Maybe we should agree that all jobs can't be compared apples to apples. I have 3 good friends that fly for major airlines. I'm pretty familiar with the jobs.
-Those tests are no joke, but saying they are more intense than a 4 year CS degree is ridiculous. Also the major airlines you can compare to FAANG, and many people study for 6+ months to pass those interviews
- Airlines are union jobs. If you get them you aren't getting fired unless you try to do something really stupid.
- There isn't any wondering if you are doing a good job or not , and you don't take any work home.
- Regulations change or you can switch planes, but the career is leaps and bounds more static then SWE.
Net net is that they are very different jobs. SWE is a great gig overall but I take issues with people saying how much harder or easier it is than other jobs. "It depends" is the answer.
The Twitter example is the exact nearsighted reason a lot of comments like the one we're all talking about come up.
A lot of smart people spent years trying to make a resilient system and then everyone claims they aren't needed when it doesn't immediately crumble.
There are also many examples of huge gaps in content moderation, customer reps, and other "useless" functions that has lead to it's decay other than just it's unhinged CEO.
Twitter swallowed a poison pill, and we're just seeing some of the onset of sickness.
Looking at all the packages available, I'm sure that's why. You make it a much simpler thing to just develop that runtime for a known environment that you control vs a browser/local that requires a lot more engineering effort to make sure it works correctly for everyone.
There are a huge number of people who would disagree with Python being a "crap" language, and the irony is that the only language supported in the browser is js. You're missing a big reason Python is popular, and it is another reason this is a big deal. The number of people that have an opportunity to make web apps opens a great deal.
Also the idea is you CAN now access those libraries like numpy, even though Python speed in general is usually overstated.
How exactly could you evaluate FizzBuzz over the phone? Its designed as a weed out question early on, if they can't do that (and yes some have failed) then it makes a decision pretty easy
I think you have that flipped. 20% of code covers 80%. As you try to get to 100% coverage of all possible scenarios the complexity gets in some cases exponentially harder as all the low hanging fruit is picked
Ha. Pretty weak attach. The dude literally sleeps at work at times, and his companies have produced things that have never been done before. Stuff that you can't really do as a weekend warrior, like rockets and the fastest/longest range EVs that people wait in line to buy
What coastal cities are 2100 miles away? Maybe for few that are retired, but 210 isn't the best for trips that far, and that's assuming the chargers are exactly at where you need them to be
I disagree. While there may be some that are holding off, they will know the specs in the next couple of months. At that time those people will be queued up and either buy the S,X or the 3, and totals sales wont be impacted at all
I mean prices are going to be a little inflated over 15 years. Also you can get an incredible vehicle for $15 grand that is a few years old. Those safety requirements are something people (especially with families) are thankful for when they are put to use.
