I’ve been finding that very rigorous/technical people who are willing to adapt their workflows are very effective, whereas more “management” types are sometimes effectively pushing work off onto their code reviewers.
This is just a matter of priorities - I use LLMs to write code every day and I have never put a single line of code up for review that I didn’t read and understand.
I tried this with Claude - it has to be explicitly instructed to not make an external tool call, and it can get the right answer if asked to show its work long-form.
This is similar to how wild boar was hunted in Europe - there were special spears made with extra crossbars to reduce the chance of a boar reaching the spear holder after being impaled.
I’m surprised that this doesn’t get talked about more - I’ve worked with plenty of women, minorities, and immigrants at large tech companies, but I can’t recall a single person with a southern accent.
I think that you should mention that this is specific to 90 degree v8 engines - other engine designs can have similar crankshaft / firing order trade offs but would not be described as “flat plane” or “cross plane”.
That’s not their best hardware deal, but you also have to understand that you are paying for rack space, electricity, bandwidth, on-site staff for repairs, etc. They are actually absurdly inexpensive compared to competitors.
The piano is not the canonical model of a scale - it’s just a bit more visual than some other instruments. I went to music school and primarily play guitar and violin but can sort of play some keys. I could definitely figure out pretty much any scale on a piano but couldn’t just sit down and immediately play most of them.
There’s still basically one with a couple storage options - they have shipped with different fans though. My (fairly recent) unit has very reasonable fan noise.
Remote: Prefer to work in-office, but would consider remote opportunities.
Willing to relocate: Possibly, for the right opportunity.
Technologies: Linux, Python, Rust, C, Kubernetes
I have been working in SRE/infrastructure roles for the past 13 years at employers including Google, Facebook, and several smaller companies.
I am interested in both SRE-type positions and roles developing systems software. I'd especially like to work with rust or on open source software.
My job search started a few days ago so I don't have an updated resume yet, but my work history can be found on my LinkedIn:

I had very mixed experiences as a customer in ~2009 - it was definitely possible to get through to someone very competent, but it was pretty difficult. We were trying to use their "cloud" VPS offerings (I believe it was openstack-based, and I liked the idea of supporting something more open than AWS), which were extremely buggy (for example, we had to default-retry every api operation multiple times in scripts because pretty much every type of call failed 40% of the time.) I generally had better success getting information about outages by reaching out employees I knew on freenode than I did through official support channels.
Why do you think the unit economics of Carvana have to be worse than a traditional dealer? Maybe they have to do more shipping of vehicles around, but they are less reliant on storefronts/sales staff. It seems likely to me that they overspent on marketing/gimmicks/badly timed top-of-market inventory, but that doesn’t mean that the business model fundamentally can’t work.
