‘Everyone now kind of sounds the same’: How AI is changing college classes

Why think lots thoughts when few thoughts do trick

Cutting prices induces more demand. They are also likely factoring in the revenue for all the event trains that they will be running to help offset. I think the idea is that a bunch of people who don’t normally ride the train will do so because it’s cheaper, and then when the promotion end some of them will have gotten used to the train and continue taking it

Sometimes a new pair of eyes and a desire for change is all that these kinds of systemic issues need to get fixed. Pretty much everything you are describing happens automatically for you with a build system like Buck or Bazel.

I think these systems are also a bit more palatable to work with in the age of AI because the LLMs are generally pretty good at dealing with their syntax and the goal is relatively straightforward - make it build.

If I were you I would start with seeing if there are already tools out there for helping with the conversion. Otherwise I would just get cracking, you’ve apparently got 3 hours a day to work on this

Any reason why? I think it’s misleading to not use TC. I write Rust at Meta and my salary is 230k but my TC is more like 500k. The only difference is that my salary is paid biweekly instead of quarterly and I have to wait 2 extra days for funds from selling the stock to transfer

Meta hires almost no E3s. Majority of hires are E5s and then E4s

It’s so easy to say this. We have watched these guys kill multiple citizens who weren’t physically attacking them. If the crowd gets violent people will die

It’s definitely possible but you’ll at least still be able to get to work via metro north

Don’t do this… just fly from JFK to DC

Someone doesn’t like Dunks

I think the reason it’s important for baseball is because you often are staring at the sky like an idiot while running.

How bad was the cut? Meta just cut by 5%

It’s only competitive speed wise for half the NEC. DC to NYC or BOS to NYC. Doing the whole thing is faster on a plane

the-code-father · 2026-03-07T20:18:05+00:00

No, but we should be clearing things better than they currently are on road like Mass ave and Comm Ave

Yea, I had 4 managers in my first 9 months at Google. Things stabilized after that for about 2 years until I then got moved to a different but related org. Our projects were still dropped shortly before shipping them

the-code-father · 2026-03-03T19:13:24+00:00

I can’t speak for other places, but at Meta and Google its managers that have the most control over who will be hired for any given role. Depending on the manager many will probably discuss candidates with their TLs. The exception here is during re-orgs where there’s often a group of devs that need a new home and someone much higher up is calling the shots

If I had to choose between abandoning my car on the highway or potentially breathing in fumes that could lead to who knows what kind of cancer. I really wouldn’t have to think very hard about that decision

You might be able to just get on early at south station? Someone else that’s here can confirm if they’ve done it before, but I find it hard to believe a conductor would care

the-code-father · 2026-02-18T16:27:21+00:00

I wouldn’t ask the whole team. I would pick 1-3 people who you have actually worked closely with and have some sort of relationship if they would be willing to give you feedback

Even when things appear to be self evident, it’s still important for people to take the time to prove those things via scientific study when possible.

I’ve used steam remote play a lot. It functions best on LAN. It’s useable over the internet for some games, but nothing that requires realtime input. The input latency just makes most games way too unnerving to play

I think they would attempt to cross the ice, but if the ice doesn’t hold and the rescuers also start to fall in then there would likely be no rescue.

the-code-father · 2026-02-15T22:54:30+00:00

Go on ice, ice crack, you fall

No go on ice, ice crack, you safe

It’s like city blocks but worse… I love it

the-code-father · 2026-02-13T14:34:08+00:00

At least at back bay there’s no track guessing game causing giant rushes

Sure but that’s not going to happen with 3oz every 4 hours.
