Backend Engineer and Ex-Founder with 15 years of experience.
I have spent the last few years consulting, architecting, and building solutions for clients. Mostly working on backends that should operate at scale. I am currently interested in moving away from solo-consulting and looking forward to working with a strong remote team where I can both share from my experiences and learn new things.

Previously, I spent many years working on intranet and e-commerce/webshops for enterprise customers in the telecom industry, building an E-Business development platform and automation engine used to develop hundreds of projects, and building a PaaS that makes backend development for mobile, web, and IoT apps almost trivial. I then founded and ran a healthtech startup, where I wore many hats including backend developer, customer relations, sales, and marketing.

I have to imagine that it is good advice for early in your career. When you’re applicant number x out of 1500 who all got good grades at a good school, have some good github projects, and do well at the leetcode, grating the interviewer by prematurely mentioning comp may not be your best move.

Ha.
Actually, I sold you to uncle Larry, but don't worry, I'll be spending more time with your sister.
As a European I had quite the opposite experience in (high) school: my literature classes (English, French, German) consisted entirely of close readings and going meticulously through every rhetoric device/figure of speech (german: "analysieren"). At one time we had a teacher who insisted that we had to learn and exclusively use the latin/greek/french schemes.[0]

An interpretation of a given text (usally after (or mixed with) the analysis) effectivley had to be aligned with the views of the teacher otherwise you had to fight an uphill battle in convincing a given teacher of your train of thought. I once had the audacity to use the Nietzschian concept of "Apollonian and Dionysian" in my interpretation of a literary text (after the "thorough" analysis of course). Even after I had illustrated the concept on some examples in the text, my teacher insisted it was rubbish (in hindsight I can now understand his "aesthetic" objection). My classmates looked at me: why you are taking up such a fight, it is Mister/Misses "xyz" and his/her views are clearly "such and such", are you out of your mind? I've never tried something out of the "expected and accepted" after that and was "rewarded" with good grades.

I think most students (in puberty at least when occupied with other things) are trying to read the "teacher" and do not bother to really read the text for themselves, that's why a general question gets a broad general randomly generated emotional answer, they are trying to decipher the biases of the teacher by taking shots. If the bias then is to go read "closley" and name "figure of speeches" they will learn/parrot quickly for good grades.
I never forget how one teacher was so proud of one student's interpretation, he let her read all of it (10+ pages) aloud for all of us to hear; for anyone who even bothered to listen it was a perfect rendition of his (aesthetic/ideological) views - a mirror he narcistically viewed himself - an insightful cartoon for me.

In the Assertive profile, it can do rolling stops, but only under circumstances where it is very safe, such as four-way stops with no other driving vehicles present.
agreed - co-founder http://northflank.com here. Heroku has slowed innovating where expectations of infra have changed. You want more power and flexibility from your PaaS - finer-grained access to metrics & logs is one step - we have added LogQL support. On more optionality on queues - we've started with Redis and managed RabbitMQ is on the way.

Whether it's API support, collaborating in real-time, or scheduling cron jobs we're working hard to make PaaS much more powerful.

Other than more queues & metrics what would you like to see in a high-level PaaS?

Yeah I imagine they're still building and experimenting - and early adopters should treat it as such.
Better to set no price rather than guess incorrectly and advertise the wrong price.
I’m not replying to the guy who wants me to move to Tampa for “up to $60K” as a PHP developer. (Nothing against Tampa or PHP. I’m just not moving there for that.)

But occasionally I’ll get an email like:

“Hi! I saw from your LinkedIn that you used to do X, but now you’re doing Y. That’s an interesting progression! I’m working with a company who needs people with experience in X who’d rather be doing Y, because they’d like to be on Y. I also see that you’re interested in Z, and you’d be reporting to our CTO who wrote a book about Z. Want to hear more?”

I’m not looking, but I send them a nice reply and remember their names. If I were looking, that’s the kind of recruiter I’d want to talk to.
> Well, it depends on "way above human intelligence". I think what you are trying to say is you need a supersapient intellect with IQ 195.

I'd say even "normal human intelligence" would suffice for at least getting L5 to work (maybe not with perfect safety and efficiency, but working at all). But you cannot remove the need for actual "intelligence" from the equation, and that's the problem: our AIs are not "intelligent" at all. They are idiot savants, and driving a car isn't exactly a problem where you need savant-like capabilities. It is a very general, broad-range problem, which is much more applicable for the broad mental capabilities of even the not-so-smart part of humanity.

Case in point: there are human savants in areas like playing chess or Go or recognizing text in many different spoken languages, but there are no human savants in the area of driving cars on public roads.
What I would like to see is what does a model licensing agreement look like?

All we ever see is “threat of litigation by troll” “company takes stand against troll”

But we have no clue how the negotiations went? We have no clue how many are agreed upon, we have no clue how many are tolerable small revenue splits or something else

All we are left with are extreme positions that imagine every patent or litigant is an extortion racket and thats just negligent

There is room for nuance by adults
> On the other hand, because of commission, it is in the recruiter's interest to get you as much money as possible so you might get a better offer via them than you would if you went direct.

This isn't my experience at all, having worked with recruiters both as a hirer and hiree. Recruiters typically are looking to close as many positions as possible, making money on volume. Their incentives are to spend as little time as they can getting candidates just enough so they say yes.

They typically are paid a percentage of a candidates first year salary. At first glance this might seem to mean they're motivated to get you as much as possible. In reality it means that the effort to get an extra $20k, which might make a big difference for the candidate, only results in an extra e.g. $2000 for them. They're not going to spend time on that that could be spent on closing another candidate, and getting another full commission, if they think the candidate will accept either way.

The money a recruiter is paid also often comes from the same budget a potential signing bonus would. The fact that they take 10% of the first year salary makes companies less forthcoming with extra money for the candidate.
It’s attitudes like this that me bull-ish about the future of self-driving cars.

Cars can be programmed to never speed, double-park, or roll through stops (I'm aghast that Tesla even tried this). Loads of drivers seem to think this kind of shit is just fine and normal, and desperately need to be taken off the road.

Self-driving car skeptics seem to think that the barrier is "being good at driving." I think the barrier is "being better at driving than most people." That's a low bar.
Your mother probably didn't teach the recruiters to call you up without invitation to interrupt your day either.
I'm skimming this rightn now, but a quick question: do they take into consideration the space required by wind and solar farms?

Also, three hours of storage for a continental grid? Nice dream.
After generations of leadership change, can a company have the same values and vision of the previous leadership? I suppose on paper it's still BlackBerry. But selling patents of a company that was a leader in revolutionising the mobile sector to patent trolls only mean the trolls mean to aim higher in terms of litigation
Me too... was just showing off :)
I don't know what I've done to be so blessed as to not receive any blockchain recruiter spam.

Everyone thinks I do Ruby on Rails though, because someone accidentally endorsed me for it once years ago. Somehow 50+% of the stuff I get is RoR.
From what I have seen, which is admittedly limited, textbooks tend to push additional services from the publisher but very little is lost if you don't use those services. Then again, the books I have seen are older (even though I may be reading a recent edition).

Anything directed towards more casual learners, I would have a hard time commenting on since it tends to be more the history of science rather than being technical in nature (where references tend towards primary sources anyway), or embedded development (which seems to suffer from a similar mentality as software and web development since it has a software bias).
I think the coolest part for me is that now I know duck.com redirects to DuckDuckGo.
> But what’s your evidence for “NYT is into seeking rent”?

Aside from the eyeballs, please tell me what value is there in the wordle property to justify buying it for millions of dollars?

If the game itself was using interesting closed technology or had any other kind of intellectual property attached to it, then maybe it could be justified. But nobody spends that amount of money if they are not looking for ways to make it back manifold.
Can you describe the ruleset that would apply when it’s ok to speed? So that’s applicable to the software of thousands of cars?
These numbers do not mean anything. Our mind can naturally process small numbers (units, then "it is a small group", then "it is a big group").

One million, when not attached to something tangible, cannot be processed. A house is one million euros - that I can get. What is one million protons side to side - I have no idea.

Of course, I can calculate that 10^6x10^-15 m is 10^-9 m. Right..

Same goes for scale. If I say - twice the width of a tree you immediately get an idea. Twide the width of a hair - not much. A million times the width of a hair - neither.

So 10^9x10^12x10^3 m = 10^24m, looks it is a lot.
> Real tech people

Ah this fun gatekeeping meme rears it's head again.

So how do you define "tech" people? Do you have a scorecard?

How do they meet your assessment for "real"? Cohesive organization of atomic matter generally constitutes "real" in a lot of physics definitions.

I'd argue trying to label someone a "real tech person" is a laughably subjective exercise that's so corrupted by personal bias and toxicity as to be utterly useless in evaluating someone's capability to participate in organized software engineering.

Case in point: I have worked with several folks, in FAANG, who by all technical standards were "real" tech people. Polyglot programmers, could tackle any sticky logic problem.

Ask them to communicate their solution to other engineers? To communicate with others with empathy? Be able to navigate conversations with directors and VPs about broadly implementing their solutions? Absolutely, 100% fell on their face. Couldn't do it. They couldn't form a cohesive, understandable, actionable statement about their work to save their lives. They'd go off on some completely pointless technical tangent that had little to do with the problem at hand.

Code reviews they participated in ground to a complete fucking halt. Not because they actually addressed meaningful technical issues. No, they wanted to pontificate and show off how much smarter they were.

In my not totally hard-data experience, people that maybe didn't have quite the "real tech people" skills but were expressive, capable communicators often actually shipped more meaningful work, more often, and built organizational equity not just for themselves, but for their teammates and managers too.

Software development at any scale, like it or not, involves working with other people. In my experience people that go around gatekeeping and using some hilariously subjective ruler to grade "realness" aren't very effective at all.

https://www.ticketcrusherslaw.com/rolling-stop/

It is NOT legal to do a rolling stop in California. Like everywhere else in the nation, you must (legally speaking) come to a complete stop at sign/light. Failure to do so will result in a ticket (if you're caught).
How am I supposed to get any sense of a recruiter's skill when they reach out? Do I need to be looking at their LinkedIn profiles to see their tenure? I've dealt with maybe one or two competent recruiters out of dozens.
This was really surprising. Back when RHEL 7 launched, it really looked like MariaDB was going to take over from MySQL. It doesn't look that way anymore. I suspect the reason is that Maria diverged too much, and people didn't want the risk of using something that they couldn't migrate away from.

Regardless, where possible, I use non-relational. When relational is required, I use Postgres.
not OP, but been in NYC for over 5 years and there's no shortage of interesting opportunities in tech

> Recruiting farms like Cyber Recruiters (yuck) will do everything in their power to waste your time out of sheer incompetence and disinterest.

Cyber Coders, I think that is the actual name, is pretty bad. They use a lot of automation to build funnels and send out messages automatically. There are several thousand other recruiting firms that do the same thing with more or less technology.

That being said their goal isnt to waste your time. They are just playing a numbers game. They are trying to hit the postgre DBA who just got told their contract is ending with an email about a postgre DBA contract that starts ASAP. If you are that person and you get that email you might have good results.

I think people get angry when recruiters don't personalize messages or make sure that they are actually qualified for a job or that they actually are helpful during the interview process. But they sold for 105 million in 2013. Their model works despite having one of the worst reputations in the business. They generate a shit load of revenue by spamming massive amounts of people and getting enough emails to the right person at the right time.

If you view third party recruiters as someone who is going to be your job agent and work for you, you're going to have a bad time. If you think of them as street vendors who are slinging wares of questionable quality and price and who offering no refund no return one supply items... You might have a better experience and save yourself a lot of grief.

TLDR: Recruiting companies print money by getting the right email to the right person at the right time. They don't work for you. Don't expect their service to be tailered for you.

Solar panels are less efficient when they get warm.
There are a number of issues:
1) Short term, the faster we avoid CO2 the better. If SLAs make that more complex, then it is a net loss. Long term, the situation will be different because cheap gains will be gone.

2) Europe has mostly privatized energy. Who is suppose to set the SLA?

3) Nuclear plants need to be refueled. Does the SLA include a couple of months downtime every few years? That would suggest that the SLA is uniquely tailored to nuclear. 100% uptime? How is nuclear going to deal with that?

4) Power consumption varies over the day. A constant load again favors nuclear. A load that can handle daily and seasonal variation would be quite bad for nuclear.

Basically what we need is flexible electricity production. On their own, nuclear, solar and wind are all equally bad at flexible electricity production. So the questions are:
- how do we get cheap storage
- how do we minimize the amount of storage we need

See, that's exactly why we need a right to free speech. The government doesn't like it. The next government won't, either. So we need the principle that the government cannot stop speech, and we need people to rigorously police that right, because the government will always try to encroach on it.
Wow. I've spent a lifetime vaguely hating MySQL because I'm bothered by computer software that projects first-person pronouns onto users (Microsoft Windows "My Computer" — um, no, Windows, you're not me, if you're addressing me, it's "Your Computer").

I'm going to be spending a long while contemplating this. My. That's so sweet.
