Prob the best use of time if you’re trying to optimize for a career as a developer would be to go study CS for 2 years at a top school, then drop out and do a bootcamp for 3 months. Best of both worlds!

This is exactly what China has done with its tech industry - ban the foreign competition and allow the local companies to flourish. Not a bad strategy if you have a sufficiently large market.

Cool! I also use https://github.com/gilbarbara/react-inlinesvg for my react based project to accomplish a similar result

I bought 2 brand new pairs of glasses for $40 in China in 2014, including eye exam. They've lasted me for the last 4 years.

We gotta stop saying 'FAANG' when MSFT is the arguably the top tech company around these days.

Random side note, but when is the 'FAANG' acronym going to die? MSFT is killing it, prob the top tech company around these days. Needs to be included in that list.

Has anyone that played BG also played Dragon Age Trilogy? Is it a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate? I loved BG1/BG2 in middleschool/highschool.

I predict there will be another blog post in about 18 months from discord about "Why we moved away from React Native"

“The results were striking: individuals who completed these tasks while their phones were in another room performed the best, followed by those who left their phones in their pockets. In last place were those whose phones were on their desks. We saw similar results when participants’ phones were turned off: people performed worst when their phones were nearby, and best when they were away in a separate room. Thus, merely having their smartphones out on the desk led to a small but statistically significant impairment of individuals’ cognitive capacity — on par with effects of lacking sleep.”

From the wiki: "Unfortunately, as krogan society became more technologically advanced, so did their weaponry. The end result is that they destroyed their homeworld in a nuclear war ... The krogan were reduced to primitive warring clans struggling to survive a nuclear winter of their own creation, a state that continued until they were discovered by the salarians two thousand years later."

In the game series "Mass Effect" there is a race called the Krogans which destroy themselves in nuclear war at about 1950s era technology levels, leaving their world completely destroyed and in nuclear winter.

When you come across them in the game it's been many generations since that event and they still havent recovered and only get into space because other aliens come by and "lift them up".

Would not be surprised if this is the fate of humanity as well

Usually I enjoy articles from firstround, but this article is kind of clickbaity. I see what they're getting at here but if their claim that chefs and soldiers make the best product managers is true... then most PMs be would be former chefs and soldiers.

I would add "The Three Body Problem" and following two books in its trilogy to the list. Sci-fi series by Liu Cixin. Won the Hugo award and is recommended by Obama and Zuck. I felt so small after reading that one :)

A homeless woman spit on me in SOMA a few months ago for no apparent reason. Just walked up to me squawking like a bird and spit on me. Probably was on something.

My immediate reaction was to jump out of my chair and aggressively move towards her - I'm actually not sure what I would've done next because it all happened so quickly. Probably shoved her? That seems like a legitimate response to someone walking up and spitting on you. Thankfully I was with a few friends and they restrained me before I could do anything and the woman ran away unscathed.

The entire experience left me so confused. I am legitimately concerned that if I had shoved her I would've been considered the 'bad guy' here be the absurd SF hyper liberals and could've ended up in jail been fired if my employer found out.

What are you supposed to do in this situation? There needs to be some sort of disincentive to this behavior but it seems like the way things are in SF it's actually socially acceptable behavior.

At the end of the day, I just want to work with the best people for the job.

Evidence has shown that without a commitment to diversity, some of the best people can be overlooked or passed over during the interview process, and some evidence shows that diverse teams in fact outperform non-diverse teams.

Twitter engineer here.

Our engineering culture is actually pretty great - diversity is something we strive for and have made great improvements at, but definitely not at the expense of hiring talented people.
