What if the restaurant followed you with a drone and took pictures of everything you ate in public for a month?

This is ok to you? You’re a creep. Maybe you’re the guy in this article

Why do people walk down the street if they don’t want me to follow them with a drone?

Maybe you’re just smarter than me or you’re applying for different jobs. I don’t really care about your interview process. I just need a few months of practice so I can perform LC hards in 20 minutes to achieve my goals

1000x revenue not 1000x developer productivity is possible sometimes. There are lots of jobs where developers also decide on the roadmap and requirements along with the execution instead of just being ticket monkey and a good idea executed well could easily be worth 1000x changing button colours and adding pagination to an API

Have you interviewed since 2015?

What percentage of people live in a rental? All rentals were at some point bought by investors. Unless they’re a much smaller volume of total sales (held longer?) then it seems ok even though the number sounds alarming

The part where I have to rehearse solving ridiculous problems for a few weeks in my free time so I can perform them to the interviewer and then never use the skills again. It’s typically 2 medium/hard problems solved optimally in 20 minutes each with no errors if I want to beat the competition.

That would make my own world worse

Maybe I’ll start taking pictures of the owners kids playing in the yard so I can establish a better relationship with the business and get better service.

Everyone hates calling and apps give customers a list of restaurants with menus to browse. Restaurants also do all of their in-restaurant management with software (why not paper? ask them idk) which I assume has some integration with the app.

I can imagine some type of open protocol that lets them self-host an order service though, or at least an open solution that’s hosted by many providers and many separate apps. That would be nice for everyone

Can someone explain how this works financially for the acquihired? I know they aren’t joining like a regular employee with a high TC. Does Google offer them a giant multi-million (billion?) dollar signing bonus? Why would they tank the value of the company they own just to be another employee at Google?

He didn’t answer because he didn’t even read your comment. Likely a bot

So they just follow instructions from a book? Why can’t an LLM do that? Advice is so situational that I just don’t really believe a therapist would ever understand most of their clients problems. If you’re having a hard time understanding my perspective, imagine a white American therapist giving an Indian American immigrant advice on how to deal with family issues. They will probably never deeply understand the situation.

It’s not reading. Consuming is a better way to put it. Just like how the radio is not a newspaper and twitch streams aren’t gaming.

You get a very different experience with text compared to audio and it changes how the book is written. You can tell the author was trying to make an audio book. Like how TV TV and Netflix TV are very different because they have to conform to their format. The best written books are often ones where I find myself slowing down, rereading, or doing research in the middle and none of this is possible if my hands are occupied.

It’s not really good. It feels like the author was just trying to recreate the Martian and it was only written to be turned into a movie. It’s a book for people who don’t usually read. Everyone just talks about the audio book

Salaried positions are explicitly not selling time. Whether I work 2 or 12 hours the compensation is the same. The only reason these contracts make sense is the unstated agreement that my employer won’t abuse the contractual power they theoretically have. And what’s the alternative? Signing bad contracts and leaving when things go to shit is probably 10x better for my career than pretending that I have agency in contract negotiations

In my experience I have no leverage and the contract is too vague to mean anything. The contract I signed says my job conditions and work hours are subject to change at any time. I understand I took a risk, but things were fine for years before they wanted me to start being available 24/7 or work late into the night. In environments like this the only sane thing to do is reluctantly accept the terms of the contract and push as many boundaries as I can.

Just because the employer pays me and I signed a contract doesn’t mean I can’t complain or push back. Do you think I should also dance like a Walmart employee in the morning if my employer tells me to? The contract I signed says yes but in reality it doesn’t matter

There aren’t formal part time positions but there’s a lot of jobs that only occupy half your full time and don’t ask questions when you disappear for a few hours

Not true or else leetcode would be gone. They made a lot of money off the old paradigm and somebody will certainly take advantage of whatever comes next

How often do people put full effort into even one job? I do enough to move my career forward and to keep myself employed. Everything else is just working for free.

Sufficient is irrelevant when the interviews are 10x harder than the actual job. Employment is a competition. How else can you explain the credentials arms race for low skilled labour?

> The bar is so low in corporate America you could trip on it.

I talk to incompetent people all day every day but I don’t know anyone competent who could get the opportunity to work here without at least a few weeks of studying and a lot of luck. Thousands of applicants for every position and you still think meritocracy matters? The only winners in this market are people with no self respect and the well connected

Inequality is increasing and we’re anxious about being on the wrong side. It’s just standard (and justified) economic anxiety. We’re correct to see that the standard path through life is increasingly precarious and there’s no safety net. On the other hand, successful people are more successful than ever.

Your students who can’t graduate will have to reevaluate their entire lives. If I didn’t become a software engineer I would have to move across the continent and choose a new career. I already had to leave all my friends and family behind and I’m one of the success stories. Sometimes there is a solution but it’s not worth the trade offs and that’s typically when pessimistic thinking is helpful.

If you live in a low cost of living area then I have no idea though. Those people really are just whining.

This is why it’s so hard to make local friends as an adult in a new city. Good inspiration for me to make something similar to keep in touch with real people!

Hormone optimization is just the newest way of calling someone the f slur since it’s not cool anymore.. f slur, soy, cuck, incel, now I also have to worry about how much sun I get if I want to avoid bullying. Give me a break

so most people expect to lose more from AI than they will gain. No amount of AI is going to make up for downward mobility and lost income

Interesting perspective

I don’t want to be involved with the Middle East at all bro this doesn’t help.

> No Jews no news

You got that right!

The death of the middle class everything. I have no idea how median wage statistics are possible. There is not a single neighborhood in my city where median income in that neighborhood can afford rent or a mortgage in that neighborhood. It’s all non-wage sources of wealth and no traditional middle class lifestyle is possible
