be possible to sift through AI generated garbage, but it…

So an account named 'amzn-throw' is trying to lecture you after leaving, this is very Amazonian of them, it's like a PIP beyond the grave.

If he's single, $70k for CDMX (Mty or Gdl, the other two metro cities) it can work, if he wants to raise a middle-class family not so much. Rents are $1.5-2K/month in nice neighbor…

Same hiring dynamic in Mexico. They started hiring heavily for various roles in the country's 3 major metro cities. Senior engineering roles going for $60K/yr USD. Amazon, the reta…

They're a poster boy for Latam tech due to their growth. While this post makes sense -- limiting tech choices -- it's rather contrarian, limiting choices to bleeding edge tech, whi…

Exactly And I actually thought photographers were extinct a long time ago by every human holding a cellphone (little to no need to know about lens apertures, lighting/shadows to ta…

I'm wondering the same, but for the narrower white collar subset of tech workers, what will today's UX/UI designer or API developer be doing in 5-10 years.

All the implications, from UI/UX to programming in general. Like how much of what was 'important' to develop a career in the past decades, even in the past years, will be relevant …
