Ugh I can’t find the original source but this concept comes from a 2013 study from Google? Finding old stuff on the internet is hard. https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-link-between-job-interview-...
I also wish they’d knock it off with purposefully misleading marketing. They have a decent product but for whatever reason their CEO feels like compulsively lying about it.
And that’s on top of the in-content sponsorships and merchandise most creators are selling.
Nah, happy to steal from Google, the creators are fine.
Costs: $40k equivalent [1]
Income: $37k equivalent [2]
Combine that with an expectation for women to stop working once they marry and surprise, people rationally find that it doesn’t make sense.

Quick on the trigger is exactly the point of the dig example. The author is reminding you that you have control over what you see and you should use it. Most people have a set of topics they can’t constructively engage in debate over. That’s fine. I’d rather they conserve their energy and keep posting on topics where they can.

Upvote means I agree. Downvote means I disagree. You might have other opinions about what they should represent but the nature of voting systems is that they trend towards this. Like how I wish people would rate things 3/5 by default rather than 5/5. Sadly only IMDB ended up like this.
This post didn’t say “I’ve found that candidates with public work are more likely to pass the interview.” Just that he noticed that he’s biased and that could be a good way to get the interview. It’s unfair but if you want the job you could use this to your advantage.
1) Google and you are defining spam differently.
2) Spam is adversarial. They have the ability to block spam domains from last week, but it’s an ongoing investment as the adversaries adapt.
That said I do think Google depends too much on human raters who are not customers. It’s caused a lot of drift between the customer’s expectation of quality and Google’s.
* Marketing websites need to be mobile first. Your first impression will be on a phone even if the product isn’t usable there. The demo should be a one click on an example domain and you might even fake the formatting.
* Put the case study logos on the home page for social proof
* A much simpler and more useful solution to API testing is to scrape or record latency data from prod. With that data I don’t have to worry about authentication or making sure the automated tests are hitting a realistic account setup. Those are the hardest parts of doing synthetic performance testing and you expect the customer to do those for you.
I understand the tradeoff. That doesn’t mean it’s “fast”. It’s slow but the other alternatives are slower.
You’re measuring the wrong thing. The user actions are slow and take several seconds to complete usually. No one gives a shit how big the repo is. They care how long their operation takes.
