Are programmers and their use of data structures driving up storage requirements in games though? Or is it just high poly models and high res textures?

I think it's more about how the products that impact our lives might change and what might flow down to us becasue of that.

> since they were "intelligent" enough to pass the Meta interviews.

I haven't interviewed with them in almost 10 years. But aren't they doing the same interview everyone else does?

This was the my impression. I don't think laptops and desktops are that popular outside business use anymore?

This thread is why job searching sucks. Every one making hiring decisions has conflicting advice and requirements.

I've unfortunately been doing alot of interviews. Leet code is common. Or "practical" which seems to more or less mean implement some kind of kv store class with some trick constraint.

What's the alternative to the us and silicon Valley? Companies were trying to make Austin happen and that was a failure. Now one talks about that anymore.

In a substantially different way then how it is now? You can put something listening on 22, 80 and 443 and log how much stuff tries to get in.

You can have before and after data and track trends. How did you know the issues was wide spread in the first place. You must have some proof somewhere.

The impact is how many outages overall. If you only prevent one outage then maybe it's not that meaningful.

Your last paragraph, your right that happens in the short term. In the long term those teams get reputations for being a shit show, there will be high turnover, good engineers won't transfer in, people's compentaencies start to get questioned, other teams will avoid working with that team and develop their own solutions, and higher up people will start to look at what's going on.

The topic is about person to person communication when collaborating. Advertising isn't relevant at all

Not totally true. You can measure page amounts per team or how heavy oncall is.

Oh, I'm on the job market, unemployed and probably wont apply becasue of the contract. That's probably your reason for not getting the quality of candidate you're hoping for. that hourly range goes pretty low and doesn't give confidence that a potential employee won't get low balled

The person running the Ai needs to know to set up linting in the first place and have it be applied. It's not a default.

Ive had ai make code that doesn't pass a linter and make code look like hand aligned code.

Ime with sports and injuries. Doctors say alot of things, unless they are sports doctors that work with you to get back to sports or athletic them selves, they just give useless generic advice.

I lost a year becasue of doctors just telling me to rest for a constant pain I had.

Author should just go learn to snowboard. There's athletes out there competing with torn acls.
