My monthly bus passes for both February and March did not work in Dallas today. The driver was aware of the issue and just waved me in.
A friend had a similar experience. They got "benched" with no impactful work and promises of impactful project work once headcount is available. In reality, no headcount was available on their team for over 18 months, and there were no prospects in the foreseeable future. Bad performance review feedback with raise not keeping pace with inflation with some random excuse. They got the message and changed jobs, taking their decade of Amazon-internal knowledge with them.
What was the Casey Muratori incident?
It's not a bug! It's a clearly documented feature! /s
Given that "Daemon" and "Freedom™" have sort of a negative portrayal of self-driving vehicles and AR/VR, it would probably not be in big tech's best interests to adapt them. But one can hope!
Brings back memories! dynamicdrive.com and another site that I can't quite remember the URL of (it was something like pruitt.com) provided amazing examples of what can be done with JavaScript and DHTML. Inspired me to add these sorts of whimsical effects on my personal website hosted on memebot.com in the early 2000s. Sadly, the interesting sites of that era are mostly gone now.
My personal experience was almost the exact opposite (granted, this was in 2020, and things might have changed since then). Both companies asked leetcode-style questions and behavioral questions.
The Amazon interviewers were engaged, excited when talking about their work, and seemed like they were rooting for me to succeed.
Google interviewers were condescending and looked like they were unhappy to be part of the interview process and were just going through the motions because they were forced to. I had a lot of self-doubt after being treated like crap by the Google interview and decided to never do that to myself again.
What I have observed in software development companies is that there is no limit where one can say, "My work is done". When one task is complete, there is another one ready to pick up. So, the only way to stop working for a day is to track your hours and say, "I have worked for 8 hours today and I will pause the work until tomorrow".
What field and role are you working in, where you can roll in whenever you want and leave whenever you want and yet complete your work in fewer than the total assigned work hours per day?
Clickbait headline to advertise for an email client, with some content at the end to justify the headline.
Also:
"invite-only $30/month email client"
"Take a quick peak"
No thanks.
Now that this puzzle is solved, can you explain how it was intended to be solved?
It was solved using reverse image search, which was present when this puzzle was created but not very reliable for uncommon images. So it's likely that you did not intend for it to be solved via a reverse image search.
So what was the intended way to arrive at the solution?
I find treating developers like children and making them compete with each other for points very insulting.
The implication is that developers are incapable of working on what they are supposed to do by default and introducing a "game" like this is what motivates them to do better.
Do any other job families have to go through similar "break down" and detailed probing of their deliverables?
This can be summarized as, "I can tell you what it is, but I cannot understand it for you".
In such cases I've invariably found that the failure is on part of the person who is telling the thing - they are simply failing to communicate effectively.
They are not emphasizing the important points, they are not working backwards from the result that they want to achieve and merely listing steps to get to the result, they don't empathize with the audience so they cannot customize their narrative in a way that resonates with the audience.
This is exactly why in your 16 or more years of education with dozens of teachers, you can only name a handful that actually were good teachers.
Got to admit - that's a simple yet clever solution.
The audio at the top of the page, marked "Voiced by Amazon Polly" has so much dissonance - they've inserted fake sounds to seem as if the speaker is drawing breath, which sounds pretty realistic, but the actual enunciation of words is so robotic and fake-sounding :)
The list of reasons why modals are bad are all very subjective. A little more explanation would have helped make the case that modals are bad.
Not to mention that what should be a list is displayed as a table (－‸ლ)
Amazon Underground pays the app developer for the duration of usage of the app, and so needs to track how long you are using the app for. Perhaps it needs data tracking enabled to identify the duration of usage?
