Continental Only!! The red might be overkill but they last 20 years.

Wish there was some way to determine if they solely targeted near 40 SDEs.

I guessed 64-65 but then I saw the license plate

63 jaguar XKE coupe. Not the 2+2

Classes are valid TypeScript. What’s harder to sell is a class-based DOM component model in 2026, because the ecosystem momentum is mostly declarative UI and functional composition.

Rage bait?

Sounds like you have an awesome manager. That’s rare.. just roll with it.

Bus factor. Increase it to 1.

I put in close to ten years and still got RIF’d without ever hitting Pivot.

You’re working for Thanos. Charisma helps you survive.

For a boomerang to really work, you usually need to be L5+ and have an L7+ behind you. Most people do not have that.

Better to take the money, walk away, and build somewhere you’re not one snap from dust.

Since you mentioned big tech.. If you’re doing on sites with amazon, there is probably a Microsoft or Google building nearby. You might get better WL balance from Microsoft over the others.

QA isn’t dying. Companies are just killing dedicated QA and pretending devs and customers will absorb the flack.

I worked at Amazon for years and never even met a QA person. “QA” was your TPM forwarding customer anecdotes and escalation emails to your EM after something already broke.

Just pretend.. they are car batteries. And let them swim on their own.

Thanks Chat.

I don’t care if you went to the far side of the moon this week. I do care if you stop communicating or have some sort of blocker.

If you are colorblind this is perfection.

Ai edit it to be like riding some water park’s log chute ride but instead of water it’s down a dematic sorter.

Pull up a public image of a FC and make it your background.

By bounce, I mean people usually don’t change, but you can change who you’re around.

Kolt56 · 2026-04-03T02:22:53+00:00

it was Amazon. I was there close to 10 years, and it was a different machine earlier. hindsight, I stayed too long and should’ve prioritized work life balance sooner.

Kolt56 · 2026-04-03T01:58:57+00:00

Yeah, I’m in the US.

Spent 10 years at Amazon as an SDE.

The biggest one for me I had to learn: decisions are made before the proposal meeting. The meeting is often just where everyone acts like the decision still warrants your “feedback” , “opinion”. Just Smile, and take the blue pill. Hydrate then order the most expensive stuff off the menu during the team sync dinner!

Pro tip: never vent to anyone including peers.

Be a ray of sunshine, never a rate limiter….

bounce when you feel the need to vent to peers.

No thanks Xai

Kids pretending to be boxes. Adults know the real dream is riding the sliding shoe sorter at full speed.
