In my experience, the problems given to juniors are often open ended “improve this” or “fix this” type projects, but smaller scope or lower priority things that more senior devs would just never get to. I will say though, needing to sociali

It's a similar shape but with quite different conclusions - low drive + low aptitude: never hire Hammerstein thinks some use can be made of these folks - low drive + high aptitude: hire for targeted use cases where you need expertise H

In the Bay Area I’m also easily able to order alcohol on all the big delivery services, but they all seem pretty consistent about scanning your ID for age verification before they drop it off.

I don’t understand. Why would the suppliers change the recipe to _add_ sesame? Is it not just that they accepted the “may contain sesame” label instead of removing (or proving the lack of) sesame?

But "relatively affordable in the Bay Area" is still relatively very expensive nationally no? Maybe the gap is just that the people surveyed overestimated their likelihood of working in a HCOL place (or the sample and/or popu

It's not clear to me why you think "I refuse to do the thing you're asking me to do" is _less_ reasonable than saying "I will only do the thing you're asking me if you pay me $large_amount" To me, the latt

Getting RSUs doesn’t ever “suck”, but getting 70%+ less (denominated in $usd) money in your quarterly vesting than before is unpleasant - even if you knew it was coming at some point and don’t critically depend on that income.

I agree that we could collectively be more mindful about why we're doing things and what we're getting out of them, but this seems like a strange example to emphasize the point. Do many people claim that they're intrinsically

I think it's possible to recognize that 3rd party recruiters can be good or bad at their job while also coming to the conclusion that the bad outweighs the good to a degree that it's not worth the time to figure it out. It's

I’m going to w2 a bit over 300k this year as a senior software engineer for a quite large SaaS company in the Bay Area, and the general impression is that we’re a “tier-2” company in terms of comp behind FAANG and really top tech companies.

I'd argue it's a bit dramatic to say I was "forced from an area" but I did move from the east coast to the Bay Area largely because pay disparity was much larger than the difference in cost of living. I saw that as an op
