I just searched in moma with variations of “git5 productivity” and no such study showed up. Neither LoC nor commit count is a good metric to represent a developer’s productivity.

In my personal opinion, using a git/hg like interface makes it lot easier to work on a complicated CL because you can maintain internal local branches and you can easily revert your incremental changes.

If two PHP developer and a community person launches a social network, can we actually call it a Facebook rival? It's lightyears away from feature parity.

I stand corrected. Thanks for explaining.

He actually didn't gross $92k. That's not only unrealized stock options, it also assumes he'd stay in Facebook for next 3 years. He actually grossed 1/4th of that, given he stays in Facebook till end of first year.

I'm surprised to see Google and Facebook so low in that list.

Did you have to get a new car insurance as you entered a new country or is there another way to do it?

Which article was it?

Robinhood reported 19.53 as the opening price. I noticed Google also reported it as 18.

The article is slightly wrong. They opened with $19.53. It's currently hovering around $18.

I think that video was made by a comedian, not actual engineers.

Who's paying 400-500K for normal engineers? Even FAANGs don't pay that much for for Senior Software Engineers.
