Let’s say I believe you. Do you have any proof?

Advertising is a scam. It’s all fake anyways. The house of cards is going to come crashing down any day now.

Levels.fyi helped me immensely in negotiating my Stripe offer, which I ultimately accepted.

I would have been massively lowballed otherwise. I can’t help but think it had something to do with the fact that I was female, which to be fair, I probably wouldn’t have negotiated at all originally if I hadn’t passed upon compensation numbers while browsing. Have any others faced similar experiences?

Anyone have thoughts on Webull here? Effectively identical to Robinhood.

This is why I love the Bay Area, specifically South Bay. A suburban hell and technology goldmine all wrapped up into a neat little package.

I used something similar to this as well as Khan Academy to learn CS, when I transitioned into software engineering, after being laid off at my previous position in a different industry.

It’s possible, but it takes work. I also benefited by contacting my peers from college on LinkedIn and getting referrals for interviews. Even though I didn’t major in STEM originally, I still ended up connecting/befriending many while in school. I would encourage you to try to utilize resources like that as much as you can.

Focus on finding niche keywords/areas when advertising. The best ROI is going to come from there.

Like you said, the average person isn’t going to care enough to understand how a service like this might benefit them.

The mistake or cognitive error people make is that the potential of an average human is actually extraordinarily high. Being “average” is in itself more than enough to achieve close to anything.

Compare the human brain to anything currently in existence, and it should begin to dawn on you that we basically carry around a low energy power efficient supercomputer inside our heads.

Have there been any statements / postmortems released from SolarWinds itself yet?

Really, an SEC filing is their only response to this? I guess it goes to show how much SolarWinds actually cares about it’s engineering.

Every other party involved has released some kind of security postmortem. Get your act together, and address your customers directly.

What part of my comment is difficult to believe?

That mostly makes sense. Would you recommend going towards this route for other developers?

This is exactly what I’m talking about. The original spirit/purpose of Bitcoin has been completely taken over by financial engineering and speculation. And it’s such a shame.

People over-leveraging themselves to buy Bitcoin, which anyone with real experience has already moved on from for better designed crypto by the way, is a clear sign that right now we are at peak hype in this space.

This is me speaking as someone who read the white paper on Bitcoin in 2010, and then mined on my GPU for all of 2011-2012 to help build out the network. I have since moved on, as have other practitioners.

The only people that remain on Bitcoin are retail speculators, governments with seized assets, and financial institutions. It’s not a healthy makeup, and extraordinarily toxic to the greater crypto community as a whole in my honest opinion.

This is where the bubble pops folks. You watched it here live.

The CDC site provides information in other languages as well if you’d like to share with family/friends in your community!

Is your avoidance of frameworks/libraries based on principle or performance?

We often look nostalgically back to the past, but it’s a fair argument that for a lot of people things really weren’t all that great.

As a woman, as well as being in STEM, I see how tenuous my position still is. On my team I’m still the only female in an engineering role. I can’t imagine what life would have been like if I had been born 100 years ago.

I want to start contributing to open source projects like these, but the process seems somewhat intimidating.

Are there any good guides or maybe an introductory tutorial somewhere on how to get involved?
