I was and leading multiple teams. I was and still programming.

Not really sure what you are referring? I always made sure developers are interviewed and treated with fairness and compassion. No crazy assignments, most is done same day, they get response right away. Always promoted good practices and learning. I wish I was perfect, I was not, but I think I did really good job.

At the moment, I am not leading or managing any team.

Ask HN: How can Uber drivers make money when pool rides are so cheap?
I've been taking Uber pool a lot lately. Sometimes rides are as little as $4 and I go clear across town from SOMA all the way to the north end of the city. How can they possibly make money on rides this cheap? Lyft prices on the other hand are much higher, sometimes as much as 4x.
You made a great point. Truly for a great engineer, Uber should't be the only place. I am sure very soon those good bright ones will leave the place. Culture is very important for an Organization where -- "meaningful work and meaningful relationships that are obtained by striving for truth and excellence with great people" Quote from Ray Dalio's https://www.principles.com/#Part-3

It takes a lot to build an organization and from how Travis ran Uber there is no sustainable effort in that direction.
Do you really think Apple is going to make their employees walk to the train station? They will obviously have shuttles running

In today's economically-rationalised times, there isn't much in the way of non-essential work anymore. Fire the janitorial staff and see how long your 6-figure staff stick around, for example. Or for a more direct example, fire your sales and marketing staff, and see how long the company survives.

Yes, you can always find an example of a company that works without a person in position X (including plenty who don't have in-house developers), but almost everyone is hired today to fill a need rather than a head-count.

Why? I really don't think she has anything to fear from Uber. And if you read her post, she doesn't seem interested in devoting the next phase of her life litigating and reliving that experience -- it is very clear that she's moved on.
5 Lessons Learned While Working on Animated Feature Films
Agreed that its obvious. Regular "hard working" concept will only lead to regular good results. Uber is reinventing a whole market. Also remember they're playing against a very crooked taxi industry that could easily hold back any player that tried to play by the rules.
half the people on this board are too young to remember the 2008 collapse because they weren't old enough to see the bubble which helped build up from 2004-2008.

tesla is indeed garbage as a stock. however, it is trending, and it's value is supported by major insider banks which loot the treasury and the economy at large. in this case, goldman sachs.

so the stock CAN keep going up, but not because the company is profiteably making cars. stock prices in a bull market are about buyers and sellers talking bullshit about the company while sellers dry up.

bear markets are about those who HOLD the stock holding it for dividends . if we had a market where those who owned tesla for dividends were repsponible for perpetuating a market price---------indeed it would be closer to a 4 billion dollar company than a 44 billion dollar company.
That doesn't seem obviously true to me. Google for example doesn't run shuttles to Mountain View Caltrain.

Apple operates door-to-door shuttles to SF and other population centers but that isn't really the point. The point is they have obviously provisioned enough parking to give each and every one of their employees a parking space, with some left over. It's just irresponsible given the traffic situation in the area, and to call it energy efficient is greenwashing.

It sounds like you haven't looked a bit at Stripe's versioning, given your generic critiques.

Stripe's API versions come with absurdly detailed changelogs, documentation that's complete for each version and automatically shows you the right doc for the version you're on, and consistency/forethought in API design that means very, very rare breaking changes that cause real problems for an application.

I've used them for almost 3 years now in an extremely complex payments system -- we use nearly every feature they offer in several different ways -- and it's always been a pleasure.
I'm not trying to be dismissive of your concerns, but do you think the truck driver will keep his job when automation comes because he spent every waking moment trying to rise to the top of that industry? The world's best buggy-whip makers probably did not make a graceful transistion to more modern transportation.

Maybe your github contribs are different from mine, but all the projects I can see myself working on now would just make me a better buggy-whip maker.

Sure. But I'm arguing that "contributing to free software is working for free for some company, in the hopes you get a job" is not really fair -- especially when you consider that many free software projects are run by the community (or that you might be a user of the project).
Love bitrise!

Customer support is great. They get actively involved with the community to solve issues. Great example was a tweak to access control in sierra meant builds hung. Bitrise worked on a solution with the fastlane guys.

Platform is rock solid.
Which is a fair complaint. But lots of people seem to be overreacting. I imagine any number of large employers would have much worse stories than that out there somewhere.

I think the only complicated part of the developer experience is something Javascript developers have become accustomed to: multiple compilers and complicated build tools. But you get over it.

There are some nice tools as well: merlin, utop, and friends.

As to the ecosystem, I beg to differ: the ocsigen suite of tools (lwt, server, js_of_ocaml), Core, Bucklescript, etc. They're all amazing, well documented, and open source.

I think both languages are quite nice honestly. F# has become a lot more attractive now that .NET is more readily available on more platforms. I hope it gains more steam too!

> Take the easiest/least time consuming classes you can find and try to work during those 4 years. Don't allow a useless college degree to make you broke.

If you take the easiest/least time consuming classes you will likely end up with a useless college degree. Go to a state university that has a solid co-op or intern program and major in something difficult. Take hard classes and focus on those (EE, CompSci) because they will open up high paying internships during school and an entry job after graduation.

Don't burn yourself trying to balance school and work concurrently, don't waste your time taking easy classes that will leave you struggling after graduation!

> For most jobs/careers, You just need the certificate ~ at least in the long term.

That may be true, but your courses/GPA will matter for the first job... or to get the MS degree required for many jobs in engineering today.

After all the hate mail they recieved they opened up a free Mandrill plan if you are a paying Mailchimp customer. Who knows how long that will last though.

"devaluing working class people's taxi registration"

Wonder if she got a leather jacket.
Hi. Thanks for the very interesting article. Quick question regarding the following:

> "On a response failure (i.e. the operation executed successfully, but the client couldn’t get the result), the server simply replies with a cached result of the successful operation."

Have you considered having the server respond with different http-status-codes for the initial successful request as opposed to any nop-retries? This provides the client with additional information that may prove useful. A lazy client could simply choose to treat both response codes identically, as a success indicator. And a more diligent/sophisticated/paranoid client could choose to act upon this information in some other way.

From a side-effects/persisted-data perspective, returning a different status-code would have the exact same effects as what you described. But it would also give clients additional information that they can choose to act upon if desired.
They solved the Hail A Cab From The Street Problem. The actual ability to be mobile in a city for low cost was already solved with mass transit, and even calling a cab ahead of time. The App For Cabs, is useful compared to the previous world where you stood on the corner waiting for a taxi to stop, but to so say they are solving "mobility" for an great economic good is stretching it.

It's a cab company that decided to ditch the cabs and to "contract" with "independent owner-operators" in an effort to circumvent the laws around cabs, and to avoid the hassles of actually having employees and capital expenditures. It's just the Web 2.0 business of plan of "let the users provide the content, and then sell it back to them", applied to physical objects.
No client-side JS makes me so very happy.

But I do wonder, the first thing I want to do, as soon as I see a post, is comment on it. Or vote. Or both. Is there anything like that would be simple enough to pull in?

Wait, I know, you don't have one if you're chasing the F U Money.

You know, drug traffickers are also reinventing the market, and forging ahead into a new commodity, and using "outside of the box" thinking like assassination and liquifying your competitors in drums of chemicals. Those unnecessary regulations like "laws" are just evil big government trying to control poor defenseless drug cartels.
Just a guess, but in the ~80s/90s, coloring books were popular for children. At restaurants, they would have single-page coloring pages for kids with a handful of crayons. The caption used to say "Color me well" or something. There was a 90's R&B band that was a play on this phrase called "Color me badd".
In starcraft there's a much bigger advantage since humans are inherently "single threaded", and so you can get much bigger discrepancies in APM (or EPM). Smash is more like 1 unit vs 1 unit micro. The precision and timing are still advantages for the AI, but not so much raw parallel compute.
If I wanted to work on Uber Eats, I'd work for Doordash.

If I wanted to work on build tools, I could literally do that anywhere else.

As far as working on a side project, why work on a side project when you can work where that is a core competency? (And yes, I'd say Uber Eats is a side-project. Everything that isn't directly related to getting a midrange Mazda to pick you up is a side project at Uber.)
I am intrigued. What messaging app do people in the US use? SMS? Or iMessage? What cross-platform messaging is the most common in US? I mean to ask "used overall" and not by a particular age group.

Here in India I used to think it's only WhatsApp pretty much then I realised there are many apps which have substantial user-bases e.g. hike messenger (hike.in). I was surprised that Viber still has decent number of users in India and then of course there is Fb Messenger.

> Firefly's inhabited planets are still a heck of a lot closer, since the crew doesn't seem to noticeably age between the half dozen or so star systems that they visit

The 'systems' in Firefly are really all one star system. The system includes a central star orbited by planets, four other stars, and a host of "protostars" (they really mean brown dwarves). I've tried, and can't imagine a scenario where, even if such a system could form, that it could be configured in this way. The barycenter of the masses of this system can't possibly remain in the central star indefinitely, for starters. And the whole thing sounds hostile to planets - I imagine them being thrown out of the system constantly. But if you accept that, and you accept travel at some fraction of c, then you wouldn't expect them to age much like they would traveling between systems.

> Okay, why not allow an NPC to just mess with the human player's actions then (blocking or delaying button clicks, for instance)? Surely, that falls into "all the tools", no?

Are you talking about physically delaying their inputs? As in from the controller to the main board? This would fall under the same category as a player hitting the controller out of his opponent's hand -- foul play.

> IMO, the way you went about things isn't particularly compelling—your human opponents don't have white-box access to game internals, and if they did, guess what? They'd play better too.

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to here, but I'll respond to how I think you're trying to take this.

Source code wise: Yes. If the players had access to the source code the learning curve would be significantly shortened. Though, in due time, most would have figured out the mechanics fully, or within a short deviation, in closed source. A part of competitive play is this exact aspect. Players experimenting, sharing, and building up their understanding of the game. If the source was freely available to explore, most players would stick to the "show" part of the process, i.e working reflexes and learning combat -- what most elite players focus on (since they've mastered the science of the game already).

I agree with you that unchecked enforcement of rules by the government is a negative. But perhaps you would agree with me that net neutrality, and perhaps more broadly the FCC, are not in an "unchecked" state.

Like I said in my original comment though: I don't disagree with you entirely; I understand that the free market in most cases does correct itself. It just seems that there is a certain balance required for free-market correction, which if upset, allows for unchecked behavior by private companies.

I suppose a better articulation is as follows: the free market, when working correctly, allows me to choose with my wallet. I literally can't do that in my city, unless you mean to say that spending thousands to millions to construct my own ISP is a reasonable alternative to true competition. At least from a consumer perspective?
My point was that net neutrality would solve this specific issue in a top down manner, removing the need for people in cities across the country to "take matters into their own hands".

It seems that you are suggesting that free market forces are capable of correcting all imbalances? (not 100% sure your position)
Uh what? You're going to need to provide some evidence for that kind of statement.
