You definitely don't need a personal website, blog, or even github for most jobs. If you're cold-applying to jobs online, and you don't have a linkedIn it will be seen as a red flag by some hiring managers - easier to lie&#x2

The product page linked at the top of the article boasts about voice encryption as a feature, but that's still very much illegal on ham radio bands in the US, right? Or is it just referring to CTCSS/DCS?

I think "bad people" is relative here though. The incentive structure is entirely misaligned. As mentioned elsewhere in the comments here, agents' best strategy for the highest possible payout is trying to close as many deals

Ok but you could replace the "Sending notifications about new listings in real time" duty by subscribing to zillow/redfin etc with specific filters... for free. It's hard to make the argument that that's worth 6% of

The problem in this particular case is that the sensor may be confidently telling you there's something in the way, but in reality it's just a plastic bag. Hard braking at 70mph on a highway as if you were about to hit a concrete

The issue is that the number displayed on the dash can be toggled between "% battery remaining" or "miles remaining". The "Miles remaining" is actually "EPA rated miles x % battery remaining", and NOT

I always disliked Irish (and languages, in general) in school. However, now that I'm over a decade out of college I find it to be one of the few subjects I wish I'd paid more attention to when I'd had the chance... Sure, it&#

One use case I'm psyched about for this - shared virtual whiteboarding for remote workers. No traditional apps have been able to reproduce the feeling of being in the room with a small group, collaborating on a shared whiteboard, feels

+1 for BetterSnapTool. I've had it for years, one of the first things I install on any new Mac. It's always "just worked" for me, zero issues.

Why not both? They don't have to be mutually exclusive! For example - I'd be in favor of abolishing the current H1-B lottery in favor of taking in the first 85,000* applicants with the highest paying job offers. Maybe have some ca

I was going to say that FANG companies don't make up a very large proportion of H1-B visas and that the majority go to Infosys, Tata, Cognizant and the like... But I just looked it up, and it turns out that trend has been reversed cons

As of May 2023 there are[0] over 300,000 tech job listings open and unfilled across the country. There are an additional 65,000 H1B visas available each year to applicants with bachelor's degrees in STEM, and an additional 20,000 degre

In reality the bar to clear this requirement is quite low. E.g. "We put an ad in the (physical) local newspaper one time for this job, with every single esoteric skill this individual has, listed as hard-requirements..." is typica

I don't think the problem is the subscription model exactly. If I'm paying $15 / mo for netflix, it's very clear that my $15 gets me one month of access, to whatever's available in their library at the time. Similar

The problem is that your accounts with these businesses can accrue innate value over time. If you have spent 4 figures on buying video games on steam, and then want to dispute a fraudulent charge, access to all previously purchased items ca

The author touches on why it matters in the article - either you have to restrict hiring to folks who are already rust experts (much smaller hiring pool, also usually meaning higher comp expectations) - or you have to consider the cost of t

You have to remember though that coding interviews != production code. Taken to the extreme, are you also adding logging, metrics, performance benchmarks, etc? TDD is great if you can get it working in a tight interview time schedule - they

It's hard to give specific advice without a resume, but I did want to comment on the '8 years experience / 4 year degree / mid-20s' combo a little. You may of course be the rare exception here, but broadly here&#x27

Couldn't agree more. Not even just in the skills cloud section, don't put anything on your resume that you're not ready to talk about in an interview. It's baffling the amount of candidates that answer questions about

In Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Sweden, the income distribution ratio[0] of the total income earned by the top 20% of earners vs the bottom 20% of earners is about ~4x. Denmark has a personal income tax rate of 56% [1] Best data I
