So there are no office politics or bad work environments outside FAANG? I've worked in both FAANG and run of the mill tech shops, and I vastly prefer the professionalism and less p…

This is insane.

Isn't it inefficient for both mom & dad to take their parental leave at the same time? Wouldn't it be better to alternate like 8 months + 2/4 months so that atleast one person is a…

Another same here. I didn't need to buy a console, a tv or even a controller. It feels like unlimited power to be able to access RDR2 on just another tab - 13 year old me would hav…

Every four years today's high schoolers graduate college and start earning money. They don't witness the previous cycle and it's lessons, so they are impressed by the tech and don'…

This is similar to a goal I had during childhood (very naive obviously) - that I should try and write a heartfelt essay addressed to all the terrorists around the world. And if all…

I sense a pattern in your complaints...by any chance do you also oppose abortion?

What country is that? I'm pretty sure it will have issues of inclusivity, you just don't see them because you're not affected by it.

Just need a music one please.

The previous VP engg of twitter was also a white guy from south africa. (mike montano)

I may be wrong, here are my impressions from 5 minutes spent googling - he already made his fortune in past decades. He is not really in the limelight, not building revolutionary s…

Basically he's got a lot of money. People will attack him no matter what he does, in an effort to redistribute his wealth. It's game theory, there are no billionaires who are liked…

This seems like a facetious word-salad. You asked if a poem that was written then burned, still exists. He answered that the poem exists in his memory. It doesn't make any sense to…

In the long term, perhaps climate change would make russia an attractive destination for immigration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY9NjD_5WWo

Same here. Way too distracted and barely written a line of code at my faang workplace today even though it's simple bash script and I would have blazed through stuff like this year…

Happened to me with FIFA in college. I could see balls passing and common patterns of crosses/attacks/corners playing on the back of my eyelids. I realized I had drilled the footba…

Exactly. The main feed doesn't hold any meaning for me now. I find I miss around 50% of my friend's posts and reels if I don't check their profile manually. I only use it for seein…

Agreed, I liked the community and bonding aspects as well. And I'm saying this as a first-generation immigrant who isn't even Christian - even though I know the church's overall ma…

Would it have been easier to generate these images on some cloud gpu and stream/send the images to a smart tv? To avoid building and fabricating all the hardware components?

Get started on applying, the confidence that a new job will give you will allow you to transition/learn faster.

Great comment. Reiterate the last point - watching netflix shows or reading Blind or spending time with social climbers - that stuff looks like leisure but doesn't really recharge …

That's a good thing.

Exactly. Many times I've typed out a comment and at the last moment refrain from posting, because I feel it doesn't really add to the discussion. I'd rather there be less higher-qu…

Nope, if people in less developed countries had acceptable work conditions and were able to realize their potential in terms of skills and passion, we'd have 10x the number of inno…
