Out of scope in this case means "we don't wanna pay you"

I’m a software engineer with 8 years in the industry, currently at an R&D lab as a staff software engineer. My wife’s an accountant. Across every job I’ve ever had — and every job …

Anecdotally I'd argue that it's not just "plenty", but the majority of people who only work one single job barely and/or pretend to work. I regularly see Principal+ engineers, VPs …

All anecdotes I see about this dude is: "we hired him and he did a fantastic job, but once we found out he had multiple employment we fired him". ... why? If the guy's doing well b…

I’ll admit, I’ve shown some of the same symptoms you’re describing. Not out of malice, but as the end-state of long-term burnout and disengagement, at an old job, many years ago. I…

I work at a place that's very much in the spirit of Bell Labs — CableLabs — a nonprofit R&D organization that serves the global cable industry. It’s been a pretty unique experience…

The canonical life vectors people used to align themselves to, largely school -> university -> job -> marriage -> house in the suburbs, are long dead. They don’t work anymore. They…

Exponential back-off while zooming in is nice, but maybe reset if scrolling back out.

Warning: unsolicited advice incoming. DFS, at least in the context of big-tech interviews, basically just means searching a 2D matrix, or a graph. It's not some esoteric 160 IQ PhD…

CDOT also encourages people to use more than 6 neurons while driving by posting "CAMP IN THE MOUNTAINS NOT THE LEFT LANE" on most interstates. Driving in CO is a _nightmare_.

Shame! Jack Ganssle is a gem for anyone wanting to get into embedded systems.

I did roughly the same thing many moons ago as the final "exam" for my undergraduate embedded systems course. We made Space Invaders, though :^) https://github.com/tuckerpo/MicroSp…

For very long local builds, like a full bitbake, I do `&& bell` so I know when to tab back to my build terminal. i.e. `bitbake bsp-vendor-full-image || beep && beep` so I get a sou…

Looks like the author really wants `rebase -i`
