Also, in real life, he's a genuine nice guy. I had lunch with him and Armon at a conference when they worked at Kiip, before they founded Hashicorp. Mitchell (to me) was the proper hacker. He just loved everything about computing. This particular conference was about distributed systems and he was just geeking out on everything.
I walked away thinking that no matter what they did, they'd probably be successful. I was extremely happy to find Ghostty and have been using it ever since.
I was so excited to get my S60 PHEV. Mechanically it is an amazing machine, great handling, great power, I rarely have to put gas in it. BUT. It is a nightmare with the technology.
Like most new cars, everything is tied into the center display/computer. It will crash while driving, which will remove all sound from your car, and I don't mean just the radio/spotify/whatever. You can be in mid-turn with your turn signal on and then just absolute quiet. It is so off-putting. Your blinker stops, you can't really tell your engine is on, and every screen just goes black. Thankfully I don't have a pure electric, so I my car still physically moves, but I really can't believe I haven't gotten in an accident when my screen crashes.
Thankfully I leased this vehicle, and I'm almost done with it, I honestly can't wait to turn it in.
> I suspect that what's happening internally (at Microsoft) is that someone's leveraging your work towards their next promotion packet.
It just so happens that the Microsoft engineer who originally changed the license in GitHub went from Senior to Principal engineer at Microsoft in the past two months (according to LinkedIn). So you probably aren't far off.
I've been a fan of blue jeans cables for 15+ years, I'm so glad they are the subject of this post. Blue Jeans just makes high quality stuff for solid prices and no BS.
This entirely. When I first read the title, I thought, lets see what they say about gRPC. gRPC is so much nicer working across applications compared to simple REST servers/clients.
There are residents for sure in that corridor, but the residents are on Edwards AFB, and are fairly used to sonic booms. When I was on Edwards, there was still the last operating SR-71, and that boomed any time it flew.
The DNC has some serious soul-searching to do. If they didn't figure out that people wanted Bernie over Hilary, I doubt they will learn that the US voter didn't like getting lied to about Biden's mental fitness and then just inserting someone we never voted on.
My $0.02, just one opinion yada yada.. Charisma was a part of it sure, but ultimately people can look past that. Bush Sr. had zero charisma.
The bigger part, amongst other things, Harris is part of the current administration, people are not happy about how things are going, or how much their groceries cost. People are not happy to get censored or called nazi's for having different opinions. When asked on a left-leaning show "The View" with people all on her side, what she would change about the last 4 years, she answered, "there is not a thing that comes to mind".
Charisma didn't kill her, not being able to ask layup questions killed her. The American people are not as dumb as the Harris voters are now screaming about on Reddit/TikTok/X, the American people want to know what their president is going to do to change their lives. Trump is a sociopath, again amongst other things, but he is very very clear about where he stands on things and what he's planning on doing.
Yes, this is the super obvious fix that doesn't involve the US Government changing any rules/laws. Google has offices all over the world, they really don't even need to be remote.
> Was it like this in the pre-Linkedin-recruiter-spam and pre-Glassdoor-interview-question days?
I will say this, we had way less information back then. People still job-hopped, but there was no levels.fyi tempting you with grand fortunes. For me at least, it was friends or friends of friends and word of mouth. "Hey, there's this new company VMWare, it's only 20 or so people, but they are doing this cool stuff, you should look into it."
Typically if you were outside of the bay area, job hopping wasn't as frequent because most cities didn't have a LOT of companies to chose from. I was in San Diego at the turn of 2000 and there was military contractors, semiconductors, and telecom. If you made to the top and worked for Qualcomm, you usually stayed there. At the time, in that particular region, no one paid a whole lot more and everyone got their own office at QC. They started stock-splitting every quarter and no one was going anywhere, no matter how much they were over worked.
I would say the temptation for me personally to job hop now is less than before because there is just so much more information about companies, and at the end of the day, most companies who pay well suck pretty bad, and amazing companies don't pay all that well. :)
