I feel my job as an engineer is pretty safe, lots of domain knowledge required. Very confident no business type anywhere in the chain above me would be able to do the work I do in a month in even a year with the help of AI. Do we need 3 eng

Google is entrenched with career opportunists who are self serving, and are, excuse the lack of a better word, shitting out work to move stupid KPIs and continue the bureaucracy. A bloated Product org that advocates that something must be d

The first sentence is quite telling >We’ve got amazing talent, world-class compute and products… Products are third on the list. Google is an incubator for talent first and foremost. Products are an afterthought

Both the fact she spent 2 years at MS as a Marketing employee out of college and 4 years after she left MS she was VP at Facebook are true simultaneously, check the Wikipedia link I sourced.

Product managers at Google have a strangehold on their bad releases. It's become a whole thing for engineers to have to please their XFN (cross functional) partners in product and UX for review cycles and promos.

Stock is down quite a bit after hours. I think Meta still has a strong hold on the online advertising market, but growth from here is hard. Noteworthy stats: EPS $6.18, missing the consensus expectation of roughly $7.14 due to heavy costs.

"Shield the team from the business." The assumption underneath this one is that attention is finite and context switching is expensive. That assumption is intact. What changed is the cost of starving the team of context. Engineers

You still need handholding, you can’t just give a few junior devs Claude Opus 5 and expect them to recreate Instagram in a few weeks. Frontend and backend basics sure, but security, scale, etc. need prior knowledge.

I very much agree with this. Even the top tier models today, without the unit tests, without integration tests, and domain experts reviewing the code would flounder for 50% of the work they do. Sure they can write the unit tests and integra

I've been seeing quite a few companies juicing short term margins and quarter to quarter maxxing even more than before, one such example: https://x.com/MaxAnderson/status/2080229375773941871 https:/&#x2

I don't think this essay by PG is sufficient to teach them log bases or compounding, and is manipulative to assume now that someone knows 2 million doubling 9 times is a billion, they should be accepting of how one can earn a billion d

Why did a PM create the merge request? It seems like internal testing brought up issues, why was it merged regardless? Is velocity a metric you were aiming for when merging this?
