>you can just update the webhook URL Fair enough, but often consumers that use multiple vendors receive webhooks in the same service; think about going from /v1/webhooks -> /v2/web…

Disallowing redirects altogether is probably too big of a hammer. There are legit reasons to use redirects (like migration to new versions). A limit to the number of redirects seem…

The FAANG have a lot more leverage over their employees than people seem to think. Very few if any outside of these companies pay a mid level engineer 700k (yes, this number is rea…

You didn’t address whether engineers at Netflix would put up with this. > I'm pretty sure that is what they are going for here with the global leaderboard Sorry, I’m confused. This…

The structure already exists. It’s called your bug tracker. By building tools to gamify this process, it’s clearly incentivizing devs to put in more hours. I have no doubt that the…

> The risk to the company is pretty low that their employee would show up on a global leaderboard. This invalidates your other point that it benefits developers. Why would a dev si…

LOL. Developers are so gullible. It would be cute if it weren’t so tragic. They’re giving out t shirts and jackets for 10s of thousands of $ worth of work and we’re lapping it up. …

It’s not surprising considering that employees and founders of ad funded companies hang out here. In this case, jedberg (correct me if I’m wrong) was an early employee at Reddit, w…

Heh, so many valley people microdose openly. It's not a fireable offence. Also, that incident happened in 2019. Why fire him now?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off condescending at all, it was a genuine question! At the end of the day, these are all just tools and people have their preferences. I try not to ge…

I sympathize with the general sentiment of your argument, which is what initially drew me towards Go (in addition to the hype). For better or worse, Go is where all the energy is i…

Right, I wanted to have the “modern development experience” as much as possible. Most tutorials out there still recommend VSCode to get started with Go.

As an experienced Java programmer , I decided to do a project in Golang to see for myself what the hype was all about. And it was...underwhelming. The Go plugin for VScode barely w…

Also, to caution folks who think India is only a place for "cheap devs", there is a perfect confluence of factors happening right now that is driving salaries up and incentivizing …

Indian tech salaries are very bi-modal. I'm not talking about body shops here - I'm talking about capable engineers who can get hired in SV, though not necessarily at FAANG. Think …

The salaries in Germany for engineers are astoundingly low. Good engineers from India (I'm Indian working in SV) often ask me if it's worth migrating to Germany since US immigratio…
