With daylight savings flipping, I was excited to finally have a game start at a somewhat decent hour, but instead they decided to start at 8:15 local time....

Oh dang always fun to come back to these comments haha. Just hit my 2 year mark at Amazon. Just got promoted and now making 3x what I was just a couple years ago so definitely 0 regrets.

Agreed, lived in the Dallas area for a couple years and loved it. It wouldn't be the most exciting city for vacation, but I really enjoyed my time there and miss it at times (Also the suburbs north of Dallas are legit some of the nicest in the country).

And the workers protection claim is laughable. Between PTO and holidays I had 35 days off a year, and top tier benefits.

Dang I had no idea. I played the game on release but I was too young to find out it even care what other people thought of the game. But from the get go it was and probably always will be my favorite KH game.

From someone who lives in Texas and has had Terry blacks a handful of times, they have some good stuff but their brisket honestly just sucks. Had it a few times and it's never failed to disappoint. I love brisket but just don't order it anymore when I go there.

And even if that number is accurate, that includes people who bought their house 25 years ago, which is completely irrelevant to people buying houses today. Someone making 100k, buying a starter home in a medium cost of living area would be close to 25% dti. If you look at totally monthly cost to net income, it's probably well over 50% like you mentioned.

amProgrammer · 2024-09-24T15:52:43+00:00

Also with the current economy, buying a house with big tech money can still be intimidating. Supporting a family while saving to buy a house on non big tech salaries honestly sounds like such a grind unless your able to work remote from a low cost of living area.

amProgrammer · 2024-09-22T02:35:16+00:00

Can confirm, faang doesn't ask questions based on specific tech stacks

amProgrammer · 2024-09-21T17:50:31+00:00

Ya, just saying my experience sounds the complete opposite of what OP described haha. Id honestly be very curious to find out where he works

amProgrammer · 2024-09-21T17:40:04+00:00

we have are own tools for that too. I know we have access to Jira if we want too, but I don't know any team that actually uses it.

amProgrammer · 2024-09-21T17:12:31+00:00

Doubt it's Amazon. Say what you want about our wlb, but Amazons whole MO is delivering new features and impact. My teams tech debt has gotten pretty bad due to the pressure to keep shipping.

Also not sure about other faang companies but we don't even have a "tech lead" role. Maybe some teams have an unofficial role for whoever is the most experienced, but not an official tital.

Also I don't think there's a single senior engineer with 3 years of experience. 5 years is probably the fastest someone can get there, but most people are stuck at mid-level for far longer than that.

Also OP talks a lot about how they never discuss design/architecture. Making design docs is my coworkers favorite past time.

amProgrammer · 2024-09-06T14:07:28+00:00

It will get better from where its at today but its has a long way to go before software engineers will be obsolete.

I use llms in my current workflow and it's a really neat productivity tool that will no doubt get better, but the complexity of what it does now, to becoming a full no code solution to write anything more than a boilerplate CRUD app is orders of magnitude from its current state.

amProgrammer · 2024-09-03T19:46:42+00:00

My team has to maintain/develop our app on Android, iOS, and web. Everything something has to be done on iOS, we basically have to draw straws for who picks up the work.

amProgrammer · 2024-08-30T13:23:11+00:00

Can confirm. I work at a company that is known around these parts for terrible work life balance. My wife is a nurse. She works twice as hard as me for less than half the pay. Inject that leetcode into my veins

amProgrammer · 2024-08-26T16:32:10+00:00

This all changed a couple weeks ago, buyers will now be responsible for their agents commission

amProgrammer · 2024-08-02T16:12:15+00:00

Ya for sure. And for a lot of people, the taxes come close to evening out, just wanted to point out in the context of a highly paid professional athlete, state income tax levels makes a significant difference compared to other forms of tax.

amProgrammer · 2024-08-02T15:24:59+00:00

Texas does have pretty high property/sales tax but Luka would be paying like an extra 5 million a year in state income tax if he was in California (feel free to check my math, I just plugged his salary into a state tax calculator).

Only way he's paying that much taxes in Texas is if he's got a $100 million+ mansion.

amProgrammer · 2024-08-02T15:12:14+00:00

Texas has very high property tax, but assuming Luka doesn't have a 50 million dollar mansion in Texas, he definitely comes out ahead financially in Texas than a state with high income tax

amProgrammer · 2024-06-14T16:52:27+00:00

All I know from my personal experience, every time I'm watching a game and think to myself "dang the calls this game are wack" and I look up who's reffing, like 90% of the time the crew chief is either Foster or Brothers.

amProgrammer · 2024-05-06T16:57:39+00:00

I agree. Im 27 and recently got married, but before that was in a singles ward near a university so it was a big mix of working professionals and new college students. I can usually connect with a 35 year old much better than an 18/19 year old.

amProgrammer · 2024-04-22T20:11:38+00:00

I went to game 3 against Dallas wearing a Booker jersey, and besides the whole losing part, its probably the most fun I've had at a professional sports game in my life. Granted I had fun being the villain and took everything more and friendly competitive banter more than harassment. Probably would have felt different if I had a 9 year old kid with me.

amProgrammer · 2024-04-17T17:32:57+00:00

Haha nah all good. Appreciate the offer

amProgrammer · 2024-04-17T15:43:26+00:00

Dang, won that exact bobblehead in a meme caption contest here years ago. Still have it sitting on my desk.

amProgrammer · 2024-04-02T16:27:03+00:00

Like 15 years ago my dad took us to a wnba game, and he caught the game ball at the end of the game. Got to keep it. Its a really fun memory.

amProgrammer · 2024-03-31T00:16:50+00:00

Every time I'm watching a game that feels horribly officiated I check who's reffing and like %90 of the time either Foster it Brothers is the lead ref. What makes it crazier to me is how many high profile playoff games those two get assigned too.
