> 2.3 SDE could do that, but i don't get 6. a 24/7 operation needs 2FTE and 1 PTE per shift, and there are three shifts.
having the team constantly on call is a recipe for having them quit. sure, you could run this with the bare minimum number of engineers, but your turnover would be so high and given how high hiring costs tend to be, this is a net negative
> so maybe all that "busywork" takes 6 full times?
ktlo in a constantly changing company is not easy. software / host patching to maintain compliance is necessary busywork that requires a bit of babysitting. not to mention keeping up with required migrations to new stuff due to internal deprecations.
File access for apps is gated behind “special” folder access (like Documents/Downloads/etc, and “full disk access” which is anywhere beyond the common user directories)
A "tell" in this case is domain-specific terminology to denote a behavior that provides information that the person may have been trying to keep secret. I believe the term comes from poker:
non competes are not enforceable in california and a few other US states iirc, although if there were to ever be an IP lawsuit, it would be a war of attrition (with odds highly stacked against the engineer)

How so? I don't see any examples of top talent being fired (barring the scuffles at Twitter, but that isn't FAANG). Most people on my LinkedIn feed being let go are new grads or middle management who ostensibly didn't perform to company expectations of perfromance.
Just because you don’t understand the knob doesn’t mean it’s voodoo or proprietary. LMs of every kind can incorporate temperature into their next-token inference and it’s a common term when describing models like these:
Asking to ask[1]. This appears a lot in the communities I’m in (mainly university student groups) and it’s probably the most annoying thing to see in my opinion.
