    For fucks sake. And I get downvoted for this? Are we serious? I've been articulating the problem for months now as have others. Obviously there's no intention from the benevolent d…

    +1 Same feelings, outlook and perceived quality of discourse exactly. Couldn't agree more with the proposed countermeasures. Kudos for stepping up and proposing them.

    >> it’s about high performance computing. Yes. That's what I said. So, advocating for Rust in a non-high-perf requirement project makes for extra effort/optimization where it is no…

    I understand the layoffs in Airbnb and the airlines. But I'm not sure I can justify the layoffs in linkedin. If anything there are more people looking for a job than before so I'd …

    I'd add to the disadvantages: * Cold start time may hurt your latency * Max timeout which makes serverless a non-option for long-running processes

    That's true but it also goes the other way. Assume you're living in a mid-range western-world city, e.g. Berlin. And assume you're competing with a similar to you dev who's living …

    I was afraid of that myself -working somewhere in a middle-ground country. That my job would soon be offshored to a cheaper country in a race-to-bottom way. But then I started look…

    IMO you should have ended the interview the moment you detected that you were being treated poorly. Let alone not doing the homework.

    There. That's it. All this is a far-from-optimal filter for the total strangers. Get a foot in the door with an established insider and you get right to the last interview(s). No W…

    I've done this a couple of times. All for German companies in Germany. The last one took me a weekend. They liked it and booked me a ticket for on-site. Where they whiteboarded the…

    In my (bitter) experience, in the pre-covid days, they had a laptop in the meeting room and you got to choose between it and the whiteboard.

    Not in Amazon myself but rumor has it that Amazon is actually the inverse of what OP describes - more at the verge of sweatshop rather than an easy-boring-sail downwind.

    If things come to that I doubt the practicality of it all. But it makes easy headlines. It also makes open source an immortality project for a lot of people.

    I think we are mistaking Airbnb for couchsurf. Even in the cases when I met my hosts the transaction was 100% monetary one. Not one of them, ever, offered me to stay some more free…
