ymmv I guess, I could "afford" much more rent than I pay (I suspect many staff+ big tech employees are in similar situations, especially if you're in a relationship with another SWE...) and when we first rented the apartment

all the time? not on technical issues, unless it's a TLM or the IC is entry level and it's pretty basic stuff they need help with, but absolutely on navigating organization, communicating, prioritization, and so on...

I do think that there's a meaningful difference between writing code that was bad (which I definitely did and do) and writing code where I didn't know what each line did . early on when I was doing iOS development I learned that

This is kind of a weird example to begin with on a forum mostly populated by software engineers, because I'd find it very weird if a manager ever objected to someone using their personal phone at a SWE or similar office job, but I&#x27

the thing I find most frustrating about the music use-case is that if you ask it to play an album, then close out Siri after the confirmation bing noise, but before it finishes reading back to you the artist and album name it's about t

no, it's very useful for setting timers and for setting garbled reminders for a soon enough time that I'll remember what I actually meant rather than being confused by whatever it spewed out instead!

This is good context to add to the article, because he's basically at retirement age anyways . Depends a little on whether 1980s means "1980" or "1989" but with that resume I think he can afford retirement even if

I like that JSON parsing libraries (Serde etc.) allow you to validate nullability constraints at parse-time. Protobuf's deliberate lack of support for required fields means that either you kick that down to every callsite, or you need

by dhussoe 10mo ago
yes, but any sane JSON parsing library (Rust Serde, kotlinx-serialization, Swift, etc.) will raise an error when you have the wrong type or are missing a required field. and any JSON parsing callsite is very likely also an IO callsite so yo

What do you mean by "deferred" here? I'm a fairly high level IC at a big tech company (high TC), but it's only "deferred" in the sense of more of the TC being in RSUs (over 80%) with less frequent vesting vs. b
