once you reach the stage, the only escape is to give up on it. and move on.

somethings are beyond your control and capabilities

Hi, I hope you are doing good. From my personal experience, complaining about your manager to skip level manager is called Career Suicide.

There is nothing good that can come out of it,, except getting fired.

Most likely, the author was let go in mass layoff, and they forgot about NDA.

The part about prioritizing "aggressive feature velocity" over "core fundamentals" is true.

The push is as insane as push to AI.

At the same time fundamental improvements like migrating to .net core, or reducing logs is actively deprioritised. If it were not for compliance, we would not have any core engineering improvement at all

Honestly, I was not even aware of rust push, probably cause no one in my org could do rust. I am glad we did not move to AKS though

> This creates a secondary deception layer. After infection, running npm list in the project directory will report plain-crypto-js@4.2.0 — because npm list reads the version field from the installed package.json, which now says 4.2.0. An incident responder checking installed packages would see a version number that does not match the malicious 4.2.1 version they were told to look for, potentially leading them to conclude the system was not compromised.

WTF!!!! gaslighting your victims into believing they are not victims. the ingenuity of this is truly mindblowing. I am shocked at such thing is even allowed. like packages should not be able to modify their contents while they are being instaleld.

Vercel owns nuxt and sveltekit, so they do benefit. only nextjs suffers from not being on vite.

vite+ is a cli tool and open source, which is built on top of vite.

void is a deployment platform and sdk which is built on top of cloudflare and vite. void will be paid offerring

look at plugin api limiation here:

https://esbuild.github.io/plugins/#svelte-plugin

esbuild's plugin support is limited which is why vite had to use rollup for prod build.

it is not. lack of plugin support is sufficient to block adoptions among other things.

most likely they are not running the prod build on latest mac. so it is slower.

Really the enterprise partner supports next, but not vanilla js sounds stupid? Honestly I expect them to prioritize nextjs and react given the popularity, but still be open to vanilla js.

I checked sitecore cloud to have special integration for nextjs and reactjs. But it also support vanilla js as well.

Are there really anyone who is exclusive to nextjs?

Vite 8.0 is out!

I am assuming that all interviews are not AI, and it is only initial filter. if not, then i will filter the company out!!

"disrespect" is doing quite a heavy lifting here. if the company is honest and upfront about it, why do you consider it any different from automated coding test or the implicit Resume scanner?

Ultimately, a company has to filter job applications and find the right fit. and I consider a number of things companies actually do to be very disrespectful and demeaning. for eg: getting interviewed by clueless HR who have zero techinical expertise, not sharing salary range in advance, asking leetcode hard questions, forcing AI bullshit etc

With that framing, i consider AI interview to be less disrespectful and something i am ok with.

I think this is a bit unreasonable. there are a lot of people applying to every job post. if a company can use AI to better filter the candidates, then it is an improvement.

there is issue only if AI is encoded with human bias, but treated as neutral and impartial judge

if someone responded with a lot of PR comments, I would set up a meeting directly and avoid unnecessary discussion on PR.
