Yes, there are degrees of hardness with competitive programming being the very tip top and FAANG interviews (googles especially) being not so far behind. Think of it like this, in competitive programming is S-tier. Faang interviews are A-tier.

The job only requires C-tier. Just know you basic DFS, BFS, recursion, heaps and all that stuff and how to look shit up when needed is C-tier.

Look, the above is just my opinion against yours, but what do the metrics say?

Googles acceptance rate is less than harvard. That's like less then 1%. There's two conclusions you can draw from that metric:

Conclusion 1: Only 1% of people who applied are able to work at google.
Conclusion 2: The google filter is extreme and filtering way beyond people who are just capable of working for google.

Google even admits this. They bias the interviews to be hard to get rid of false positives who can potentially make it through slightly easier interviews. As a result they end up creating a lot of false negatives...

That's the narrative google makes up to excuse their less than 1% acceptance rate. Makes them seem less seem less elitist. But to crank up the hardness of the interview to less than 1% for this excuse? That's a little extreme. If the acceptance rate was 20% sure... but not less than 1%. They're asking me to believe a reality where there's so many potential false positives that they have to crank up the difficulty to a 1% acceptance rate? LOL.

It's BS. But either way. Google needs to filter somehow as they can't have everyone working for them. There's not enough money or space for everyone who applies. The question is whether algorithms are the best filter? My argument is no, it is not. Rejecting the creator of brew (and on the facebook side, the creator of hadoop) for example is the kind of stupidity that comes from religiously worshipping algorithms as the one true indicator of programmer skill.

> I think we're both making some assumptions around what GP was offered, but I would agree with you that asking for $450k as a cofounder is unreasonable. But I'd say that for someone closer to middle age with a family, $200k isn't unreasonable. The idea is that you want the cofounder to focus on the company, so you remove the financial distraction.

That's basically what I said in my other comment above, right down to the same $200K number: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517360

The parent commenter responded that they don't like startups at all due to the high failure rate. Between that and the unwillingness to give up immediate compensation, I think it's likely that they just don't really want to be a startup co-founder. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not really cool to blame a startup for having expectations in line with standard startup practices (assuming they weren't offering $50K or something silly)

> discrimination masquerading as "culture fit" is just as rampant in Silicon Valley as it is in the rest of the US. This includes racism, ageism, misogyny and classism

This is why remote work is so important, the politics of the office and "culture" is more about delivery with remote over internal politics. Remote work emphasizes the external view over the internal view which is always skewed in office environments. Remote work opens up a broader market of workers and can flow with life changes of employees easier like a move, families or travel.

We all do lots of remote already to everyone outside the office. Most communication is virtual now even within the same company, across offices in different areas and most importantly, to the customer of the product. The external view is most important, always. Remote can help automatically focus on external perception over internal perception. Remote work can minimize the weight of office politics and "culture".

Another legacy area we need to change is removing health insurance from the job. We don't get our home/auto/life insurance through work and it would be a pain if we did, imagine changing all that on jobs. Contracting or entrepreneurship helps to get your own benefits for healthcare and it is truly a better way. Health insurance removed from the job will help businesses compete with countries that do have public options or private markets not connected to the employer, allow workers more freedom to change jobs, allow people to start jobs easier and isn't constantly a hassle. Getting healthcare on your own or not requiring it to be business level is both pro-business and pro-worker. It also can fix pricing as the customer is now individuals/families not employers, all we need to do is group similar to Medicare groups. Right now grouping is based on the company and this puts sole/small/medium companies at a disadvantage in pricing.
My parents are from India, im from Canada. Luckily ive never really seen any caste discrimination, but we are from a religion that specifically outlawed this hundreds of years ago (sikhism), even though it didn't exactly dissappear.

I know its something that exists though, its mind boggling that people still adhere to it. Hopefully it goes away though.

Here is an interesting interview type video on it.

Honestly the worst performing app ive ever used in my life. It makes any machine running it slow as shit.

When someone is sharing video / screen share its even worse.

I absoutely cannot fathom how it passes any form of QA.
These posts consistently make it to the front page of HN. I'm not denying that casteism exists, but since the subject draws so much attention, reporters must feel incentivized to write about it.
Orphans and widows were also important legal categories. Children without a father needed a legal guardian until they turned 18. Married women (at least under British common law) were not separate legal entities from their husbands. So each category needed a defined term. Parents who had lost children were in many cases just "parents", since families were much larger and it was probably the rare large family who had not experienced the death of a young child.
I didn't even realize Firefox discontinued PWA support... We've been using this for our B2B web apps, mostly on Edge and Safari (iOS) clients to really good effect.

We used the Starbucks PWA as our guide/test case:

https://app.starbucks.com

You'd think Apple's platform would be a huge PITA around this, but as of latest iOS version it actually gives us everything we need. We will be 100% free from the app stores and enterprise bullshit programs once we migrate our customers. Seems the anti-trust heat might be having some positive effects.

Overall, webapps are still king for the kind of business we do. Our users love the flexibility of multi-tab/monitor layouts when working with complex scenarios or concurrent items. Being able to ctrl+click a link is magical when trying to navigate the messier rabbit holes.

The PWA just makes the webapp even easier to use or deploy in a lot of settings. You can take my shiny PWA toys away all day and we will still figure out a way to make this work. Even a mildly inconvenient application startup procedure (i.e. Tap Safari -> visit this favorited URL vs 1-tap home screen icon) is worth the insane tradeoffs we get in flexibility & stability throughout. I'd be happy to get on a zoom training session titled "how to start the app" with our end users for 1 hour per month if it meant I could avoid having to hire iOS developers or deal with a native application ecosystem ever again.
It doesn't sound like they did. They asked about family background, which often is a way to say "tell me about where you come from?"

The telling part is the kids assuming the most important part of their background is religion, region, and caste.
> If Russia isn’t Russia anymore, if a large part (or, worse, all) of it gets westernized, if the Russian culture seemingly erodes

What do you mean? You should have seen the surge of the Ukrainian culture in Ukraine after it westernized. After all, it's not the west that suppresses cultures in the region. If anything, it is the Russian regime.
Now, see, that worries me right there. Because its just something a code-review obstructionist would say. They probably wrote the guidlines too.

It doesn't matter how you do those simple things. Almost always. If a case arrises where it does matter and somebody uses the wrong one, then by all means bring it up. Otherwise, hit Approve and move on.

So, you’re a note squirrel. So am I. I’ve stopped caring or stressing out about it. I just accept that I’m never going to be overly organized or systematic.

I do keep all of my notes in a /notes folder or sub folder so that fuzzy find works nicely. That’s the extent of my organization.
Developers dont make those choices.
Why is there no event explore/listing site just for virtual events?
Logically this makes sense. In reality, its not what I have seen in my career. I cant recall ever discovering that meetings about high level objectives were taking place where everyone but one group was excluded, where that group was german, italian, french or any group other than Indian. I've just seen it too many times at too many companies.
It's laughable to me that with everything you could possibly do in the human universe as a billionaire (or even a run-of-the-mill-person), he's out here wanting to sell virtual clothes to people :facepalm:

> It is not inevitable that America leads forever.

I agree. At the same time, it seems fairly fundamental to me that people in a free functioning democratic society will always be more productive and able to outcompete those suffering under a dictatorship.
Compensation has very specific meaning, though.

In a startup, compensation packages for executives (especially the CEO) will be approved by the board, which probably includes lead investors.

If the CEO is negotiating a specific compensation but then doing anything to pay themselves outside of the compensation channels, it's nearly impossible to do this in a way that isn't somewhat dishonest or misleading.

Unless, of course, they go to the board and negotiate a bonus for themselves through normal compensation channels.

But no, literally just paying yourself company money because you decided you were underpaid in the past is a huge no-no, no matter how justified you feel as CEO. Executive compensation always always always goes through the board.

The claim is that Toyota is much more reliable.

Yes, they are very fragile, especially if you use them as the "ultimate driving machine" or are expecting "Being Ahead through Technology", if you drive your kids to soccer and follow the maintenance religiously they should last until your lease is up, or you exceed the mileage limit on your lease.

>What about the overhead of syncing your code to the server every time you make a change, and getting the binaries back to test? What if the network connection is bad?

A bad network connection is severely disruptive to almost all dev workflows so it's not a unique reason against remote development. The other factors you raise are not really relevant. The "overhead" of syncing code should be invisible with modern dev tools, and binaries should be built remotely anyway. I.e. the laptop should basically used as a thin client + web browser.

>What if you want to work from outside the office?

This is an argument in favor of remote development. When everything is on the cloud, it doesn't matter whether you are in the office, at home, or travelling.

All Russian developers at my company just got fired
I like it, it was fun to see the plain version at the end too.

Outliving formats is an interesting angle. I'm sure some of us know people who still use proprietary formats and software from the 1990s or earlier. They keep backups, but they keep using what worked for them.

Some years back I wrote a modernizing-controller for a Dreamweaver site behind a traditional craftsman's business that is doing pretty well, especially with the help of the web. The modernizations I needed to plan for were so many that they had to think long and hard about years remaining until retirement. The scope changes I received were super awkward because I could feel their frustration with new ways of doing things. It was strange to see things like the .dwt Dreamweaver formats still in use. They also used other proprietary software & formats.

But I do find it hard to imagine that text files (in the sense of the article) would have run the site at any point. Text files do take a bit of a stoic philosophy to really grok at some level IMO, and this has been true since maybe the '70s? The thing about text is, first of all the information is the expression framework. This is backwards for a lot of psychologies out there. The emotional components show up as decoration. Font color schemes, etc.

The article also mentions mind mapping and other tools. Those can be really important as a way to express what is inside the mind as a completely different type of process. Mind maps in particular address a problem of categorical expression, in a breadth-first context. This makes the visual itself a very useful format-as-framework. I find that I use them just enough (I have my own variant) that I keep a semi-yearly Freeplane file at hand even though I mostly use text.

Anyhoo. :-) Lots of good points in there. Thanks for sharing the article.

Ok, so we have decades of US company policies trying (to less or more effect) to combat the black/white discrimination - quotas, tribunals, edication, Hollywood movies etc.

What, besides Bollywood, should a US (tech) company do? Remove the surname field on the internal company address book? Prevent Indian nationals hiring / interviewing /managing other Indian nationals?

I do ask seriously - my utterly uninformed instinct says that we are close to the equivalent of 1950s US - southern blacks left the USA to fight and came back with tales of drinking warm beer in British pubs and people being amazed by their accents not their skin colour. India is seeing a second generation leaving to work in global markets and there will be an effect.

So - how do we get on the right side of history?
