I haven’t heard it’s competitive once you’re in the company but it is competitive to get into Netflix. Top Tier in the sense that they have very good technical skills, paired with the right attitude for Netflix’s culture. I haven’t them be

I also don’t know a single engineer whose total comp is below $300k at Netflix. They get paid well and the caliber of talent is top tier.

You’re talking 6 hours of billable time to cover a year’s usage. The time savings alone of creating PoCs/MVPs for clients pays itself off.

I understand the frustration but you also understand that the vast majority of individuals render JS on the page and do not use text only browsers. It’s not worth the time to appeal to such a minority share of internet users.

Very common. However, if you want to stay and it’s just about money or title I would suggest talking to your director of recruiting or engineering manager. In my experience, chatting with them and being honest saying like “I love the compan

That’s fascinating that you guys ended up choosing Slack. I’m surprised because it seems like with the infrastructure already setup, AOL could’ve built an internal enterprise MVP and got a real leg-up on the rest of the competition. Missed

Professional Independent contractors, sure I’ll buy that argument. Never once, in all of the tech companies I’ve worked for, have I seen anyone upgrade a computer. Even recently, my Mac had an issue with parallels that couldn’t get resolved

As an engineering manager, you'll need to put company first, team second and your team members third. I disagree with this a ton. The best managers I've had flipped #1 and #2. When your team is performing, the company profits. Far

As someone who has maintained a Flash, HTML 5 and a Web GL component before, I support them in this. It was absolutely awful maintaining them.

I have to imagine this is part of a larger play for Amazon Fresh. Physical locations around the US acting as mini logistic centers for their Amazon Fresh drivers to pick up orders and/or compile orders. I can't really imagine Amaz

I think that negative cultural conditioning is an interesting point. The same thing can be said towards statistics. However, once your own personal lens is shifted to show practical application it makes the basics easier to understand.

Super interesting. Bookmarking for a potential move to Seattle in 6-12 months.

It's an intentional leak. Part of the "game". If you send a press release, everyone thinks you're lying and boring. If it's "leaked" it's sexy and ends up on TechCrunch as a "Report: Anonymous So

I honestly dont know if I have any music on my computer. I use Spotify for probably ~10 hours/day. (Work, Gym, Commute)

$10/month to no longer need my phone for map my run and Spotify? That's worth $120/yr to me

One of the companies I used HipChat at before they switched to Slack and the only reason they ended up switching was there was a 4 week period where HipChat kept going down so one of the engineers setup a free slack room. It got used often

by brogrammernot 9y ago
That's an interesting use-case. I'm curious if Slack would find open-source work compelling enough to grant a free license for searching messages. I do know for non-profits they offer free standard plan for up to 250 people and 85

Raise money now on much more preferable terms when you don't need the money, store it in a war chest, improve morale/buy-in with "money on the table" for your employees/early investors. It's pure win for Slack

by brogrammernot 9y ago
This is interesting to me. I've used it at the last three companies ranging from 15 people to 1700 people. No issues really. Considering how often HipChat went down prior to Slack, Slack is a welcomed replacement. As for alternatives,

Should've specified. Meant more around the lines that you can build a strong lower body without back squats, and that you can learn proper form (keep chest tight, don't round your back etc) without putting a barbell on your should

by brogrammernot 9y ago
Agreed but you gotta get the form down. I'd say start with air squats, kettle bell squats, then work your way up. Plenty of ways to build up your stamina without putting heavy weight on your shoulders.

That's fair. I've been through 2 "failed" startups, one somewhat success and one that looks promising but you come out the other side of these things alright. They learned a super valuable lesson about market for, and it

They had an inherently flawed model in an industry that has a high barrier to entry and requires significant cash resources. Just take a look at Carvana's most recent earnings, they lost something like 40M in the first quarter on reven

That's quite a hyperbole.

That's a completely fair reason. That happened to me on a lesser scale with American and US Airways (I also lost all of my miles from America West from when I would fly back/forth to visit my father lol thanks airlines). Totally s

I've never had a poor experience on Alaska. They're my preferred carrier when going to SEA. What don't you like about them?

With the right TOS and no contract in place a business can raise prices at any times. Can you provide any examples of real life cases where something like walking through your neighbor'a garden became an established right? I'd be

by brogrammernot 9y ago
Sure. I can agree with that. I've always thought that with any free service I've used that the naming implies it's temporary, such as "Hobby" or "Developer" and that's the extent it goes. When it shut

by brogrammernot 9y ago
I don't think so. Society has gotten this weird notion that with a free service they deserve more than they actually do. It's free until they change it. If you build your e-commerce business on shaky ground (free services) there&#
