This has saved Uber a lot of money on compute (I'm one of the devs). If your compute fleet is large and has memory to spare (stateless), performing dynamic GOGC tuning to tradeoff higher memory utilization for fewer GC events will save quite a lot of compute.
It’s also very useful when reading a book, especially historical ones where auditory medium works well. iPad with stage manager running Kindle and ChatGPT is my usual setup.
Findings.
> 4,950 meters under the surface, the pressure is approximately 7,227 pounds per square inch, which is well over three tons pressing on the watch. For context, that’s a Dodge Ram 1500 or a young adult hippopotamus parked on every inch of your F91W. As Americans, we’ll do anything to avoid the metric system, but using scientific terminology, we’re talking about a shitload of pressure.
Appreciate the joke.

IMO, it's a little unfortunate from a productivity perspective that you have a high performing Engineer also running daily/weekly syncs, doing stakeholder management, and doing upwards management for resourcing. From a personal learning perspective, it's great though. You, as Tech Lead, learn and hone a broader set of skills and not only the Architect or Senior Engineer skillset.

I'd assume SearchGPT's results might be better given the partnerships with publishers and creators vs Perplexity searching the internet. More importantly, Perplexity already did the work of finding Product-Market Fit for OpenAI.
Side note: The difference at Staff Eng is slightly more wide. Eg. IBM Band 9 pays TC ~$250K while Meta E6 is ~$640K.
Side note 2: From what I understand, Big Tech often brings in Staff Eng from smaller companies to a Senior Eng role. Reverse is also true, Sr Eng at Big Tech are often able to join Staff roles at smaller companies.

Color theme and polish feel really good.
I'm curious about the graphs, especially the productive time.
