Yeah, no, sorry. Been burned on that one. Ex couldn’t control herself and spent every last penny that came in. I have more money at the end of the day even with alimony and child support.

There’s an interesting circularity to real estate values in downtown Seattle since Amazon owns so many offices there. GREF wields an outsize power inside Amazon so methinks they’re advocating for hard RTO it to stop cratering the value of a

I loved that place, I spent an entire day there from open til close when I was contemplating changing jobs and it was really helpful to put my work as a developer into historical perspective. Running Unix commands on a PDP-11 and watching t

Yes- this is real. There used to be “subclasses” to the Principal Engineer role and you could pick if you wanted to be a Depth Principal or a Breadth Principal, and that no longer exists now.

I got a lawyer to look over mine when I was leaving AWS, not for a direct competitor of the team I was on but for a company that does work in an area Amazon is involved in. Washington state. His advice was thus: technically I am prohibited
