Meta publishes some interesting data along these lines in their quarterly reports.

I think the most telling is the breakdown of Average Revenue Per User per region for Facebook specifically [1]. The average user brought in about $11 per quarter while the average US/CA user brought in about $57 per quarter during 2023.

I used to agree with this until I thought about the order in which to do it. The issue was that I'd open BitWarden manually to create credentials, rather than doing it during the autofill popup.

Here's how I do it on iOS:

1. Select the password field and open BitWarden through the button above the keyboard.

2. The password list will be empty. Press the + to create new credentials.

3. Enter a username, generate a password and press save.

4. The list will now have a single entry. Press it to autofill.

I was offered an Solution Architect internship at AWS after my 3rd year at uni which involed some online assessments and two interviews.

The OAs consisted of a technical quizzes and a weird "work simulator" where you had to apply the leadership principles. The interviews had a similar setup where one was focused on technical questions/experiences while the other was with a manager where I had to relate my experiences to the leadership principles.

My interview prep really only took an hour or two. They sent over some tips regarding the STAR method and leadership principles, etc. I have no idea what this person was doing for two weeks.

It did hurt to turn them down in the end as the pay + housing stipend was really good, and I would have liked to have a FAANG on the resume. However, I had already accepted an offer from a smaller company and preferred a SDE role in a potentially less stressful work environment.

In-ear monitor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-ear_monitor), basically a fancy word for earbuds.
But Musk replied to the Tweet so I'm not quite sure what's real.
