Re:Ask HN: Go net/http vs. Django. What do I pick?
on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @11:25AM (#17918818)
The reason I pick Django for others is because I don't pay for the server costs. If servers are free, I would use Django myself..
Ask HN: Go net/http vs. Django. What do I pick?
Hi HN,I am fairly versatile with both Django and Go, and built web applications using both for other people, but I am permanently crippled in the decision to pick one for my own project.Django is so easy to build something and deploy, but I am not happy with its performance on a single box, and also all the crap it comes along with.I love writing Go code and its performance, but I don't like...
Re:Ask HN: How can I be happy with my pay?

It's not a bother if the amount is that small. I currently make ~180k including stocks. Then I hear AirBnB guy that gets ~230k including stocks, or an Uber employee getting ~280k including stocks.
This annoys me beyond reason. I can't keep job hopping around!

There's always a bigger fish. So likely the moment I move I am unhappy again.
But I see your point.

What is your tech stack? Did you build your messaging layer?
Is it written in React Native / Native?
You need to provide some details to generate interest.
Ask HN: How can I be happy with my pay?
Hey HN,I work in one of the big 4 tech companies, and I make reasonable money. However, I have this problem that whenever I hear about another company that pays more for the same role, or another person who get paid more, my day is usually ruined. I get unhappy and feel like a failure.I understand this is not a healthy way, and this is not the correct way to think about life, but I am not able...

I think loneliness gets worse when we see "perfect friendships" on TV that last for years, like in Harry Potter or Scrubs. It makes us feel that we are missing something very important to human feelings - complete or near complete trust on another human being.

Yet, with such a terrible signalling tool for engineers billion dollar companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Uber with complex technical challenges were able to manage. /s

I am a SWE at Google, and yes, most Googlers are pretty good at solving whiteboard problems. It's not like we are born with those solutions in our heads, but we enjoy solving those questions especially with other people. It's a lot of fun to "explore" answers to these questions, and that's what I think interviews are all about.
I know HN hates whiteboard problems, but just like anything, you get good with it if you're having fun solving them.

Don't impose your morals on a community you don't belong to. That's called colonialism btw.

TBH Amazon Indian org is known (from the Seattle folks I spoke to) for being sub-par filled with employees from service companies, so no surprises there.

Same here. Looks like AMZN these days is way easier to get into compared to Google and Microsoft. I couldn't even clear the first rounds at others, but got an offer from Amazon.

Thanks, this made things clear. I was seriously considering joining until the responses in this thread. Its better to wait for another offer for few more months rather than suffering for the next 2-3 years.

Was there any change from the time New York Times article was published? And does the pay + stock compensate for the bad work culture (if there is?)
Ask HN: Best programming language for rapid development?
I know the typical answer is "Whatever you know", but assuming a person has no prior programming background, which language would you suggest? PG seems to suggest Lisp (Clojure)? Javascript? Go? Python?

Very true. Working with Javascript these days feels like jumping from one hoop to another with rarely getting any work done.

>On some level, I suspect that Deep Learning being so trendy tweaked a little bit of contrarian in me, and I still have a little bit of a reflexive bias against “throw everything at the NN and let it sort it out!”
I am the same kind of person. But when John Carmack approaches this with scepticism and concludes that it is indeed not over-hyped, I guess its worth learning after all!
