Can someone provide a little more context on this contamination theory of obesity? Does it actually hold up? I'm reading an article linked and it seems convincing enough, but I don't have the time and expertise to accurately assess that right now.

Really enjoyed this. Was super confusing at first, but eventually caught on. Nice concept!

The way this question is worded makes it seem like it's so easy to go into agriculture / homesteading...there is a wealth of knowledge you have to have to have to do it right, it's not just buying land, plants and watering them. And more often than not, that knowledge is not readily available online, and comes with time and immersion.

The downside is that you're normally a small fish in a big pond as opposed to a big fish in a small pond somewhere else. The perks seem like the pay, the scale at which you work generally, and the quality of your coworkers is higher than normal.

If you like hacking on features, not having to do robust A/B testing or walk through tons of leadership / management hoops, and having a wider role in the development of something, then a smaller company or startup would be better.

TLDR: as with any thing in life, it depends on the person, and what makes you happy at work.

Yeah, but do you know of any creators that would be recommended based on my criteria? I'm not really watching for entertainment quality.

Uh, well I just started working a few months back...but I can say I haven't noticed this at all.

This particular passage stuck out to me:

"Bring your whole self to work" was the Big Tech mantra. Tell people about your cool hobbies, share your politics (if you're far left only), share your sex life."

I can't see this happening at any true big tech company, maybe at a startup or something. The writer seems a bit disgruntled to me.

I've been using BunnyCDN - it's been pretty cheap (<$5 month for 250GBs of data transfer).

Reflective for the people posting about it on Blind...they're usually at a top tier software engineering company. As a whole, I would imagine the salaries are a lot less than the TC you see represented on Blind. The workplace is also a lot less intense.

FWIW - I've only ever worked in big tech outside of an internship in college at a slow F500 so small disclaimer.

Yes...but the bar to entry here is also a major factor. Doctors and lawyers in part have already been vetted by lots of crap before even qualifying for an interview.

How much of the content on the MCAT is "useful" for a doctor's daily work? I would argue that the majority of it is moot. In the same vein, the LSAT has a lot of "useless" logic puzzles that aren't applicable to their daily work as a lawyer. Fact of the matter is, we're lucky in tech to have this system that ANYONE can study for "useless" shit, doesn't matter your background, what college you went to, etc. If you get the interview and nail it, you're in.

Guerrilla "marketing" - try to phish people with fake domains and create the market for your product.

...that would be pretty unethical though.

I would think that real world programming careers are affected by someone's ability to remember information and put in effort, and that's demonstrated by the time spent to study for the little tricks and algorithms that go into passing an interview. I think it makes things a lot less subjective - you put in the time, you win.

I think it should be available without signing up first, at least for a quick demo. I really dislike signing up for anything when I don't even know what the features are, that I'm signing up for.

Not going to lie, I actually like Leetcode style interviews. What you put in is what you get - you know how to control your own outcomes, and that's by putting in the time and work to study for the questions.

Awesome! Really appreciate this.
