Live in Salt Lake City now. Blowing red lights is like a sport here it seems.

Apparently chat around the water cooler was the real source of all of their innovation. It’s worth $600 an hour.

This is why I knew how to be a frontend engineer at one point in life but never pursued it past the early 2000s.

The brainpower wasted on web layout is immense.

The ads on that site made me give up on the article.

> Speaking from my perspective as a prolific FAANG interviewer

That's interesting, and somewhat rankling - as both times I interviewed at the G in FAANG, not a single interviewer gave a nickel about any of my experience, or projects I had worked on.

It's such a joke that the keys to a golden line on your resume and a giant salary are gated by the luck of which 7 people get picked to grill you that day, how busy they currently are, and what their pet question is.

> The building was purchased, "refurbished" and the rent was reset to a very high number.

And if someone was willing to pay that number, then that's what the place was worth.

If their opinion of you is dependent upon that, that fact just might be worth its weight in gold.

This would be too heavily influenced by confounding factors.

For instance:

* Are the teams that use certain languages comprised of more experienced people?

* How mature is the company and project? I.e., a faster moving startup cutting more corners, where time was decided to be of the essence (rightly or wrongly) will likely produce more on call incidents than a slower, more established company that can takes its time

Additionally, the vast majority of startups I've worked for, and am aware of, will not file the paperwork to let you 83b. AND, if you bring it up, they will probably tell you politely they're not going to bring up your request to the board and go through all that hassle just to hire you.

This service was a godsend when I lived there, due to how abysmal Muni was. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for them.

Not with those income levels that get everyone talking.

... if you want to live in the Bay.

Emergency situations. "Sir, we found your wallet...", etc., etc.

Why is this a generational thing?
