All of this seems like deliberate destruction of America from the inside out by an ayn-rand worshipping, billionaire afrikaaner cabal (David Sacks, Elon Musk, roelof botha etc). Thoughtless and mindless cuts

Utter incompetence from senior leadership at Netflix. They had so much time to prepare for this.

To be honest, it's really hard to understand what Fleak does. For a minute, I thought it's a low-code way of deploying microservices/API endpoints. Maybe one end to end use case would help

I propose line managers be on-call 3-4 days a week so they continue to get that high and actually be useful :-)

I mean it's not like they're claiming to be Gartner..who by the way, gasp, do paid marketing for "fair" rankings.

It's likely you're sharing it across households/relatives. Not sure I'd go to such lengths for something that costs as much as a Chipotle burrito tbh

Disagree, total content spend the last 4 years has been ~18bn/year compared to ~500m/yr on all employee R&D. That's shows there's a content quality problem not a content underinvestment.

Describing engineers as "fat and happy" is really derogatory. Their spend on tech employees is a tiny fraction of total content spend. Also, an even tinier fraction of what they spend on services like AWS. If they want to cut cost

Is this the right way to expose that hypocrisy though? If his goal was to truly bring society together and eradicate hate, I'm sure someone as smart as Adams could expose it in a more amicable and less polarizing way.

How quickly the tide turns in our industry..from massages at your desk to sitting on each other's laps. Hey they could perhaps still continue the massage to each other though.

Microsoft HQ has an awesome library. Every big tech should have such a space for some quiet reading

How and where did you learn your designing skills? Would love to learn.

Not to digress but substack bas gotten quite annoying on mobile. Have to scroll through so much irrelevant BS to just get to the article, what the hell.

that's the definition of a strawman.

Having met him before, his clarity of thought just comes across in this paper as well. Some people are just wired with that talent that makes me so jealous. Reed is one of those people with high EQ and IQ (with the ability of handle his inn

After seeing great folks laid off from FANG, i would also question if you should care so much about these things. IMO, us SWEs tend to care so much about writing idiomatic code for corporate overlords when in reality the effects of mildly s

Netflix has been in business for 25years now and competing with Amazon prime for close to ~12 years.. Of course on a long enough timeline survival zero yada yada..

Indeed, meant to say he should acquire this if he's at all serious about the autonomous/robo taxi thing becoming a reality but we all know it's hot-air for the foreseeable future. But kind of the premise based on which these

Lyft seems like a great candidate for Tesla to acquire and eventually replace with their autonomous fleet. But Elon is busy winning the culture wars atm.

Very true. Though less “prestigious”, the most fun I ever had was actually working as an SDET in the beginning of my career at Microsoft in Azure. I would spend hours dreaming up corner cases on how to break dev code in a distributed system

Very well said. To the OP: if you really are a good programmer, then mastering LC is just a matter of time and effort and really, the problems aren't that hard. You're also hired at most companies to solve problems; not just be a

So the next breed of terrorists will likely be those who’ll take over the flight avionics while on the plane? Laptops to be banned soon
