I found the blogs written by Jay Alammar to be much more informative and complete. It appears that companies are rehashing and compressing the same content to advertise their products.

May be I'm old, but I love long form content and twitter took that away. People write long tweet threads instead of thinking things through and writing it in long form. This gives rise to tons of twitter thread collapsing tools/startups that push the concatenation of these tweets to Notion or whatever. This seems utterly silly to me. It almost looks like tech for the sake of tech. It's unfortunate that substack is going in the same direction. Are there no better problems to solve using tech?

That doesn’t make him a good, responsible CEO.

And they pay well like FAANG? Examples?

I don't know if you work in FAANG or no, but most FAANG interviews just don't work this way. So, as much as I like this style, it's just 1 company and definitely not the norm. The rest of us are stuck with design Uber, Whatsapp, crap...

Seriously, in this day and age, why are we still stuck with C? There are battle tested container libraries in C++ for e.g.

I don't think it attempts to. There are always more than one way to learn the same thing.

How credible is this news source?

Hahha. Sure.

There were a lot of other good things going that masked these. The recent "PR botch ups" are creating more damage. The most famous e.g. is reacting to ChatGPT's hype and rushing to do a demo and then messing it up. It wasn't so much messing up the demo that caught they eye; it was how Google rushed/reacted to do it esp. when Google is considered to be at the forefront of AI. Again, optics. Besides Sundar hasn't come out with anything impressive in the last few years. It's ok to just keep the lights on, but at least don't create bad optics.

Internally Google might be just fine, but optics are equally important in this industry. Before Sundar took over Google never went through bad PR. It's just an observation, not a dig at Google's affairs.
