Counterpoint, I read "The Manager's Path" and I found it to be a pretty redundant overview of the management path for someone in an org that has a well defined management structure/path and that started out as an IC and is now in an M1 role. ie, I had plenty of time to observe as an IC and then when I was ready for the switch I had a good understanding of what good management looks like, expectations were set and a solid group of mentors in my management chain.

To me it's a good book if:

- You are an IC in a "flat" organization/startup that wants to learn how the management path works at large companies - You are now a manager that did not develop in an environment with a well defined management path. You are winging it and want to implement best practices.

Yes, they do provide a basis. In this case the basis was weak and lazy, though that is the style of work I've come to expect from working with this person.

I'm not sure if this will be seen but I'm very curious to hear from Indian folk:

I am the hiring manager at a well known software company that employs a lot of Indians on H1B visas. A while back I brought in an Indian person for a full round interview. This person happen to have pretty dark skin. On the interview team was a light skinned Indian person with a very Brahmin last name that I'd say is pretty average technically and wasn't my first choice to be on the interview team. The unbiased interview feedback sent to me was 5 yes to hire and the only no to hire (and strong at that) was the Indian interviewer...

A few days later I read about this caste situation at Cisco and I had to wonder...

Any recommendations on how I can avoid having this uncertainty if discrimination was at play? Seems like a pretty hard thing to prove.

Which k8s version will use this version by default? Has it been tested with any current versions?

Executives live in a global economy. The rest of us might "operate" in one but we don't get to take advantage of that privilege the way the wealthy do. You are right, world wide poverty is on the decline. But given the choice between:

- better for 1 billion people

- worse for 2 billion people

- really outstandingly fantastic for 200 people

and

- really good for 5 billion people

- worse for 200 people

I know which way I'd lean in that spectrum.

What are the rules around distributing OpenJDK as part of a commercial software/hardware product?

Has it ever inverted but then a near term recession never followed?

On his way out? I despise Trump and everything he stands for. Polls show his numbers only improving with every new controversy he starts. And he still has a lot of levers to pull leading up to the election that will hurt his opponents and expand his base.

I'm curious what severe rate limiting looks like. I have a Sprint unlimited plan and I routinely use about 20-30GB of data/mo and I don't think I've ever been throttled, and if I have I haven't noticed it.

I just watched the video and the presenter makes it clear that Google picked Swift ultimately and eliminated Julia from evaluation in previous knockout rounds.

I don't use either and to be honest was surprised that their original set of languages evaluated was C++, Rust, Julia and Swift. Seems like an odd list of languages to start with when discussing ML.

Incoming screed in libertarianese about why unions are bad by Paul Graham on twitter in 5..4..3..2..

This isn't that surprising for someone that has a lot of experience in something like project management or academia and/or is very good at negotiating.

For instance the place I work just hired as a senior engineer a former math professor with a math PhD that hasn't written a line of production code in their life. If this person decided to go through a 9 month bootcamp before applying the outcome would have been the same.

For people with their sights set on a FAANG type company, do you have a "grind leetcode" track?

One scenario like this played out after the mortgage crisis in 2008. Many banks now owned homes where the mortgage amount was greater than the market value, ie underwater. There was a ton of bank owned inventory for a long time because a) They are banks, not real estate companies with all of the expertise in marketing and transacting single family homes in bulk b) the market for homes significantly shrunk in the years after 2008.

In hot markets sure, maybe a bank might see a default and repossession as a good thing, but I doubt they are optimizing for those scenarios.
