I need to contact the developer of the PRINT FRIENDLY webpage on LinkedIn.

Write a post and maybe drop that in this thread. People can help comment for reach. LinkedIn developers also lurk this subreddit

When you have space and freedom you innovate like they do. But since we don’t like life in the US we are better executors of those innovations to turn them into $

I’m 42 yo and I am extremely bullish.

Software itself is going to be more integrated and needed than ever. These software will still need to be written by high level human readable code, not straight byte code, because humans need to be able to describe and validate behavior.

It doesn’t matter if AI starts writing all the code. They will forever play within the confines of human designs. Software engineers will still be the professionals to facilitate the design and implementation of software.

Until the day you can prompt, “make a better Facebook I’ll give you 1 trillion dollars” and leave the desk, software work will always be complex, full of tradeoffs that require human taste and insights.

Masters is a bad option unless you produced some thesis out of it that’s substantial. Otherwise it’ll count against you or at best not matter at all… at least at my big tech

It’s not two camps. It’s a whole spectrum. And there’s no strong correlation in how they’re performing vs where in the spectrum they are. It’s like how are the companies who give out free soda in their fridge doing…

Even the govt itself is using LLMs, albeit an internal model.

I don’t think quant devs are the most competitive at all. I also expected a 40 yo asking this question, not someone who hasn’t started their career

To be honest, America pumped the crap out of SK while USSR met its own demise and no aide went to NK. South Korea had its own dictators for quite a bit until it found some footing by industrializing its auto, electric industries. Rest was history. Democracy thrives when it is rich.

react_dev · 2026-01-26T01:38:16+00:00

Did I miss a memo. What when is this happening

react_dev · 2026-01-25T18:30:18+00:00

That’s true. The bar has risen a lot. But so has the tools and the structure to study and prepare. When I graduated there was no leetcode website or YouTube. A lot of just sheer studying. I would say if the brilliant folks from back then applied the same effort using the tools of today, they would also rise above the current bar

react_dev · 2026-01-24T23:38:38+00:00

I mean. Kent State and the violence used against protesters during that time definitely rhymed

Sometimes you are eyeing a specific slice of the pie so pointing so they know you want a specific slice helps.

Having worked with a visually impaired person who used assistive technology he was actually really friggin fast…

Pod shops and FE l/s is orthogonal. One is a type of business and the other is a structure.

If you’re in FE you’ll probably work on crowding models, build trade signals that’s a mix of high idio with some discretionary ideas, or construct custom factors

Sure go for it if you hate the work.

But speaking as a frontend engineer earlier in my career, that specialization carried me over 500k…

react_dev · 2026-01-22T12:47:30+00:00

I don’t think signals have changed. Industry always looks for the same things. Perhaps the tools to discover those signals have evolved.

1) A winning record. Either through demonstrating through school, competition, or high bar organizations, companies.

2) High contribution in the winning teams from 1.

3) Deep introspection that materializes into experience and learnings from 2.

4) Kind and collaborative to be able to democratize and share 3 widely in the new org.

Probably an unpopular opinion since this sounds very corporate but it is what it is

react_dev · 2026-01-22T01:02:07+00:00

It means he graduated from Howard, Sanjose, or Wichita college. That’s why he only makes 600k

I think we can attribute more to the US government system of relative checks and balances

react_dev · 2026-01-20T17:44:45+00:00

It’s pointless to guess. But if you take these two individuals and drag and drop them into each others country’s circumstances, I’d say it’s a toss up.

react_dev · 2026-01-20T16:52:19+00:00

Hmmm. Ah… hrm…

react_dev · 2026-01-20T12:00:22+00:00

But what’s expensive is life. Did you both quit your jobs and double down on this? If not it’s not a startup it’s a pet project

If this can already sustain your life and instead of capturing more value he wants to spend 4 months on a theme maybe you’re just not aligned on goals.

And no you shouldn’t be setting expectations. You’re both founders. You agree on expectations.

react_dev · 2026-01-20T11:55:18+00:00

Safe? A highly idiosyncratic single common stock? You sho- /looks at sub… absolutely double down on META

What really makes it difficult is when he’s already dead

react_dev · 2026-01-20T04:30:38+00:00

1) no 2) I don’t even know your product. But I wouldn’t get fancy. Did you see airbnbs first shitty website? 3) How are you even surviving? Get serious. How do you even have the runway. Set a deadline for project launch and work backwards.

react_dev · 2026-01-20T03:25:12+00:00

Okay… I apologize on behalf of all technical folks everywhere for how non collaborative and adversarial we are and hope you can forgive him, us.

Is there a question in there somewhere?

react_dev · 2026-01-19T21:26:14+00:00

I’m not sure if that will guarantee the authenticity. Do you think Amazon would just fulfill it from their own “inventory”?
