I found the blogs written by Jay Alammar to be much more informative and complete. It appears that companies are rehashing and compressing the same content to advertise their produ…

May be I'm old, but I love long form content and twitter took that away. People write long tweet threads instead of thinking things through and writing it in long form. This gives …

That doesn’t make him a good, responsible CEO.

I know this is going to be controversial, but I think it has to be said. Jack ruined Twitter first [1] (by over-hiring and then selling it to Elon) and now it's Block's turn. He st…

I'm an experienced C++ dev (10+ yrs). What's the best way to learn Rust? Books? Projects?

And they pay well like FAANG? Examples?

I don't know if you work in FAANG or no, but most FAANG interviews just don't work this way. So, as much as I like this style, it's just 1 company and definitely not the norm. The …

Curious why this is important enough to be on the front page. Even as a techie I don't find this news interesting, at least not HN front-page worthy. (Instead of down voting it wou…

I love sqlite but can't hold myself from saying: another day, another sqlite post on HN :-)

I'm not talking about promotions particularly.

Exactly. IC career is not as sexy as HN makes it to be. People pursuing IC careers are doing it for personal reasons, definitely not for growth. Compared to management it takes an …

Meta expects you to have managed at least 40 ppl before considering them for a M2 role. M2s made $800k+. Why wouldn’t a manager not be motivated to grow his empire? How else do you…

Things are not as black and white as they seem. It's a spectrum - from people who detest mgmt to people who realize the value of it. You fall somewhere in the spectrum depending on…
