> have to fiddle aroudn to start payment app

This isn't really a thing with Apple Pay. You double tap the power button as you grab your phone, then Apple Pay is active (pending face id or unlock via watch), it's a very smooth process.

On top of that, in my experience, tap to pay (via card or phone) is much quicker to process than swiping or inserting chip.

Vital is one of the best free software synths out there. In terms of functionality, it competes with a whole lot of paid synths out there. For anyone getting started with making music or synthesis, this is 100% the recommendation I give.

I like this one quite a bit. I find Wordle fun, but a bit plain sometimes. Quordle really makes me think out of the box to optimize across the grids.

side note: I've gotten most of them, but today's ruined my streak.

I just wrapped up the interview process and got a job offer at >150k with 4 years of experience. I interviewed with probably 10 or so companies along the way.

I do not believe that "grinding leetcode" is at all necessary. However, familiarizing yourself with online "IDEs" and the skill of solving (relatively simple) problems quickly while communicating your thought process is necessary.

That being said, I would do a handful of Leetcode-type questions on your own time. Don't aim to solve as many as possible or even bother to hit the hardest questions. Most questions I received were actually pretty simple algorithms that any dev could handle. IMO it's more important to be comfortable in the environment, and be able to communicate well to your interviewer if it's live than to be able to come up with perfect solution instantly.

The better companies I interviewed with made the live coding portion a small component early on, basically as a screen for basic coding skill. After that, the most important parts were design, discussions on previous projects, and behavioral interviews.

Today is my last day at my current job. I had a colleague leave last year after he had some issues with his team, and I learned that a significant salary bump was pretty easy to get. I was _really_ bored at my role, and didn't see a strong future for our project and company, so I started looking.

I'll be starting a new job at the end of the month. Salary is over 2x my current pay, and if you include equity the total compensation will be 3.5x my current pay. I will have to relocate (which I wanted to do anyway), but I can't fathom why anyone _wouldn't_ be looking right now given the state of the job market.

I work in a "traditional company" and the gatekeepers were installed to keep developers from going insane. When we have too much information back and forth between business and engineering, the loudest complaints from the business side (where the $$$ comes from today and tomorrow) drowns out the team's and department's internal goals, which are usually much longer term (meaning the $$$ is in months or years, not next week).

I believe this is why the author noticed that certain types of companies had engineers say the product owner was one of the reasons they're more satisfied. From when I started at my role, my team went about 2 years without one, and then within months of having one, we have been much more productive and have managed to create much more immediate and future value for the company.

When the most accessible form factor for a screen is portrait in orientation, it's kind of inevitable.

If you read the press release, Apple VERY heavily emphasizes "creative workflows"

It's worth noting that these funds blowing up causes large sell-offs of their other holdings, which can in turn cause prices of those assets to fall. Falling prices can cause more sell-offs, and can spiral. Nobody really knows what's going to happen as a result of this since it's pretty unprecedented. IIRC the SPX is down ~3% and VIX is up 60% today.

I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't speak on the quality of it, but Spotify is currently running a podcast series titled "The Messenger" about Bobi's efforts here. The two most recent episodes were uploaded yesterday, so the information should be relatively current.
