> entire concept of time

“Entire” concept is stretching it, causality and entropy are not man made.

If you want to look at ideas people made up that have way too much influence on our lives, you need look no further than your wallet.

Not just disappeared. In fact someone literally died…

At least in 2025 they could slap it into Claude and produce a better review without engaging in…shudders *thought*.

The first snippet of code makes me nauseous and the second makes me murderous, so the former is obviously better.

That being said, these people should all be miles away from mission critical code.

What you see there is a protobuf, serialized as JSON. If a protobuf definition isn’t a schema, I don’t know what is.

Recently I was reading about blind people’s experience of Netflix having been poor (no audio descriptions) for years and years and the media never picking it up despite organized groups begging them to do so…until Daredevil was released and outrageous headlines like “blind people can’t enjoy a show about a blind superhero” became possible.

And of course, Netflix released audio descriptions post haste once the headlines hit…turns out it was trivial all along.

The moral of the story is, if you want it in the press, make it outrageous first.

Yes, but it’s the same level of garbage as “Facebook was built in a week”, where the hidden part is “after The Harvard Connection spent two years iterating on the product and got everything stolen”.

Society and people in general don’t want to hear these “sour grape” gripes. Unless they are the ones affected adversely.

> Except that 99% of engineers aren't being hired by Google nor being paid on comparable levels.

Sucks for you, then. Why are you on a thread about Google-style interviews?

That’s a skill you do need at Google if you’re going to survive. At least nowadays.
