I'll echo that the UI design is cool. I do think it could be improved to help parse information. Right now, it feels like everything is bold, highlighted, italicized, or something …

I built something like this at work using plain Docker images. Can you help me understand your value prop a little better? The memory forking seems like a cool technical achievemen…

Good for you for trying to do right by your team, but oof. An entirely junior team with no tech leadership is going to have problems beyond mentorship.

iirc, eqemu reverse engineered the server based on the traffic. I remember being impressed.

You can always ask the team. Either in a 1-1 or a retro, "What does my role look like for you?" or "What are your expectations of a manager?"

For reference, 14 yoe and currently in management. Today, I don't think the tools are good enough to make a material difference. It may help a bad engineer tread water, but it won'…

Hopefully it will eliminate all the boring shit like managing JIRA, giving status updates, and following up with communication tasks. Another large part of my day is also troublesh…

When you say 'analytics database', what kind of performance are you implying? Massive queries that respond in 10min? How tuned were things for the queries you were running? I'm cur…

https://github.com/apache/doris Is a great example. Same for it's cousin https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks that was an early fork of the doris project. To be fair, these are t…

A junior dev isn't competing with those people. Teams don't only hire senior+. SWE is still a fine career.

my self?

What process is going to help senior contractors understand the codebase they've been in for 2+ years? We can create spike tickets all day, but at a point, that's just a distractio…

1. Org of 1000+ engineers has no shared services. Each team does CICD themselves and in different ways. Each team has different patterns for sharing data. The SREs we do have only …

Splitting teams with interconnected and related work, I do something like https://agilesquads.org/ . For each sprint, we'll have a planning cadence where we scope 2 weeks of work e…

That GMT offset is probably from your browser. The github API doesn't include timezone information. If this is the direction you want to go, the only way I can think of determining…

No, eng and product are separate orgs, but I'll work with them on process, documentation, meetings, etc. I'm a big believer in demonstrating value before asking people to do more w…

I'm at a tech company as an EM. My primary responsibility is making sure my team is delivering high quality software. Sometimes this means my job is documentation, testing, being a…

fwiw, I'm currently ending ~6mo of time off. I'm further in my career, 15 YOE and in management. I didn't plan this and only did it as a result of joining a toxic startup. The time…

There's a tangent behavior where people are difficult because it gives them power/control. You add just enough interpersonal friction and people will do it your way. It's similar t…

I've been doing interviews with Series B-D startups and one issue that seems to recur is a lack of management experience. Generally, an engineer gets promoted to some level of mana…

I'll add here, even if it's not really what you're looking for. I'm a director, not at faang, fwiw. My first 2 years of managing was hands on, probably 50% coding. I had a small sc…

Interesting. Guess I'll have to figure out social media after all. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how did you find your customers? I'm building out my MVP to scratch my own itch, but have been hesitating putting it in front of others.

I don't think I really understand what you're getting at. What I'm hearing is that the culture is different, but I'm not sure how that fits into product vs project. It kinda sounds…

levels.fyi has ranges for metro areas and mostly aligns with what I said.
