I regret not being able to go to any of the Fountain Valley Fry's midnight releases that were hosted by the Blizzard dev teams. I wasn't even in high school yet when those were still being held. In hindsight, I think my mom would

The first dinner I ever ate after arriving in SF was at their original HQ's cafe/restaurant, thanks to some friends who worked there. It was so good! I regret not having gone as a guest more often.

Those are implementation details. It's difficult to accomplish these things in any taxation system, including our current one.

Granular progressive taxation is the best answer to your question. Trying to define buckets with arbitrary thresholds is futile. It greatly benefits the top outliers, since the top bucket will have a huge disparity between its strictly defi

I don't have links to back this up, but I believe the following two statements are true in US markets, based on my anecdotal industry experiences: - The majority of mobile apps that only launch on one native platform (but are eventuall

Twitch is an immeasurably worse place to work at now than it was before the pandemic. The creep of corp Amazon culture accelerated. Twitch was acquired in 2014, but it was still Twitch, and not Amazon, when it came to culture. That's n

One Medical would write adderall scripts for people during the pandemic. I think they stopped, but idk I went back to using a regular psychiatrist. Pretty wild to think that nurse practicioners were prescribing schedule IIs. source: I got a

I barely qualified for a previous state credit within $1000 of the cutoff, right before more than doubling my income during the pandemic industry craziness. I think cutoffs that don't scale or prorate somehow are so ridiculous. There&#

There's also no advertising relationships that would dissuade anyone from bashing. This is not to say that Tesla doesn't deserve the bashing (it does).

I wish articles like this would reference the antitrust lawsuit over collusion to artificially keep software engineer salaries low in the 2000s. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/24/apple-go

>And... before you say, perhaps your salary ranges were bad, they weren't. Our salary offerings are very aggressive to the developer's benefit. In my opinion, salary is a sign of respect from you employer. Let's see your s

I'm not sure what you mean. In a corporate job ladder, anyone who isn't strictly a manager and writes at least SOME code is classified as an IC. That's not to say that there are no managers who also write code, though.

It says that each individual Meta employee had to personally appeal to have her specific Instagram account unblocked. Seems like it would be trivial for someone at Meta to verify. If she's not lying, she just completely threw those Met

I'm going to use an extreme & contrived example here. How would you feel about a company that pays $200 an hour, but 90% of each new batch of hires are fired by that company within a week? And the 10% who don't get fired have

I was introduced to all of these techniques at some point throughout my childhood and pre-mid-20s life. None of them really helped me. Prescription amphetamines did, though. It kind of sucks feeling dependent on them to do uninteresting tas
