For me, most courses move too slow and it is really hard to find anything specific from watched videos. With books & written tutorials, I can scan whole page in 1-2 seconds and skip if needed. And if need to retrieve information from pr

As a Pakistani-American, I can confirm, this is exactly how many people from my culture also work, though not as extreme as 9-9. We may take long lunches, go for multiple coffee breaks, walks, etc. May even watch some Bollywood movies while

I graduated in early 2000s, and I heard same things from CS students/graduates and self-taught developers. They all said the golden age of computer science was 60s, 70s, 80s, or early 90s when people got into computers for love of it n

Excellent point. Perhaps focus teaching skills that help them no matter what they do in their life like social skills etc.

Thank you! Until this job search, I usually had two interviews, one technical screen and one behavior interview. And this was for senior roles. And usually, I almost always got offers. Most of the time, I was deciding between two jobs. I th

Glad that I am not alone. Just got another rejection email. No LeetCode, problems seemed realistic, I solved them all. Really have no idea what they were looking for. This was my 4th application where I was rejected after final round. A lot

Once someone explained tolerance vs philosophy of tolerance that made sense to me. Tolerance is just a word that means that you are okay with things that you find annoying/repulsive. E.g. you were annoyed but tolerated flight delays. P

I agree, it seems it is really all about luck once you are good. But if one wants to become lucky, first they need to get really good.

You are not alone, I think many of us have made similar mistakes. I have also recently made a bad career mistake, I was being promoted to management but without salary increase so I turned it down. Also I lacked confidence in my management

Wouldn't it would be great if pricing was simpler. I work for a Cloud provider too, and I keep pushing for simpler pricing models. My team/service does actually uses simpler per unit billing with no tiers or region. Discounts&#x2F

Yeah if I am just playing or learning around new tech, then please delete everything instead of billing me thousands of dollars. If my business runs of AWS, then rate limit or even reclaim some servers if storage is in S3. The nightmare sce

Same experience. It is so hard to have a conversation about any of the security requirements with our security team because they have no idea what they are asking. They only know to press some buttons and then send some reports.

Yes, they should be. It is not their concern what I do on social media. It is unfortunate that there is so much power imbalance that most employees are afraid to criticize their employers in public.

My current Fortune 500 tech company's contract explicitly said that if I moonlight, I cannot work for their competitors. And if I get a second job or contract work, I should discuss it with my manager or HR. It does't say anywhere

I am so confused with comments in this threads. Since when did tech employees became so submissive and scared? As far as I know, having 2 jobs is not illegal, not unethical. Many, sadly, low income families have to work two or more jobs. We

In addition to credit freeze, contact IRS and let them know that your social security number has been stolen. They will give you a pin that you will need to use when you file your taxes. It happened to me, someone filed taxes with my name.

Most people cannot. Management is a full-time job. The worst managers/leaders I ever had were those who still coded. These managers are like those rich people who go to their construction projects and hammer a few nails to connect with
