I’m in the same boat. I’ve never directly applied to the 3 jobs (including a FAANG) that I’ve taken in Silicon Valley. One found me on angel list and the others LinkedIn or direct email. Similar to you, the places I did apply to would never respond, even with referrals in some cases.

It looks like someone from the company reached out in the comments section:

> I just saw your post this morning. I'd like to help resolve this as quickly as possible, if I can. I'm not exactly sure what happened in your case. This doesn't sounds fair or right, and isn't a TeamViewer business practice.

Not sure where it went from there though

edit: there’s a second page of comments where the issue appeared to be resolved but many others reported the same issue and were ignored

Oof! Does anyone recommend any tools for protecting against this sort of stuff? I feel like a VPN wouldn’t even be enough here since the MAC address is coming through the headers.

Edit: typo

> Today's JavaScript developer is acting like they have a 100 GHz CPU with terabytes of memory. And being lazy and uninspired as a result.

Not sure how I feel about a statement this broad. I work mostly with front end code and I try neat things and tricks to reduce resource use all the time. I also always push for the lightest way of doing things in PRs. I’m certain I’m not the only engineer who thinks like this.

I went in for an interview recently for the react core team and the guy who interviewed me said Facebook was trying to edge away from open source. He mentioned it’s not worth it to them as much as it was before. Too much to maintain.

Comments written like this are why I left reddit.

This would be nice for slack, except if you’re mentioned you’ll still get a notification.

I can understand the frustration with Slack but the comment about large companies using it doesn’t have much ground. I’m at a 3000+ employee company and slack works great for us. I think that one thing that has helped many people is to remember that you never have to reply immediately. Also, if you’re a stakeholder on something, then a final decision should not be made without your input. I’m sure that if you limit yourself to checking slack as much as you check your email, then it won’t be such an issue.

It would be amazing to see something like this on the switch. Play any game portably? I’m in.

What about engineering managers? I’m betting the average tops both PMs and SWEs.

I have some friends who were new grads and put on the security team. My first thought was, why put new grads on the security team? Do they really have the experience to protect this sort of data?

I might be misreading/misinterpreting..what was the reason for the closure? The article mentions it was financial but it didn’t seem absolute.
