Milk them for all they’ve got. This is about your quality of life, keep your insurance in the green and do what you think is best for your health.

How on earth did she pass their interview screen?

But yeah, at Amazon I encountered people who passed their tech screen but spent days trying to figure out basic bash / zsh config problems.

Tech Leads course is low quality and basically a cash grab. Very similar to DailyCodingChallenge (see the 26% one star rating of their book on Amazon), who also cashed out and actually advertise through Tech Lead.

After realizing that even as a moderately competent junior-mid-level developer my fitness for interview problems drops drastically as soon as I'm employed.

Studying algorithms reminds me of my most hated classes in college, mostly because my professor had no interest in teaching and was really only there for his research...

However, I still have no clue how to keep my interview-foo top notch while not freaking out about trying to get a job as well. I still can't believe friends of mine can line up 5-7 interviews in the course of a week and then get offers from 60% of them on their first try.

Blockchain tech and ethereum is a failed project, IPFS is an unfortunate casualty of collateral damage.

Juan Benet and the team at Protocol labs is the definition of top talent, it's too bad their work had to be stymied by an industry that basically cannibalized itself at the hands of idiot entrepreneurs (I'm looking at YOU Jeremy Gardner of Augur...)

Even at 25, I'm starting to find a lot of "adult" social "events" incredibly contrived and stuffy. Relationships after college and in business are different and I'm immensely okay with that. I still have great friends that I've met through common activities but we're usually incredibly focused on said activity and that's why we get together, not just gathering for the sake of gathering.

Living in a big city quickly became something I didn't see value in after my social life made this kind of shift. I also stopped drinking and stopping seeing much value in "signaling" wealth / success to others. "going out" with people I work with is simply unprofessional and weird (not because I don't drink) and frankly I'm confused why my generation actively tries to facilitate these kinds of overlapping "friendships".

I completely understand when friends of mine tell me they're just too tired or don't have the energy to hang out. I do find it offensive when their reason is "my girlfriend / wife said I have to do this" etc.

I get where he's coming from - but his content feels like failure porn in vlog form / some weird form of an online self-deprecating sob story.

This kind of content is what gets people to give up and blame others for their problems...

I can tell you from experience, the internal Amazon stack is not cool or inventive.

Yeah - I think this potential next step for nVidia has both good and bad intentions for the world of HPC. However, it'll be interesting to see how they compete with the existing "NetFPGA" open source project. They've essentially been building purpose-built offerings analogous to Intel's recently announced "Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000".

IMO, more of the issues with these advanced networking protocols is latency - something that is usually more addressable via protocol dev than just hardware. Would be very interesting to see nVidia try to acquire Xilinx and supercharge their "Aurora" low overhead transfer protocol...

Immense loss for PcPartPicker as well, their entire revenue stream was built on Amazon affiliate links.

Massachusetts is definitely still working on this... haha
