Yes, but you expect much better from a seasoned engineer.

One man’s extremely horrible mistake and look how the whole industry has been suffering for decades - countless articles debating the existence or absence of comments, new formats, new parsers, new ways of adding comments, post-processing, etc. What a pity!

If Martin Kleppmann is the author I know this stuff will be worth watching out for.

I mean if it doesn't fit the team's or the project's stage, don't do them daily. Simple! I just solved it for you. Not sure why we need tons of articles on scrum to state the obvious :-). Are the engineering teams so dumb that they're following scrum to the letter? Come on!

Slightly off topic: Learnt a new word today 'vulgarization' which seems to have a completely different meaning from the obvious. Thanks.

Hahahaha, what a joke Google has become! Another half baked name change. Looks like no one really cares anymore at Google.

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing. It's always good to go back to the fundamentals. There's another resource that is also quite good: https://jaykmody.com/blog/gpt-from-scratch/

> These days, the roles I consider are in leadership so if we lack vision and a clear understanding of our value I’m usually empowered to fix that. If you’re interviewing for a more IC role, your hiring manager and teammates being unable to communicate expectations and success criteria is obviously a bigger concern.

So, the author doesn't seem to consider IC role a leadership role. I see, ok.

A whole article about getting a job in tech and no mention of the abominable leetcode. Surprise! From junior to principal Leetcode is here to stay. Good luck solving 2 problems in 35 mins.

Meta is less leetcode oriented? I'm shocked to read this. Meta is the poster child for leetcode style interviews. Meta requires you to solve 2 leetcode style questions in 35 mins (out of 45 mins - first 5 mins for initial pleasantries, last 5 mins for asking questions). For each question, you're required to (based on the signals they look for) ask clarifying questions, present a solution to the interviewer, get buy-in, code, verify with test cases - all this in 17.5 mins/question. Go figure! :-)

Even though the title has the word "translation" in it my mind ran to Apache Kafka :-).

Glad that people are realizing the ChatGPT/AI hype that is driving all companies nuts by creating unnecessary peer pressure to integrate some kind of GenAI in their products even if it doesn’t make sense.

Why are Meta quarterly results so special that they always enjoy the front page of HN?
eclectic29

Thanks for sharing. This is so disheartening. The other day I was debating with my friends how a doctors life is so cool that they don’t have to go though grueling coding interviews every single time they want to change jobs, don’t have to prove themselves every single quarter, don’t have to be answerable to anyone or write performance reviews or be subjected to arbitrary rubrics. Boy, I was so wrong. Every procession has its hazards. This has been a learning for me. Although I do feel that the PCP doctors in US seem to have a simpler life. They leave office at 5 and don’t take calls in the night. Happy to be corrected though.

Did you create a throwaway account specifically to write a snarky comment here? Looks like this practice is becoming more common.

Automatic resource management thanks to RAII. To me this is the most important thing.
