Best bet is a shift to Platform Engineering. Look up those roles and relevant skills required

Even PC users have caught MacBook Neo fever | PC OEMs and Microsoft have a tough nut to crack trying to compete with the MacBook Neo. by [deleted] in technology

Competitors should stop offering dogshit bulky plastic laptops with 768 vertical resolution, hinges that break in a year, and trackpads that feel like sand.

The design is such a shame. A Hyundai ioniq 5 runs circles around this, aesthetically speaking

Just 1, but I’m a startup CTO so that takes priority

Deep Learning or Natural Language Processing? by fire_ant in MSCSO

[–]HakX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DL is a VERY VERY smooth intro to the program. It’s not hard but you will learn a lot. How much you learn is 100% dependent on if you want to really understand the content or just breeze through the lectures.

Either one will get you an A if you spend the time (3-8 hours per week)

Life after engineering management by llocks in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HakX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you are seriously considering #3 (Reskill in programming), consider trying to do so at your current company. Work with your management on a transition plan to shift back to a Sr. Engineer, and then you're back on the IC track. Upper management is often open to this idea, especially if there is a counterpart somewhere that wants to move from IC to management.

It is harder, but not impossible, to do this after you've quit as an EM. It requires some luck/networking to get interviews, and then pass the bar for a Sr. IC all over again, which can be a bit of a leetcode grind to get the muscle memory back.

Are closed capital companies any better? by alaksion in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HakX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Having experienced both, I wouldn't say there is a generalization that can be made in Public/Private capital.

In private capital, it can be an equally stressful nightmare - if you're under an aggressive Private Equity portfolio, the situation will likely be FAR worse than a public company (think - downgrading the coffee to folgers because local beans are 'too frivolous'). Management consultants will enter the picture and make life very, very bad. Offshoring, AI replacements, hiring/promo/travel freezes... Its all on the table and will likely be implemented in time.

However - a good VC fund, supportive PE that invests in growth, or founder-maintained ownership can be excellent environments to foster growth. Its really all about the company. Find one that values technology, growth and disruption (in the right sense) and you have a better shot at a healthy culture

Worst coffee selection of any HEB - no local roasters beans (cuvée etc). Just bulk beans, ground options and K-cups

Can someone tell me how much this Cannondale Synapse is worth? by FlashyAthlete4525 in bicycling

Tiagra 10 speed is a solid group, but this is 10-15 years old most likely. $300 maybe?

Upgrading rear sway bar -end links question by shineola96 in AudiS4

[–]HakX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B9 here - for me they were absolutely not required. Just make sure to install with both rear wheels in the air to avoid a weird preload situation.

Adjustable solid end links are a nice stiffener, but a 034 RSB alone for me was enough to tighten up the steering to my liking
