"If it bleeds it leads". -famous newsroom adage. This is true for all news and media, always. Humans are drawn toward stories that arouse fear and negativity.

It largely depends on the market you're in and timing. In SF Bay, things are extremely skewed toward renting right now because so many people are sitting on houses benefiting from ZIRP and locked-in prop taxes. It's probably 50-

Smart watches for kids are great compared to alternatives. My kids have Apple Watches and aren't asking me for phones/tablets (and the related evils like IG, TT, etc). Love to see this from Google (and Apple).

Sorry for the staff who’ve lost their jobs. I did a phone screen with one of their recruiters a couple years back. They told me they couldn’t afford my (slightly above market rate) salary, but went on and on about how the company enjoyed

Dataloader ( https://github.com/graphql/dataloader ) eliminates many n+1 issues. Basically, entity requests are queued up during evaluation of the query and then you can batch them up for fulfillment. It’s a great addi

+1 to all of these, especially #1. A lot of companies will have a career doc that lists expectations for each role. Take a look at the manager version and make sure it is actually something you want to do and then start doing some of those

Yeah a lot of places are doing this. My old company calls it "ad hoc" office attendance.

One thing I've always appreciated about Amazon is its willingness to experiment with everything. Offering reduced hours for some would hit so much resistance at most large corps and never get off the ground.

My definition is "Finds and creates the most valuable work for other engineers to do." I really started to see the value once I moved from Principal to Manager. All of a sudden I was busy with boring manager stuff and needed an I

Nomad is the BetaMax of container orchestration. Better quality than K8s in a lot of ways (supposedly), but there's no ecosystem around it so it's a moot point. Want a continuous delivery system that plugs into Nomad a la ArgoCD

I went down the Bloom Filter rabbit hole for a project a while back and then wondered if I could actually fit the entire set space in memory. The set was IDs up to 2^32, so basically a giant bit array. I believe the IPV4 universe of this

As a customer, I see a lot of value from Apollo's SAAS, which helps in "productionizing" graphQL. GraphQL has more sophisticated instrumentation and access control needs than simpler APIs like REST/RPC and there are few

Every site that needs a CDN probably already has one, because it's a quick win. For every site that doesn't need one (small user base, small asset size, etc) it's likely not worth the added complexity.

I agree it could do better explaining what Jewelbots are, but I wouldn't assume there's a dedicated "marketing team" for this product yet.

"They’re wired behind the neck but they’re every bit a competitor to Apple’s AirPods" Umm, no. The killer feature of AirPods is the form factor and not having an annoying cable connecting the buds. As other posters have noted, A

How ridiculously good is Amazon at getting free press? They have already likely decided on where to put the new HQ (1), and will get featured in these overwhelmingly positive articles for months to come. I'm also reminded of that 60

The sensationalism and missing facts/context of this story is truly precious. I'd love to hear the specs on Ms Lile's Manteca house. I'm guessing it's significantly bigger than the median house size in SF or neigh

Sales plummet 22% in SF, yet there's a bidding war on every property? This implies that demand still outpaces supply so I don't see how you could predict a crash, yet. In reality, prices only dropped 1.8% y/y. And that was
