Btw how do you know your current manager is not doing that.
I don't. That's why I said hope :)
You’ll know when he ends every meeting with “dummies, get back to work”

#192I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too. Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.
Sometimes if everyone else is the problem you are the problem.

#193I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically. This sure do…
If Netflix still interviews on hacker rank puzzles I think this should be a wake up call. Interviewing on irrelevant logic puzzles is no match for systems engineering.
For systems design and engineering, absolutely this. I expected the very highest standards and upmost uptime from Netflix, similar to Google and Amazon.
Tells you the uselessness of their engineering blogs.

Hmm. Engineering managers should be setting the team culture and determining best criteria for extending an offer to a candidate. If theres a problem with the hiring process I'd look for the closest source that could or should be fixing it. I don't think I'd want to work for you.

that’s totally unacceptable for live sports which people are able to bet on
Why should they catering to such an audience in first place? I think this could be one of upsells that Netflix could use. Premium: get no delay Normal users: get cache and delay
Or, hear me out here, it's a wild concept, just work.
You know, like every other broadcaster, streaming platform, and company that does live content has been able to do.
Acting like this is a novel, hard problem that needs to be solved and we need to "upsell" it in tiers because Netflix is incompetent and live broadcasting hasn't been around for 80+ years is so fucking stupid.

Is cable and broadcast better for live TV? No scaling issues. Doesn't matter how many people tune in.
Seems like it

Netflix pivoted to be a platform to waste as much of your time as possible vs entertain. The Amazon originals are way better imo. They do the dark pattern crap with paid content, as one would expect from Amazon.
Every Amazon show looks the same, yellow washed or something; and they should spend more money on costumes - they get beat by low budget cosplay.
Fallout was pretty good. Very loyal to the game.

I've never seen a team that has somehow managed to hire exclusively morons. Even the shittiest of call center jobs and construction crews have a few people with enough brain cells to tie their shoelaces. Have you considered that maybe you're being overly harsh about your co-workers? Maybe take the fact that one of them was hired by a top paying employer as a sign that you should improve your own ability to judge skil…
I've seen tons of them! The formula is to create conditions that will make even slightly competent people leave. They hire their morron nephew, he is always 30 min late then they moan when you are 5 min late because the parking lot was blocked by their car. He always leaves 2 hours early while you do overtime that they regularly forget to pay for. Your day is filled with your own work PLUS that of your retarded coworkers who only drink coffee while joking about you doing their work. You are not as fast as the last guy! haha! If something goes wrong the morrons collectively blame you, just like the last time. You get a formal warning. etc etc The other normal person they hire is let go after 2 days because they complaint which means they didnt fit the team.
And so on
If he still works there the morron who left was less of a.
