Oncall being in the job description just doesn’t rationalize the abuse and insanity Ive seen myself and my team go through.

I don’t think a bullet in a job description and expected baseline pay for a tech job is reasonable enough to accept that either.

Oncall is complete bullshit and the fact that we have standardised this without Additional pay has greatly affected my life working in big tech.

I interned there one summer and I felt like 9 years ago when I was there the company died 30 years prior. It’s a super weird place to work

This survey is from a resume site of 1000 people roughly. A resume site is obviously going to target a majority of people in the job hunt. Additionally it was done in May around graduation time.

They are also probably collecting DNS records from millions of customers too or inspecting SNI on TLS handshakes to know what sites each customer is visiting.

ECH and DOH people!

Not worth. Competitors like Bunny CDN which is much smaller will inevitably have a much worse incident as they grow. Every large company will inevitably have a couple bad incidents so asking “what other large company will never have incidents” is a moronic perspective IMO

+1 for Go after a sabbatical. Its a treat

I’m into cardio related fitness things, but hoping to avoid associating drinking with friendship too much.

When I’ve gotten deep into a topic I’ve actually almost ALWAYS learned that textbooks are the best way to learn things.

The internet is full of information. Sometimes it’s too much, unstructured or tangential to the goal at hand. Textbooks, in my experience, are truly written by the experts. It’s been vetted, rigorously reviewed and fact checked. It’s not inspired by influencers or clickbait.

Obviously YMMV, but when you find a top recommended textbook, it’s usually miles beyond a YouTube video or medium blog for deeper level content. It usually flows better and makes more sense as you study consistently.

Can you give an example? I think my current problem is that I can’t formulate a goal that I deep down find motivating enough to attain. Maybe that’s depression, but I’m not sure.

I get that it’s pretty subjective, but I am just curious how people think.
