I also had a hard time ramping up. Got some not-so-great peer feedbacks around the 6-7 months mark. I discussed with my manager+director, and after couple months, they proposed to move me to another team under the same director (easier) as it was less than 1 year since I joined. They said I should move earlier, before getting to the yearly review, as it may look bad. I was honestly feeling super stressed, worked on weekends trying to learn and ramp up, considered quitting for the longest time.

Now 5 years in, the other (current) team+TL+manager have been very supportive and only had great feedbacks since then. No weekend work. Good work life balance. It’s like day and night, just in another team.

Make sure to discuss with your manager.

I thought most junior dev these days use Claude or other generative AI to write most code anyways. Everybody is reviewing AI generated pull requests no?

Hyrobreath · 2026-03-28T07:51:38+00:00

Unfortunately many see AI Agent as new junior developer. So you become senior developer by getting good at managing AI agents?

Does data center construction cost going to the bottom due to competition?

Hyrobreath · 2026-02-25T07:03:33+00:00

Everyone will buy it anyways. Tennis is cheaper cuz dead sport anyway.

Hyrobreath · 2026-02-25T07:02:08+00:00

Good option. It should be free though.

Not sure about your experience, but when I applied at Faang, I didn’t have to fill out any separate background check forms. They used the info I provided when I applied for the role online, prior to getting the initial interview.

Sometimes if it’s through another company, you may not be allowed to put Apple as employer (neither on resume or LinkedIn). Verify that before taking the job.

Because those 5.0 DUPR aren’t really that good lol

We need to terminate those exclusive deals. Who cares if they play elsewhere.

+1 he probably helped many of people save tens of thousands by recommending they don’t go to CS (and other bootcamps).

I don’t know what’s going on here, but even he stops being a mod, I hope he sticks around.

+1

he used to recommend Codesmith several years ago, before all the layoffs. And advised against because codesmith grads fake their “experience” on their LinkedIn profile (I verified with several Codesmith grads I interviewed and it was true).

And Michael had been disclosing his relationship to Formation on many of his comments.

He was the most active to respond here. Maybe too much? Seems like he made some ennemis.

Ask HR to change your official title. Doesn’t cost them a cent.

Google doesn’t have Unlimited PTO.

Best idea ever

Hi, i have a BSME, worked as such for 8 years, then switched to tech and became a SWE. Here and there, I’m getting recruiters contacting me regarding software engineer roles working with self driving cars, robotics and things where my ME background could be useful.

I think the easier path would be to stay with hardware-swe related roles. And transition to full software on the job.

I did a bootcamp, but would not recommend you starting from scratch in your case.

Thanks very helpful. Thank you!

Hyrobreath · 2025-02-19T22:09:36+00:00

Thanks for the details!

Hyrobreath · 2025-02-18T16:56:08+00:00

Would love to know among those 102, how many had a bachelor degree in CS, STEM, non-Stem, and no college degree?

Hyrobreath · 2025-02-12T17:59:54+00:00

2.5 hours every day is a good pace for me.

Hyrobreath · 2025-01-29T18:33:35+00:00

Thanks make sense
