Nokia the phones are completely distinct from Nokia the telecoms infrastructure provider. HMD licenses the Nokia name from the telecoms equipment manufacturer.
3 big deals happened at Nokia. They sold the devices business to MS. They acquired the Siemens half of Nokia Siemens Networks. They acquired Alcatel Lucent (French Alcatel and American descendant of Bell Lucent) and merged it with what was NSN. They sell every component of the modern networking stack from 5g antennas to undersea cables.
Typescript exists so you can press ‘.’ and find out what the npm library you just imported can do.
Types are more important/useful for library code than business/presentation logic. Typescript lets you can hire devs who can’t read documentation or understand type systems write javascript to stitch together enough imports to make something work.
The money is real at some companies. We’re less than 100 people with more than 200m in yearly revenue. Market positioning is worth more than engineering excellence, but paying top salaries to reduce the execution risk is worth it.
I would expect the leetcoding and system design interviews across the industry to get much tougher and juniors to get squeezed out before top salaries drop.
Software has very high leverage in the right markets. It’s comparable to pro euro football where the teams that already have eyeballs will pay huge sums for top players in order to keep the eyeballs. Software salaries will only become more bimodal as VC money tightens.
