Some stores are evening paying store managers $200k per year now (read it in an article about a month ago).

I haven't gotten a raise in probably 10 years. But realistically I make a lot more than most developers where I live (Los Angeles) and there would be no reason for my company to give me a raise when I'm probably the highest paid n

Lol, premium brands and non-premium will often come from the same factory in China. Source to back up - none! But I do work at a clothing company where we do this and markup is much higher for "premium" - 20x.

Thanks for calling that out as I wasn't aware it would look like that. I made some edits to clarify.

Based on your skills I would highly recommend Python and some JavaScript. Python being the main language to focus on because it's great for working with data and general scripting needs (working with files, etc). For data everything fr

Hello Vivek, Personally I like Hacker Rank and consider it a good way to learn about new algorithms but at the same time I do not like the style of interviews that require it and it makes me wish I could leave the industry because it's

I used that one once. It was great! Pricy but if you have an actual interview with a big tech company it's worth it if you can afford it.

Difference with trading though is someone is a great trader at one hedge fund they can jump ship pretty easy without hurdles. In fact they compete to get good traders. For Software Engineering you have to jump through hurdles each time even

Find a different job in a better industry. No other profession tolerates this horrible style of interview.

Well said!! Personally, I like designing and building software and have been doing so for 20+ years but after doing several HakerRank and Leetcode style interviews it makes me wish to do something else. I’ve had FAANG recruiters tell me “st

One problem though (and I've interviewed at FAANG companies and similar process) is now they really expect you to memorize at lot because other developers are doing it as well. On one of my questions I was supposed to quickly recreate

FAANG Software Engineer pay is not that great when compared to a Surgeon (or many other good jobs) for people who have been doing other good jobs for decades. How many Software Engineers do you who drive Ferraris? Probably not many, but for

They might even get some new customers after people who never used it look at their site and offerings. Disclaimer I have puts that expire 4/22 (purchased yesterday) so I hope they go down in the short term. Seems like a total loss now

by __app_dev__ 4y ago
I bought puts yesterday morning. Was up 50% by the end of day but now down to 50% of what I paid. Mine expire 4/22 but I have more calls open at the moment anyways so if I had to choose between this going down or the market up I'l

The outage did not impact the stock, most major tech stocks have taken a large hit in the past week and a half (until today). This even is not even showing on any financial news site. I'm still hoping it does and the stock goes down be

Yeah, I place a Put option order yesterday. By end of day I was up over 50% and now down to 50% of what I original purchased the Put at because it went up 5% today. Oh well, better luck next time.

Question for Atlassian Customers on this site. Does this event make you re-consider using their software? Also, I'm not clear if the site was down for all customers for a few days and now only 400 (0.18%) have an issue or if it was onl

On the topic of 'leet hacking skillz' I personally find it strange that so many Silicon Valley companies only care abut leetcode for the interview process. You can be a security expert and no tech company will care unless you cram

Could have made 500% on PUTS today alone though.

by __app_dev__ 4y ago
Congrats! If you bought PUTS at market open today (or yesterday) you could have made 500% today. I'm excited about this and in the future will be checking stock price first thing when I see these smaller publicly listed tech companies

Use your knowledge of ML/statistics and your quant finance skills to play the market with high risk options. If you do well enough you can make enough to quit your job. Of course once you have enough money don't bet it all on opti

Even if that were the case this will now make it possible to "swat" or target someone by using spyware to send pics to someones phone. Obviously not many people have access to this type of spyware (think NGO Pegasus) but if law en

Actually one big advantage I see is the ability to quickly come up with needed functions and code from Browser DevTools then use the exact same code in a node script. Personally I use this method with Puppeteer for advanced pages such as Si
