To me the noise was 10% of the problem. Who wants to breathe in what lies on the ground? Just lick it instead.

Any reason why Waymo is so much more expensive than alternatives? I went across SF last weekend and Uber/Lyft was around $16. Waymo was $56.

Sounds like something you could do with SQS and Lambda. They just have massive datacenter infra and compute at disposal.

Cars are only useful because America foolishly built and rebuilt around cars, instead of humans. There were even places that functioned perfectly fine with transit and walking, destroyed and replaced with infrastructure for cars. Undoing ou

I feel like any code created from GPT can also be interpreted from GPT. Use a prompt like "Explain like I'm 5". Also DiagramGPT and just generating documentation in general from code. Perhaps at some point you can screenshot

[IT Perspective] In my personal experience, these tools also overreach. Most people I've met in IT (15 years) want to go into Engineering, or at the very least, something MORE technical and code-related. They are hungry and willing, bu

It's really sad, because almost all of these platforms are code-averse. They sell the idea that "code is the hard part". Business folk eat it up. Then you sit there like an idiot dragging blocks around when you could have jus

I was so stoked to build stuff this way; I had the same sentiments about the learning curve, but overall it seemed like an amazing tool and pretty fun. The problem is the people around me thought it was too difficult, and couldn't see

Less technical companies throw money at problems to solve them. Like mine, sadly... Even if it takes a small amount of effort, companies will throw money for zero effort.

When I worked there it was still called Facebook. I’m still not used to calling it Meta haha. My bad.

And just to add that last part. Moving fast was so damn cool. That shared understanding of responsibilities and freedom of making changes. In most cases of course they were added as reviewers to the revert diff review, and in some cases the

100% agree. The culture is a huge factor as well, but in some of the environments that I encountered before and after, that culture was there, but the tools didn’t allow the same cohesion. To your point, other experiences have shown me the

Oh yea, I elaborated more in another comment. But the ease of finding documentation related to code, SEVs, anything wrong. Someone pushing something and breaking something else in my env, then me using the amazing tools like diff to see wha

I’ve got coworkers who went back and forth. Their thoughts were (in 2019) that Facebook had cooler things going on, but less mature. Nicer to use, but less stable in some cases. I personally loved things breaking at times. The monorepo and

Yea I was on the internal side, not outward facing production apps. They have and are building their own versions of ENTIRE companies for internal use. It’s a marvel to see. But the blue app? I can’t speak to that one on the internal side,

Moving to a company using a hodgepodge of constantly rotating SaaS tools has been hell. I’m always thinking to myself “why can’t they just do this?”. I think I’ve been both spoiled and broken permanently. On the other hand, building all the

Oh yea, web comparison for sure, but I also don’t see a difference between slack desktop and web. They’re both electron clients though iirc, the desktop client just wasn’t given much attention because web worked great.

Yea, it could be that FBs internal tooling connected to workchat is what made it so great. I think channels are a nasty way to handle topics of conversation compared to posts on a forum type place. Leaning into searchability and all that wa

Most of the open source Ai things are Meta. React, GraphQL, pytorch, rocksdb, docusaurus, prophet, a whole ton of internal tools that aren’t public knowledge. Full disclosure I haven’t worked there since 2019 though, so not sure since then.

The open-ness of code, visibility, diffs. It was perfection. Something broke in my env suddenly? OH, I just checked recently pushed diffs that affect my realm. Hey there it is, security pushed something weird. I'll just revert the part

No company I've worked at after FB/Meta ships or works even at a non-eng level with the same velocity. I always attributed that to their internal tools, since most of the other companies seem to be using the same crap. Slack is st

This is my guess. Looks better on the record, since people are committing only 48 hours anyways (for whatever reason, should be permanent).

I don't have a lot of concern for what I walk on. It can be raked or swept, watered if needed on concrete if it's a concern. On grass or soil it just creates more favorable soil. I take my shoes off at the door, so I don't se

There's no judgement of people in my comments. It's objectively bad. Air and Water are 100% things we should protect with law BECAUSE "This planet is a shared resource".

Not sure where the personal bit came from. They literally blow particulate off of the ground and into your lungs. We have non-smoking areas, but suspending whatever is on the ground into the air is somehow okay and opposing it is being &quo

Pretty sure Gas or Electric, both blow things you shouldn't be breathing into the air. Remove them altogether.
