Ask HN: How to get a Sr SRE/PE job without a standard corporate ladder resume?
Every job these days seems to only want to hire people who haven't had any gaps in employment. I went into startup consulting for 5 years, which didn't lead to official roles, and then I didn't have a choice when I had to take care of my semi-disabled mom for 2 years overlapping the pandemic.

It's like starting over having no experience and them waving an "experienced candidates only" sign.

So how do you get a job if you have the experience but can't "prove" you're "proven"? I'm not going to lie on a resume like a roommate candidate did.

Also, I'm thinking about turning down a FAANG interview because they want me to invent a resume, I hear they're extremely ageist, and they're aggressively promoting under-qualified people to meet artificial "diversity" goals. "Promoting all people" is the copy on their website, but that's not what they mean.

Should I just become homeless and give-up on the delusion of ever getting a mid-six-fig gig?
For a lot of problems, clean data labeled data is no longer the bottle neck, or in some cases, there are ways around it. The bigger issue is dealing with the "long-tail" of unknown new scenarios. This is a currently unsolved challenge.
Yeah def a company culture thing.

I agree it’s a compliance issue, this is def GRC, and agree with your def of HR.

What I notice is HR likes to really move on employees when it has legal protection to do so. What a “pervasive pattern of misconduct” is often has a law behind it in some form, as otherwise you risk a wrongful termination lawsuit.

So, if you have a situation where an employee’s pattern of misconduct sources back to only, or at the root, IAM allowing it (say an extreme scenario like consistently nuking prod), there is now some gray area for those wrongful termination suits.
>called out Israel for its violent tendencies.

Compare Israel to its close neighbourhood, the US or even France and the UK. Israel exists in the ME, what's the West's excuse for fighting in different continents? And his text goes much further than that.

>If that blogpost was the same, but said Israel, instead of the Jewish people; would there be any issue with it today?

It would be grossly inaccurate, but saying dumb stuff wouldn't be enough to get people to call for his removal.

>Israel themselves have fostered the narrative that Israel represents the Jewish people by constantly conflating an attack on Israel as an attack on the Jewish people.

It's not a particular surprise that people who are drawn to attack Jews attack Israel too. Maybe if critics of Israel took pains to separate themselves from the antisemites rather than excusing them, more people would see a difference between critics and actual antisemites. If instead their only resort would be to argue bad faith, well, people would see that too.

I see. I don't agree, but to make sure I understand -- she should have said "racist" tweets instead of "insensitive tweets" right? I think that is a reasonable ask. However how should she have worded the appology? It sounds like you take issue with "sorry to anyone I offended"? I am familiar with "sorry you were offended" but would not have interpreted her wording in that way -- e.g. the former is a direct apology and admittance of wrongdoing towards another on her part, while "sorry you were offended" is a typical avoidance of apology. Genuinely I would like to understand. To fully state my interpretation, I would guess she was genuinely sorry but was unaware of the most suitable way to appologize for it.

Not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but not only is the title on HN editorialized from the original article's "Copyright Holders Hold Cloudflare Liable for Failing to Terminate Repeat Infringers," I'm not sure if the original article's title is accurate. The word "hold" and using the word "liable" as an adjective both imply that the court has made some sort of decision, which does not appear to be the case:

> With the motion for summary judgment, the copyright holders ask the court to rule that, because it failed to act, Cloudflare indeed is liable for the repeat infringements of its customers. If that is the case, the only remaining issue will be the scale of the damages claim.

> Cloudflare will likely disagree with these allegations but, at the time of writing, it has yet to respond in court. Previously, Cloudflare scrutinized the practices of the wedding dress manufacturers’ DMCA takedown partner, while describing the notices as invalid.

It's still very interesting that the case has proceeded this far, but other than denying Cloudflare's motion to dismiss, it seems that no action has been taken by the court thus far on this specific case.

Yes, but this can be easily worked around by creating custom types that wrap the integer (and can be unwrapped on compile time) and some conversion functions. So slightly more tedious but saying one can't define complex constraints on static types is not quite correct.

Not only did we lose the ability to manufacture things locally which has impeded our ability to innovate in certain fields, many companies were wiped out by new overseas low cost competitors who took the expertise they learned from our training in the initial outsourcing.

Essentially for short term gain for some, entire companies were destroyed.

So there were heavy costs on the backend.
It's your lopsided analogy, since Apple isn't analogous to a restaurant in the first place. My point is that Apple holds a lot more power than you give them credit for.
Large cross-platform native builds generally, not just mobile, kinda suck on the usual cloud solutions. The cloud stuff's amazing, performs well-enough, and is easy to configure if your workflow is... containers, and that's all. It gets rough in a hurry once you're much outside that, and especially with large (=long build time) apps. Many can accommodate native builds, but for anything non-tiny you'll experience slow builds or go over plan limits (and see spending skyrocket) in a hurry. Anything that requires large assets at build-time, or anything else for which it's nice to have persistent state between builds, is right out. You'll end up spending a bunch of time (=money) re-configuring your build to fit the tools, so performance is merely bad and not astonishingly, uselessly bad.

You're also more likely, with native builds on cloud CI, to run into "yeah, we support that! (I mean... we shipped it, anyway, pay no attention to all the bugs and rough edges)".

I have a feeling this is a facetious question, but:

Take a look at the history of Apple's efforts to block jailbreaking in combination with the AppStore rules that disallow 3rd party app stores. It is quite clear that Apple has use multiple methods to successfully fighr off the arisal of any alternative stores.

Apple openly admits to doing this, it really isn't a controversial claim.

Yea I spend 99% of time actually working on the product, but I have been also thinking about this recently as once you choose a license it has long lasting consequences and is hard to change (i.e. Elasticsearch). Figured this thread would be a good place to have a discussion though.

Large parts of NYC (much of the outer boroughs) are not near the subway, and not within walking distance of a supermarket (especially if you're carrying groceries for an entire family). Millions of people live there because they can't afford Manhattan rents, especially for a family-sized apartment.

Also, transit lines tend to connect well to mid-Manhattan but poorly between other locations. So if you live in Queens and work in Brooklyn, good luck getting to work reliably by public transportation. (Before you object to that arrangement, consider: If you own a house and have kids in school, you're not necessarily going to uproot your family and move just because your new job is further from home.)

Thus, many ordinary New Yorkers rely on cars to commute to work.
This review is so saturated with cynicism and rage that it's hard to take seriously.

This is the textbook definition of a disgruntled employee with an axe to grind, and many of the complaints are thinly veiled dog whistles ("obligatory token PoC HR muppet"? "Little boys playing tanks in the sand"? Please). The author clearly has problems and prejudices that extend beyond this employer.

If anything, the bits about giving the new hire time to learn instead of firing them immediately and the discussion about the company taking initiatives like diversity seriously sound like positives for Grove. The author of this review has an amazing ability to become angry at everything this company does.

It's clear that this person loathes everything and everyone around them, but I doubt the company is the problem here. I hope this person finds what they need in life to overcome these issues.
There was a project to develop a asic (probably bundled inside NIC) to do protobuf parsing. At some point Sanjay did a change to proto API that rendered that project less appealing.

You have to check the model and engine specifics. Kia had a bad run of V4 turbos due to metal shavings in the manufacturing process. I think the electric Hyundai is on recall in South Korea because it overcharges and catches on fire. That is sort of a national scandal over there as far as I can tell which will probably lead to positive changes in their manufacturing processes. It also took a lot of hassle of those V4 Kia owners to get warranty coverage.

That being said the V6 lambda engines are very nice and considered reliable. They started with the Genesis which was an important flagship vehicle. I have a V6 and have had no issues approaching 100k. But I am the type of person that wants to get 200k out of my vehicles, I have no idea if that will happen. I'd be upset if the car failed before 10 years as well.

There are forums where you can get an idea, especially if you look at previous model years.
> How is having tons and tons of random camera footage going to help?

One way to think of this is that that the footage is implicitly labelled: we have the benefit of hindsight: we know what the state/location of the vehicle was going into the future. That benefit of hindsight also can serve as implicit labels by knowledge that the vehicle did not crash or collide with something immediately after the footage.
The market rewards bold predictions. In 2016, Elon Musk said customers would be able from LA to NYC with no human intervention by the end of 2017. He's now the richest person on Earth.

It’s not a straight quote if you delete the last four words of the sentence without an ellipsis.
"Solution" and "Job" may be overstating things here. If all op needs is monitoring and alerting of a couple of machines, then Datadog/New Relic/Ops Genie/Pager Duty/Server Density/Pingdom/AppDynamics/Loupe/Sysdig/Dynatrace (just to name a few in the crowded space) are all likely overkill and not worth the cost.

A large portion of the cost of many of these tools is spent "choosing the right tool for the job" Figuring out what they do, what they do well, where they overlap, where the company that makes the tool is headed, how hard its going to be to swap that tool out for a better one (or cheaper one) - thats a lot of expense in labor and training.
Why do people always want to fix problems arising from capitalism by doing more capitalism?
"democrat party" is literally a documented epithet used derisively by conservatives. It's like referring to Repuiblicans as Publicans (something the DNC debated in response to 'democrat party') or Republicants, a later proposal.

I want to install apps though (and I actually do). Just those that makes economic sense for developers so that they won't want to resort to scams and even if they decided to, they wouldn't be able to. Apple's ecosystem provides that. I do run 3rd party apps on my Apple mobile devices and accept that there are reasonable vetting procedures at the human and OS level to protect my privacy and protect my device from malware. Android model unfortunately does not provide that, that's why I wouldn't install such apps in such a device.
I wouldn't say so. I've done a lot hiring for programming positions at various seniority levels. I've never found it hard to determine if a person can write code and communicate clearly about code written. It usually takes no more than a handful of specific questions and a 5-10min live coding exercise. I find 90%+ of candidates are unable to meet a basic standard.

The candidate could have no video and obfuscated audio, and I'd still enthusiastically hire them if they fell into the 10%. Most people I've spoken to have the same experience. Programming is an employee's market and stands to be into the future. As such, I don't think anyone who can code is at a significant disadvantage.
We don't live in the 1960s and tolerate 1960s accident rates any more. The 787 is much more representative of a reasonable timeframe for an experienced company to design and build a new airliner than anything that happened in the 1960s when there were minimal regulations and no competition.
Stopping would be a form of action too. ¯\_ツ_/¯

Definitely agree that a great product creates the most momentum and biggest moat! I figured this thread would be a good place to have a discussion and hear some other peoples experiences (and doesn't cost me lawyer fees).
I am fairly confident that the autonomous car business model is pretty dead. Electric cars - that's great ! But self driving is waaaay harder. And self driving has a inbuilt expectation of nearly perfect. It's not that if we swapped to self driving cars today we would halve car deaths (which would be something like 500k people pa - which would be a huge very important thing) but it would not be perceived as robots save 500k people a year, it would be instead "robots kill the other 500k per year"

Liability, insurance, legal minefields and plain old marketing would never allow cars ,that perform as well as the best performing cars do today, to be on the roads in "every day" conditions.

My conjecture is we end up building AV only roads. initially one lane of a highway, then ring roads round cities and major warehousing hubs, then across urban areas. Walled off in some way they simply become railways with benefits.

At that point every business model ever written with Self Driving in the title goes in the bin.

I am not saying the tech is useless - frankly it's fucking awesome that this is happening in my lifetime. But fucking awesome tech and workable business model aren't always the same thing.

Not sure where I am going with the rant but I sure hope we get more out of the billions spent here than Teflon.
Gitlab CI doesn’t mandate anything - you can run it on a “bare metal” server. However if you use a kubernetes executor it mandates that your builds run inside a container image, which is fantastic for reproducibility and visibility. Everything is versioned and can be customised at the repository or branch level with very little effort.

Of course this limits some more esoteric builds that might need dedicated hardware or for whatever reason cannot run inside a container, but you can mix executor types if you so please.
> that's precisely what's wrong in our society that it appears normal to pay for inconveniences to disappear.

I disagree, it’s what is awesome about our society. It’s a feature, not a bug.

I’ve gotten all the character I’ll get from cleaning toilets and I’m happy that someone else is willing to do it for me.

There’s no way toilet cleaner will be a high paying job because the skill set is so low. As with most manual labor. Low skill set means lots of people will do it means low wages.

I understand how to clean a toilet and the time involved. I choose not to do it. I won’t make me a better person to do it. I have considered why I’m reluctant and understand pretty completely. I grok why I don’t want to clean toilets. I’m comfortable with my understanding in this area.

It’s also ok that we value these experiences differently. I don’t have to convince you to pay someone to clean your toilet. I just have to convince you to continue letting me, and others, pay for toilet cleaning.
I'm subject to pretty regular trolling because I got blocked once for being overly aggressive and editwarry about removing some rule violating images.

Actually the inside baseball plays in the trolls favor because they go dig up some quotes and false accusations from some histrionic commenter calling me a malicious vandal and what not, which anyone on WP at the time took in the context of the speaker (e.g. not worth much), and then try passing it off as some kind of official finding.

It's pretty nuts. Basically the only thing that protect anyone is either having something more substantive to whine about when targeted, to have no online history, or to just never be targeted.

>What is biased or unbiased specifically in terms of hiring software engineers on their merit?

Nothing. It purely depends on how you define "merit"? For example a lot of tech companies only hire entry level people from elite colleges. That leads to a workforce that is largely white and largely middle to upper class. Sure, the average MIT grad is better than the average boot camp grad, but there are also plenty of boot camp grads that are better than plenty of MIT grads.
