You shouldn't always optimize for the long term. You should optimize for the reality of the environment that you're in. In large, public companies, that usually means looking ahead normally 1-2 quarters unless there are exceptio

Unless you're hiring for rare roles that require niche skills, it's unlikely that you'll get people that are in overlapping networks. If you do, you might be encountering the problem where Company A has a bunch of people tha

Imagine you have a coin-flipping tournament with a large number of people - perhaps even billions. 2 people face off in rounds and the winner advances. By the end someone will have won all their rounds. Is this person skilled or lucky?

I don't understand why tech companies are so reluctant to go back to in-person interviews. This used to be the norm before COVID and it would solve most of these issues. It's also ironic that the authors are from Microsoft/

He's basically said as much directly. I think it was in his book that he would like to get back to research at some point in the future. If he had things his way, AI would still not be public and would be used for advancing science o

R&D is hit or miss. And a lot will miss. It's really no different from the VC model where 90% of their startups will fail but the 10% that succeed will make up for the rest. Pointing out a few examples that didn't go anywher

I track my time even though I don't have clients. I find it helps me say "ok this next block is for this task" and it helps me keep focus.

If you're being treated poorly and it's causing you stress, leave. It's going to take time to earn trust from peers and your manager to start getting more meatier work. If you're early career, I think 2 years is a good

You can only tell which part of the S-Curve you're on in retrospect. It's not something you can tell while you're experiencing it. Both scenarios of AI maxing out or continuing to improve are both likely.

I think this is it. I'm a general software engineer and would like to switch to being in this field but something like this is just way over my head. It sounds like a great innovation but I'm lacking the domain knowledge to full

It's pretty easy to lose 5 pounds. You need a total caloric deficit of about 17500 kcal over a certain period of time. There are plenty of caloric counting apps that are a few dollars/per month. Why would this be worth $100? Yo

That was a time when the latest arms technology could be obtained both by normal citizens and the government. Do you think that today an armed population could repel a determined federal government?

Have you used AI lately? Yes, this was the case a year ago but I've been using Claude daily for the past month and the quality is on par with what a senior engineer would be producing - often times better as it's more thorough an

I get that many people are tired of too many AI posts and there's an influx of negative comments but I think this is genuinely amazing. Think about watching Star Trek in the 60s and seeing people talk to computers and them understandi

To maintain the muscle you have, you only need about 1/3rd of your normal workouts. It can be retained with 1-2 workouts per week. I imagine the same would be for something you've learned. If you've already put in the effo

Even so, the article says it grew 8% YOY in the US. The best is to hope that this is an unstoppable trend so that even politicians won't be able to reverse it.

I couldn't agree more. At this stage of my career, if I were to go back to an early stage startup, I would only consider a startup where the founder(s) had successful experience as at least a frontline manager. That provides a high c

I think we'll need to evolve code review. Rather than simple rules like every review must have 1 or 2 approvals, we should be moving towards dynamic rules for when a human needs to be in the loop. For example, an agent can output a r
