I'd love to see a movement where more engineers write tooling in-house to solve technical problems. Not adapting existing and promoted ones.
The same. I think it is technically correct and I initially thought that 502 error is intentional.

It's an interesting topic. From my observation industry is divided. For well-paying companies there is an influx of candidates - these companies can be very picky and calibrate hiring process to get the best of the best. Whatever it means in FANG+ big tech context.

On the other side, there are plenty of small, medium, mediocre, old-school places and these companies have to fight for talent if they don't pay a top dollar.

2 LC session and 3 system design? It looks like e6+ level at Facebook. Lower ones have more LC grind.
Google devs dont use homebrew.
Shooting ourselves in the foot was the number one cause of downtime.

FB to the win. Younger company. PIP culture. Hot products. They will collect nice talent during current recession. Bad for Google.

Could you replace/change your implementation bugs into types bugs?

Unit testing can be valuable. And yes I agree with some of the points from the blog post - it can be a pain too.

When you experience such a situation it means that your tests are too low and you are testing the implementation, while you'd rather know if the system still works as expected.

One of the solutions could be some, when appropriate, using ports-adapters architecture and level up your unit tests.

Lately, I have been searching for open engineering test positions in Microsoft, and I have found none of QA, Tester, SDIT, SEIT etc.

The same goes for duckduckgo
