That being said it's incredibly hard to follow this advice in environments which encourage a polyglot stack and 'the best tool for the job' mindset. The moment you have more than one language in your stack it becomes easier to build services than to maintain libraries in each language. You can of course write native C libraries with bindings to different languages but that's a bit weird.
It's also requires more discipline to maintain abstractions and boundaries properly with libraries in large code bases but that's another story.
Hey, author here and I completely agree. One of the things that I meant to express in the article but couldn't was when as someone approaches a problem with an understanding of the context (business, people etc) they will be more likely to understand what's important, what's not and when good is good enough.
As a side note, I shared this article with Jessica as a draft and she shared it with her followers before I could add a few more things. Still my most successful post yet and comments such as these make me understand there is a lot of material for new blog posts.
I really enjoyed reading this article. One key takeaway for me was how its in the interest of companies like Substack to initially have a lot of high profile creators defect from their motherships (like a lot of journalists have recently done) and then eventually decrease reliance on the superstars so that Substack's value doesnt immediately decrease once these superstars leave.
BOOKING.COM ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam/ or our Tel Aviv office, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.
General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews
I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.
The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this. If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).
