Not exactly true. Has happened with so many companies recently(Google, Amazon, Coinbase etc..,). And it hits most employees hard since they might be someone who just got laid off. This is even harder with people on visas who might be runnin

What is the cool off period if I already interviewed and got rejected?

This is a wrong comparison. Most of the layoffs were in departments that H1B visa holders are not hired traditionally. Orgs like marketing and recruiting were disproportionally affected compared to engineering which hires the majority of H1

Most leetcode hard or reasonably complex dynamic programming problems have 10 lines of code or less. It is coming up with the logic and solving for edge cases. Maybe its your confirmation bias that the problem is easy considering you have s

I can tell you what your options are being on a visa for free. You dont need a 30 min consultation with an immigration attorney. Better benefit is instead of severance, keep employees on visa on payroll through that severance period.

Local history is a game changer. And live templates. The one I use is using a template to automatically put in console log with the context of where(line num and function name) when I type a shortcut like cl

Big thing I miss working on VS code and IntelliJ interchangeably. Local history of your changes. Huge differentiator while working on a lot of changes.

I worked on a transactional email infrastructure where we used to send 50k-100k emails at a time and a few million a day. We used inky and juice to customize email generation and caching partial templates using inky worked out well at scale

Something I experienced with a relatively young kid(2 years) and staying home and watching her grow up was really nice. But, I rethink or feel regret when she is sick crying all night and my head is pounding. I realized this feeling quickly

If you are an engineer, you'll just keep shipping and learn nothing and get paid peanuts while being told you're having the best time of your life working 16 hour days with no life. This is something I dont advise most people. If

Most of the article is clickbait. You can get EB2 sponsored from a run of the mill startup in SF Bay Area. Only thing worked for you is you were not born in India or China. Everything else you did was probably harder than actually getting a

In most markets, yes. But, you're actually competing for talent in markets like Bay Area or Seattle. So, if you're worthy enough, you'll have employers fighting for you.

You just need one perm and 140 approval. And most companies are ready to start processing your green card in 3-6 months after you start at the latest. It is not as convenient as getting up tomorrow and walking away. But, it is definitely no

How is this true? H1B employees can freely move jobs, with a small delay in moving visas.

Pipes are like one of the best experiences you’ll have whatever you were doing. I was debugging a remote server logging millions of Logs a day and was aggregating a little on the server. Then all it required was wget, jq, sed and awk. And I

This is swooping so low for a journalist. The guy donated 800k. Why do you always have to look at it as a percentage of this wealth? Not just look at the absolute number and appreciate it? You dont have anything better to report on?

What about headless chrome and some cron jobs to run tasks for you. It'd be similar to selenium. But, on a headless browser. There are also some scraping services that let you get data on a set interval with a phantomjs scraper. I have

Giving feedback is bad for the companies initially as a lot of biases are exposed when the feedback is reviewed. As in some engineer thinks something a candidate doesnt know makes him dumb. Just because the engineer has worked a lot on that

One similar experience i had when I was starting out was when I created a PR and my colleague instead of suggesting changes, made the changes himself, approved and merged my PR. I told him directly that it’d be nice if he’d have suggested t

I’m glad Huginn is on the front page. It’s an awesome project being used for a long time now. I was testing Huginn to see how skimpy I can be and still run Huginn on a free tier. Was able to run it on open shift free tier a while ago when t

Missoula or Albuquerque are nice places to live in. But, the supply of talent is very limited and not so diverse. In the Bay Area, you have so much talent concentrated that its easy to get people iff you pay the right amount of money(which
