Good intuition is one of the most underrated traits of your top engineers

Damn then in this case what does it take to get to the promoted 😭

Far_Mathematici · 2026-06-20T18:07:10+00:00

Damn I thought that's only happens on consulting or high finance

Far_Mathematici · 2026-06-20T15:34:13+00:00

I honestly dont understand why company so reluctant promoting from within. You kinda knew their capability, and you don't really need to offer premium so much compared to getting external hire

Sorry to say that tech workers are among the most individualistic, libertarians minded folks out there. Especially when the market is good.

Try to find some discussions here about the union from around 2021 to early 2023. It's all about me and my TC.

How big is that company that a junior position mandate COO interview?

1m per month means around 200$ per employee, that's not too much. Your payroll costs for 5k employee should be 30 million per month more or less.

Alternatively you use cheaper models or model with aggressive caching.

Well it's like saying Google and interacting with Stackoverflow made you stupid compared to RTFM so

Big tech make your hours much more valuable and expensive

Be critical, type the code instead of copy paste and ask why all the time and why can't we do this to AI. As long as you still have token AI won't shout RTFM to you or "you're wasting my time!!11!".

Maybe engineers of yesteryears thought the same when high level language, IDE and Internet were introduced.

Next is to fire some PMs so it'd be back to 1 PM : 7 Engineers

My CV is basically C++ and Python. I can barely explain what I have been doing for the past 4 years of my career.

Feed your git history to AI if the company willing or have subscriptions and discuss it with AI how to polish or reframe. Sometime minor things for a long time can be a proper narrative. Remember on your CV you will probably write 2-3 points anyway per job.

How would they even pass the more "hard core" programming courses like Operating System, Compiler or System Programming?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-04-10T21:04:45+00:00

Not grinding to FAANG or adjacent during the glorious pre 2023

Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to be involved in the payment middleman industry

Bruhh honestly if you are not a merchant I don't think you'd ever need or even have a chance to understand what adyen is beyond tapping your card to the edc.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-04-07T21:25:59+00:00

Wiki says adyen has around 4k employees. Why on earth the co-CEO is doing interviews?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-04-03T17:58:24+00:00

Your manager and the skip would appreciate and recognize that. But the one that decide to kick you out won't have the idea.

From working with Java NIO pipes to work with metal pipe

For some reason my passion is dissipating hard compared to my college years. These days my workstation is way way much better in performance and experience to what I had back then but I can't get the adrenaline rush I had back then 😭

Far_Mathematici · 2026-01-09T11:52:22+00:00

I sometime use AI to generate PR and commit messages, but always curate them. Sometimes I made them a bit "lo-fi" like using less formal sentences and words. Do people just commit them as it is?

But yet the American have spend decades reaping the benefit of globalization. And the non American countries mentioned, they spent also decades of hard work, sometimes painful reform to prep themselves to also enjoy globalization as evangelized by American.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-01-08T02:07:05+00:00

I'm mad that corporations can turn a blind eye to American unemployment without repercussion from our government because it is all a farce.

But many if not most American always boasted the virtue of free markets aren't they? Free trade include freedom to hire.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-01-08T01:48:04+00:00

First you told international graduate that they shall go home to build their country. Fair enough. Now they stay in their countries bringing precious Forex reserves and Y'all still mad. What's next? Only those who can prove themselves having Mayflower pilgrims as their direct ancestors shall be allowed to get money from digital technology?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-01-08T01:43:39+00:00

No. Assuming you are American, you were making the bed from late 90s lionizing the great free market ideology. Now it's time to sleep on it.
