For post-product-market-fit hires or scale-up engineering teams, the interview process could skip LeetCode and instead test how well candidates can identify and debug issues introduced by LLMs. Less binary trees, more LLM bug-hunting
Don’t forget to visit the gift shop too.
They don’t have an online store so it’s the only place to get CERN ‘gears’.
You can easily overspend there for gifts your friends and family will appreciate (if they know and like about CERN and its missions).
DoorDash has an article on migrating from python to kotlin for their services [0]. This might be of interest to you. Do note this migration was done at a certain stage of this company journey.
I find the best arrangement is spending a month or at least two weeks in Norway during the summer. I prefer to stay around Stryn. You can do some what I consider good drive outings in every direction.
Because the day is longer it’s perfect for going into rabbit holes, hacking something together to explore new tech and just plan out what’s next. The scenery and the very friendly folks helps too.
Only tough thing right now is it’s hard to find things to do for kids. I have not found a summer camp for non-Norwegian speaking kids. This definitely limits how much hacking is done.
From all the comments in this thread it seems like everyone is in agreement Denmark has less bureaucracy.
Is it also a better place to set up a company? Do more companies get acquired from Denmark than Germany?
I think there are people that simply cannot afford to go lower than 400k if you’re looking in the Bay Area. Or it’d take a relatively big hit in lifestyle.
Mortgages are really expensive, kids in school or day care, payment to the new Rivian, etc. Just offering perspective of the other side for the forum.
This song is also used in the intro to the film Hackers. To me, it set the tone for the film.
In middle school, I’d run and watch the film in the morning and learn to program in the afternoon to late at night.
It was such a magical song and allowed me discover similar music from the era.
Can you expand on what you mean by this? I researched online for this reference and consulted with some colleagues while discussing this topic but none of them could figure out what you mean by when the balloon goes up.
From my observation it’s all about comfort. Having reports, especially ones with their own, who share your own background makes communication more frank. In other words, like a sibling, they all share the same state, it makes your job easier. It’s very hard to leave the comfort zone.
I’ve seen leadership chain made up entirely white guys in their 50s because the guy at the top has a type.
For me, mine are diverse but all are kids of immigrants or recent immigrants from Europe, Africa, Asia and West Indies. When everyone are qualified we tend to go with what we’re comfortable with. It’s unfortunate.
There’s a movie directed by Wim Wenders called “Until the End of the World” with tech similar to this. It’s a Pay phones actually, where you’d flip the arm with the screen up attached up to make a call and down to end a call.
The movie is really an alternate universe where tech like this is ubiquitous. There’s something about the late 90s / early 00s vision for tech future I have an increasingly difficult time grasping today.
I’m very interested in moving to Mexico City part time. Can you list some nice neighborhoods and their characteristics? Or point me to somewhere on the web with this information? Thanks in advance!
This looks good and functions very nicely. However, the playhead in the progress bar moves in discreet steps. It'd be better if its movement is smoother. the playhead inside https://beta.music.apple.com unfortunately behaves the same way.
