When is the best time to visit Carrizo?

Honestly, never encountered that. In my experience bootcampers are usually self-conscious about their background. Maybe they behave differently at small companies/startups (my expe…

That still doesn’t make bootcamps a red flag. Also, there are many self-taught programmers who complete a bootcamp just to gain confidence, make connections, etc.

Hm, I think a counterargument to that is that there is always work, so not sure where that leaves you…

These "oscillations" are compatible in my view. Empathy does not equal enablement - a maxim that is at the core of a lot of confusion in the modern-day culture war. Hearing the opp…

Thanks for your analysis. To clarify my earlier remark: there must be something _personal_ that is at play here. While political, social, cultural dissonances are all often very vi…

I don’t think many people left those days TBH. I personally saw how 2 large RN efforts have been rolled back to native at a big tech company. I don’t know whether RN is gaining tra…

Yes but in reality this is in addition to 3 leetcode grinder interviews.

Question #3 offers a great opportunity to make the interviewer feel very uncomfortable. Tell them your bad habit is sticking boogers on your keyboard.

Questions like #5 are some of my least favorite. I don’t know if it’s only prevalent in the US, but can we stop throwing around phrases like “why are you the best” or “what is your…

I would feel grateful for this question. It would allow me to quickly reject this company and move on.

I am not trying to nitpick - just giving my honest feedback. This submission is not for a technological breakthrough that I would admire from a theoretical perspective. This proble…

Depends on the user’s expectations, I guess. The demo you linked does not feel close to native yet. Lots of reflows, small shifts, inconsistent rough animation… even for a web app …

Security cameras in universities seem to be accomplishing… nothing. I am getting very frequent emails (2-3 per week) from one of the top US universities with blurry unusable screen…

In an ideal world - yes. But seeing how overworked professors and other staff members already are in top universities, I doubt this is top of mind for them. There are courses with …

Agreed! It all probably started with big tech promoting the “data-driven decision” paradigm. Of course, in many cases this approach is effective, but it’s not a panacea and has its…

While I agree with your general skepticism, I also believe there are ways these data could benefit the students. Extracting value from operational data could mean modernizing curri…

Is it similar across all military branches or does Navy get special attention?

I don’t think Google will resort to matching my accounts by IP address or some fingerprinting technique. In any case, I am in the process of migrating off Gmail too, it just takes …

I am not going to finish reading this article as it’s clear what their angle is from glancing at the first couple of sentences. No one has ever claimed that the process of making a…

Over the past serval months I realized with certainty that I should never use my personal Gmail account for any other Google services. Gmail is Gmail only, for everything else crea…

Left the page when I was blocked by a signup modal after entering first two letters of the puzzle (iOS Safari).

Good point! I must admit I am not immune to that. While I wasn’t celebrating Covid deaths I certainly wasn’t mourning anyone who died because of what I considered was their own “fa…

I might be wrong but I like to believe that there is a critical difference between gossiping about Becky and laughing at people dying from AIDS. Saying that… maybe I just don’t kno…

I don’t know enough about your situation so not talking about your dad specifically… but there must be something else involved here than just culture war and political powerlessnes…
