It’s really hard to find competent engineers
it's really fucking hard to find competent engineers.
i've interviewed about 20 cs majors who claim to be experts at typescript and only 3 of them have been able to explain what the purpose of useState is (not trolling).
Community note
useState is a hook in React, which is only a specific Javascript framework among many others. Not all TypeScript developers necessarily have React experience.

My theory here is that it has to do with the Supreme Court being reduced to one individual, and that person becoming the president or the president appointing themself to the sole position.
They could take any executive action and rule it as constitutional.
There is a provision that a current president cannot be in either house of Congress but no such provision against the Pres not being a justice.

No way 💀. Hopefully Roy gets better candidates with this range. Cluely makes a lot sense to me as a product

You know they mostly don’t use evaporative cooling …. Right. They use a closed loop and use water as a mechanism to transfer heat. It’s pushed out to a heat exchanger and looped back in cooled, to collect more heat….

You actually forgot about probably the largest tax side cause of this which is Section 174 requiring a 5 year amortization period for tech employee salaries.

This is such a bad take.
Intel has been circling the drain for ages. They haven’t paid their talent well in almost 2 decades. They haven’t brain drain to Apple, amd and nvidia.
Missed on mobile/tablets. Missed on gpus (like 4 different times)
They got lazy keeping up with process advancement and then tried a risky bet to jump ahead. It failed. They now have a reputation in the industry as slow and ineffective. They can’t even attract the right talent to turn things around.
If anything, I’d argue Intel knows the least about the future of computing than any other chip mfg.

It’s a legal term for a corporate officer. You HAVE to name someone as CEO with certain types of businesses.

Roy’s the one complaining about candidate quality though. Cracked people have plenty of options, I think he was budgeting too little for what he’s looking for.

Vampires can’t get compounding interest, because banks are only open in the day, meaning that they can only hold physical cash.

Biggest one seems that this assumes parents who don’t vaccinate seek intervention for other issues at the same rate as parents who vaccinate

I think people believe that if you pay for health insurance you should be able to actually use it, and not be denied through some extremely opaque process where the company deems things “not medically necessary” that your doctors deem medically necessary.

It’s a pretense to open the land to other development (strip mining. Oil drilling, ranching, etc)

This is 100% not a movement to build homes. This is a movement to sell this land off to private enterprise and let them strip it of resources. Once the American people give this land up, we won’t be getting it back. Terrible idea.

I’m hoping you can get it resolved, but you shouldn’t even need to have to make a viral post and tag the CEO. what if you have no followers? How do everyday people without an online following get help? It’s insanity.

This rule was actually put in place largely because of amazon, interestingly enough. They would famously just spend more on r and d whenever profits increased and avoid paying taxes (which is smart, and the system working, imo) so this rule was created.

I don’t know that I’d call myself “extremely senior” but my biggest pet peeves re: meetings is when people book them with a 30 min gap after/before my other meetings. Not long enough to not work on anything but not long enough to get deep into something. A few years back I realized I can just suggest a new time in most cases and the other person is fine with it.

If you wanna become an expert you’ll probably read the docs, not watch a 20 hour video course.

Do you grow your own wheat and grind it into flour to make bread? Lmao. Go to a convenience store and pay a bit more for the … convenience? People make trade offs like this all the time in life.

Ai wrapper in the accessibility layer similar to how he made interview coder would actually be super useful for sales calls, presentations, etc imo. I think it captured the essence of “ai on your machine” that Microsoft’s desktop copilot failed to realize.

The political right ( the politicians and think tanks) have been open and honest for decades that part of their official policy is to privatize public lands.
