But yeah, at Amazon I encountered people who passed their tech screen but spent days trying to figure out basic bash / zsh config problems.
However, their little snafu with SureScripts and Remy Health just got them banned from accessing healthcare history - however there are pending FBI and FTC investigations regarding their mis-management of healthcare data. Worst case, the digital pharmacy Amazon just bought will be barred from sending or receiving digital prescriptions and their HIPAA accreditation will be voided for three years (with a fine).
Seems like a great way to waste a couple hundred million dollars.
Studying algorithms reminds me of my most hated classes in college, mostly because my professor had no interest in teaching and was really only there for his research...
However, I still have no clue how to keep my interview-foo top notch while not freaking out about trying to get a job as well. I still can't believe friends of mine can line up 5-7 interviews in the course of a week and then get offers from 60% of them on their first try.
Juan Benet and the team at Protocol labs is the definition of top talent, it's too bad their work had to be stymied by an industry that basically cannibalized itself at the hands of idiot entrepreneurs (I'm looking at YOU Jeremy Gardner of Augur...)
Living in a big city quickly became something I didn't see value in after my social life made this kind of shift. I also stopped drinking and stopping seeing much value in "signaling" wealth / success to others. "going out" with people I work with is simply unprofessional and weird (not because I don't drink) and frankly I'm confused why my generation actively tries to facilitate these kinds of overlapping "friendships".
I completely understand when friends of mine tell me they're just too tired or don't have the energy to hang out. I do find it offensive when their reason is "my girlfriend / wife said I have to do this" etc.
This kind of content is what gets people to give up and blame others for their problems...
IMO, more of the issues with these advanced networking protocols is latency - something that is usually more addressable via protocol dev than just hardware. Would be very interesting to see nVidia try to acquire Xilinx and supercharge their "Aurora" low overhead transfer protocol...

For instance, I have worked in circumstances where women use similar rhetoric created in these groups to foster a toxic culture that affects everyone negatively. Again, I cannot stress enough, toxic culture affects everyone.
If we don't start developing new approaches that are less reminiscent of methods used to remedy elementary school playground scuffles, we'll just keep seeing more articles / threads titled "Why Networking is only hard for <women / insert some group here>".
Furthermore, an un-intended side-effect of these kinds of gendered / tribalist approaches is that they empower companies / organizations to use them for profit. For example, the number of coding bootcamps that target and exploit women under the guise of "fighting for equality" is disgusting and nauseating.
