What's your favourite ramen restaurants? My wife is Japanese and she hasn't found anything that rivals Japan yet.

I love the Manager Tools feedback model. It's succinct and the importance is on addressing behavioural change over time rather than one particular incident.

Or perhaps the most reckless drivers are going to be the ones still driving normally because they're not going to listen to the government.

I was very positive on Roam early on. I actually signed up for the Believer plan. I've since switched to Obsidian though. I was finding that Roam became very slow and laggy once documents started to get pretty long. It started to h

I don't think that's true in Canada either. I think it's only true if you're self-employed.

Is building a priority queue a common task that senior engineers would be required to do if they got the job?

A mediocre person may also be threatened by someone they see as being more talented. They will fight against having that person on their team with them because it makes them look worse.

When I moved to SF and saw signs for Zuckerberg SF General Hospital, I thought to myself "Surely, that must be just a coincidence and it's not named after Mark Zuckerberg." I was wrong.

100% agree. The only free society is a society of 1.

TTP is capitalism at its finest. Let's make the normal process so terrible so that we can charge extra for people to be treated normally. And then you have services like Clear which is basically legalizing corruption. Instead of slip

You're now able to upload your documents online and you'll be able to print out an Express Entry document that lets you skip the line. I went to Daly City last week and I was in and out in about 20 minutes.

Yeah that's interesting. I thought nearly all of Mozilla's revenue came from Google to default to their search engine. I wonder if COVID is just an excuse to do this now. Edit: Another comment seems to have some details https:&

There's no reason why you can't be an employee but also be in control of your own hours. It's not much different from a part-time job that I had while going to school. I'd provide my manager a list of times that I was

I swear this happened to me with Grubhub. I had a problem with my order and used their chat. After I wrote my problem the agent replied with a standard answer and then immediately: "Is there anything else I can help you with?" A

I listened to "The Rabbit Hole" podcast series this past weekend produced by the NY Times. They actually interviewed YouTube's CEO about this and they have realized that and have made changes to move away from that. https:&

The documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad" might be interesting to you. It's pretty cheaply made but it's about this very topic and offers some hope of how they got him to change.

Yeah I hear you. I've struggled with the exact same problem. The stress doesn't help and often times I've figured out the answer just 5 or 10 minutes after the interview was done. I know I got rejected from Amazon and then

Keep going. You only need to pass once. :) I'm kind of in the same boat. I failed all my interviews as well and I have about the same amount of experience as you. I agree that getting into these companies is easier as a junior engin
