I believe you can just hit /cost within a session for this

This was me for a long time and it got even worse especially with Humble Bundles — I often ended up buying games on say PS5 though I had them on steam. Ended up building a side pro…

Thanks for writing this up! I learnt a bunch from it. I noticed this didn’t discuss additional layers of caching - I can see how it would fit in, but is prompt caching out of the s…

Case in point: 2 years ago i interviewed at a number of places with mind boggling valuations and most of the places I got offers from either no longer exist or laid off half their …

They moved to Hack many years ago, at some point the languages diverged too much

As a sibling commenter said, it helps brand and recruiting - which meta cares about

I don’t know if that would have helped here, if memory serves me right: 1. The copy was needed initially 2. This structure wasn’t as heavy back then … over time the code evolved so…

That one diff blew my mind when I saw it. It’s a prime example of that story about “you paid me a lot of money to know where to fix that pipe”

This echoes well. The most popular posts on my blog are things where I wrote things for myself (e.g. reflections on my career), rather than trying to orient them for an audience or…

I have been using the product for a while and I’m a huge fan. At least for solo/side projects it helps me get reviews in an easy manner similar to what I’m used to at $dayjob and t…

> Please explain exactly how you managed to put together a test suite that costs up to 50€ to run. I'm not OP but have worked with them: have you considered a repo that might have …

yeah. I am talking about repos with hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of tests. Here's just one example of the scale: https://engineering.fb.com/2018/11/21/developer-tools/…

In large mono-repos, like this one is presumably targeting, running all tests in the repo for a given PR would take years (maybe even decades/centuries) of compute time. You have t…

I built the same for my browser extension (effectively dead product) -- would love to see if this pattern has a name so I can share it more widely!

I was at meta. What do you mean? It’s how we used to define staff in our cross company leveling docs.

This is a great idea! I remember facing similar pains when applying to dozens of companies last year and talked about a similar idea with a friend - glad to see someone building it…

It does show up on mobile; but only at the top and it’s easy to miss

It varied, but I would say most places I looked at were comparable (or higher). there were a few places with lower comp that I was OK with (startups, or nonprofits).

I filtered companies down to places where I felt I had a good chance of success, and applied to jobs within my comfort zone - this was a very biased sample. I don't think this gene…

I was between jobs so I had the luxury to do this - I wouldn't recommend this heavy a schedule for people who already have a job. It's impossible.

I've generally had bad experiences with third party recruiters so I try to avoid them when I can. in your position I'd probably be upfront and mention the ranges you are OK with in…

whoops - will fix, thank you!

thanks for hitting the nail on the head - this is what I saw. I was comfortable with TLM/pure people manager, but not the hybrid (been there, done that - it was rough).

I agree it's touchy unfortunately. I'm not comfortable sharing in public due to $REASONS, but I have been sharing with friends/family/folks who've been looking. I will say I got of…

I was genuinely glad I didn't get those offers as it would be awkward turning them down. As an example, in one of the cases they were looking for someone who could do a lot more fr…
