In my company there are several types of Principal Engineers.
I would say they usually have 3 role dimensions and each principal has a different percentage of each: 1) Architecture 2) Orchestration 3) Direct Problem solving
Some are 10/0/90, others are 70/30/0, others are almost like Project Managers, something like 10/90/0.
My personal preferred for them style is something like 40/10/50, but usual expectations are more like 40/50/10, which very few are.

This isn't true, I've used it since 2011 and for more than 30 reservations and even compare using meta-aggregators like HotelsCombined and whenever Booking has the room and it's same price or cheaper than others. It may happen that they don't have a room while other websites do.

This is no longer true anymore as EU regulations recently forbid that.

I believe these don't come from the actual company itself, rather from other people abusing their affiliate program (same thing happens with Amazon, for instance, so I guess you can't trust them either).

You'd be surprised. Keep in mind it's a Dutch company, Dutch are very direct and explicit in communication.

There are no things flashing or animated elements on Booking.com's website. Maybe you're confusing with some other website?
