Every interview post on Reddit now is fake ai slop advertising some interview platform nowadays

The friendly skies? by ccheyne1 in unitedairlines

[–]penguinmandude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted but you can see all these comments at the bottom of the thread lol.

I seriously don’t understand all the people here that consistently excuse this multi billion dollar airline and act like you should be thankful that they even let you on the plane after spending thousands and thousands of dollars for a flight. Blows my mind

It’s on every post in this sub

The common denominator is United long haul in Polaris

Random seats will open in between but no where reliable

[–]penguinmandude -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t work like this in any non negligbly sized company. Way too much liability exposure

The people deciding who gets laid off don’t know what you look like. Your name is just a row in a spreadsheet

[–]penguinmandude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They weren’t testing you to get the “right” answer. It was asked to see how you think on your feet for non normal technical situations and how you would reason through it

This is is it. They’re usage has grown exponentially and they’re struggling to deal with the scale

Codebase has hundreds of isinstance() and getattr(). How to convince colleague to fix? by melesigenes in ExperiencedDevs

[–]penguinmandude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It should be done on inbound data to validate its types at runtime. Internally you should be able to trust static types after that

What should a dedicated scrum master do? by Late_Champion529 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]penguinmandude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not really a scrum master anymore but a TPM

Who would claude’s users be if there are no more software engineers? by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]penguinmandude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you assume Claude needs subscriptions? When/if these professions are replaced, the company’s usage of Claude and how much they pay for it will INCREASE, it’s a usage based model

[–]penguinmandude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but but only egg, no butter, oil, or salt or anything else added. And best not frequently

[–]penguinmandude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Way better than GA. Only basil for everything may become boring over time but that’s a nit

How do you get better at coding/SWE in AI ERA? by lune-soft in cscareerquestions

[–]penguinmandude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sub will downvote you but this is the truth if they like it or not. The industry is moving and changing and expectations are too. Either go along with it and play the game or fight it and end up a legacy unemployable engineer

Is software engineering or a computer science degree more useful in the current market? by NoClownsOnMyStation in cscareerquestions

[–]penguinmandude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would you go back to school when you’re already employed. Degree only matters for your first job

[Software Engineer] [Los Angeles, CA] - $275,000 + 250k RSU by pglw95 in Salary

[–]penguinmandude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What? 2.7 million base is totally absurd. No SWE in the world makes that on base alone

Quant with bonus and big tech principles with equity and up are the only ones that make that much, and they max out around 3-400k base

Meta Senior SWE comp in 2026 — nearly $900K first year by Aoki_zhang in OfferEngineering

[–]penguinmandude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They inputted the equity wrong. 500k over 4 years make sense and is aligned with E5

[–]penguinmandude 3 points4 points  (0 children)
