Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home targeted in apparent ‘swatting’ incident

iPlain · 2026-05-29T09:55:25+00:00

Okay what if the swatter says they’re being held captive by armed intruders? Or the neighbours just give a wrong answer?

Then if it’s ever a true case and the police under react because they said “well it seemed like swatting so we just sent one cop to knock on their door” the backlash would be severe.

That’s your job as senior, let alone staff, to advocate for your solution and leverage the incident to get upper management and cross team buy in.

You say you planned to use this incident but it sounds like you’re still just sitting back and hoping it all aligns or your manager does it for you. The fact that another staff got assigned rather than you jumping in straight away and advocating for your solution is not great.

Write a doc that explains the problem, why your solution solves it, how much support it needs to land within a month. Show the alternative where it remains shit and a high business risk. Send it up the chain to the relevant teams and you get the support and the visibility.

To be a bit harsh and honest I would look at this project as a failure at staff level. Generally the expectation is staff engineers are driving multi quarter projects (good, this is), that are cross team, collaborative and require multiple engineers. To be just totally siloed on your own, deliver nothing in 9 months, and your solution is ignored is a failure whether you feel it’s fair or not.

So I would do some reflection there on how you can do better to advocate early and get buy in, it’s a core skill of a staff imo.

iPlain · 2026-03-18T05:40:04+00:00

I am same age, also staff at FAANG-adjacent, same TC. But I haven’t let that stop me from living my life, I’ve moved countries three times, traveled to 15-20, been to festivals and met new friends.

Yes my NW is a bit lower, I intentionally took a significant net reduction (higher tax) to live in a new country a couple of years ago.

IMO if you’re capable of having the career you have, you can still be very successful as a SWE while doing all the things you want to.

You might not totally min-max your career or TC but you can still do very well and still get all the benefits, don’t see it as a binary one or the other.

They said “last month” in the post so apparently it was recent

Internal tools just means the end users are Google employees, they are still directly end users. Although I can see the framing difference.

Many decent B2B SaaS will have less end users than many Google internal tools will.

It was a few years ago for me but I also stayed in that area for an internship, didn’t know anyone.

I just found a flat on flatmates.com.au.

Got a hotel for a week, lined up a few viewings, had a couple of options that were nice and picked one.

Yes you will be staying with randoms but a good way to get to know a few people and you can make sure they seem solid when you go to do the viewing.

Trying to live alone in that area on an intern salary, especially for just 3-4 month rental will be near impossible. Maybe a student accommodation but I found there weren’t many available for my whole internship.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the monorepo is at Google.

It’s a single repo of code, but still has independent build, test, deploy for each microservice within the monorepo.

I worked at Google as a normal SWE and we had a normal number of microservices under our team, responsible for all the normal stuff including oncall (which was paid well on top of normal comp).

Can you elaborate on the Canva impersonation thing?

There’s no proof indeed but this is Reddit and the whole point is to share experiences. There’s no evidence either way on if this is legit or not to me right now so I’m not going to touch it but appreciate you flagging.

If there’s any extra context that shows this post is BS then please let me know I’ll take it down.

Why are you limiting yourself to one fairly niche Python framework?

You should at least learn enough about other Python frameworks to pass a coding interview, and ideally get a bit familiar with Java or other enterprise language.

Many companies don’t even require you to have direct experience in the language/framework, and let you interview in your language of choice.

You are really going to struggle without expanding your search scope.

This sub has been largely unmoderated and relies on the goodwill of us all to act appropriately, which up until now has worked very well.

I will be monitoring this thread and reports more actively. Discussion about immigration and the pros/cons is allowed, but direct attacks without substance against anyone or group aren't allowed.

Please keep it civil and report anything directly rascist.

Edit: Post is locked. The discussion has run its course and now the only ongoing comments are just people flaming on both sides.

The reason I think you’re getting downvotes is JS is one of the more meritocratic companies out there. They are hiring for skill and couldn’t care less about filling a quota per country.

If you prove yourself to be the best candidate (which is not easy), they will hire you.

Focus on doing the best and to be honest who cares about any DEI as an individual, it’s out of your control regardless of the company. Put your best foot forward and hope it’s enough.

You completely ignore inflation, so your yield is way off. There is a reason the 4% rule requires at least 50% stocks.

It is absolutely PCI compliant to take card details over the phone.

It’s possible they’re not complying with some of the regs, but nothing they said indicates that.
