This is my issue too!

Hey! What does the freelance QA role look like?

Don’t have a phone but want to write code interfacing with a paid LLM? How often does that happen?

Which is owned by a hedge fund, and thankfully not part of this deal (so it's not at risk!)

I believe we will keep the port there with the US?

$2000 is an absurdly small bounty here - you should up that

Nice work! Is there any risk that an evaluation and tweaking cycle accidentally changes the original test requirements over time?

220m users. Let’s imagine 50m are streaming concurrently. That’s 100TB an hour in logs lol. They could be storing an entire petabyte of logs a day. My friend did some data center stuff for the large hadron collider and wasn’t hitting these data ingestion states, and these are just to record me binging the office.

Responses like this from C-levels in crypto make me glad I moved from the space after 4 years. Everyone is so egotistical. Blaming it on mental patterns of the employees without accepting it could be some really shitty management from your colleagues instead is toxic. Have a good hard look at the people named in this petition.

FWIW when I was doing some banking courses, as I was working in DeFi and wanted to know more about CeFi, they have synthetic assets too. Which are derivatives. In fact in the Big Short movie I'm 100% they call derivates synthetics!

Can you share the order of magnitude we're talking about here?

What nonsense. How many business owners in the US immigrated with basically zero and made > $1m? How many startup founders have come from disadvantaged backgrounds and exited/got acquired? How many first-gen college grads got into good schools and ended up firmly in the upper-middle class (US based, that is?). It's far easier to 1000x when you have little than when you have a good amount. Just look at the number of millionaires compared to billionaires.

Is it gatekeeping? They hire so many junior devs, do you not think it’d be possible to strip the team down by hiring far more capable engineers? Would Google crumble if they only hired senior devs like Netflix? I’m convinced they hire so many purely because they have the money and managers want bigger teams to go up the managerial track.

Video game devs aren’t paid ‘very poorly’, they’re still comfortably above a countries median, they’re just lower than roles requiring a similar skill. My friend is a game dev at Epic and loves it, FWIW. He doesn’t give a shit about money if he can pay his mortgage, cover his wife and child, splash on toys, and save a bit.

I've worked with Haskell professionally. It was... interesting. I'd rather be in shape than deal with Stack/Cabal/Nix again. If anyone reading this is wondering if they should learn Haskell - wonder if your time could be better spent having a fun and active life instead lol.
