The reason I pick Django for others is because I don't pay for the server costs. If servers are free, I would use Django myself..

Hi HN, I am fairly versatile with both Django and Go, and built web applications using both for other people, but I am permanently crippled in the decision to pick one for my own p…

It's not a bother if the amount is that small. I currently make ~180k including stocks. Then I hear AirBnB guy that gets ~230k including stocks, or an Uber employee getting ~280k i…

There's always a bigger fish. So likely the moment I move I am unhappy again. But I see your point.

Wow! Growth is really really good!

What is your tech stack? Did you build your messaging layer? Is it written in React Native / Native? You need to provide some details to generate interest.

I think he is trolling people with the suicide talk.

Same here. Looks like AMZN these days is way easier to get into compared to Google and Microsoft. I couldn't even clear the first rounds at others, but got an offer from Amazon.

Thanks, this made things clear. I was seriously considering joining until the responses in this thread. Its better to wait for another offer for few more months rather than sufferi…

Was there any change from the time New York Times article was published? And does the pay + stock compensate for the bad work culture (if there is?)
