I love to see how this works in practice. Most jobs seem to be gated by various interviews and maybe panels. At lower levels it doesnt seem knowing someone is an advantage beyond avoiding the circular file. Smashing the interview seems key. I have seen at higher levels (higher EM levels) yeah people move as a tribe.

You can tell people the 30k ft version but you wont get the lines of code, or the smart operators needed to keep the system running for that matter. Data science, dev, ops etc.

> We provide a detailed description of our betting experience to illustrate how the sports gambling industry compensates these market inefficiencies with discriminatory practices against successful clients.

Correct. I have written that code in a past life. Some clients get rate limited. Keep their bets as a nudge to check your odds. Poor big betters (these days called whales) get taken out to dinner.

Also worked on the other side and you can avoid being shutdown by using 2 sided markets. Pools, betfair, crypto, for example.

Every team needs a one-nine (CB channel for chat/truckers)

In addition slack search becomes a great onboarding tool.

I would love to know the answer? I wonder if Prometheus and Grafana would work at this light level of compute?

Pretend you are prepping for a design interview then consume all the material necessary to learn that.

Don't worry: what you truly love is a moving target as no one stays still. No 40 year old is like themselves at 30 or 20, or will be at 50.

What hours are you doing now and (if you want to answer) why so many?

It doesnt unless there is a common cause. Out of control bushfire for example would unlikely cause a SaaS or 5G/satellite outage

While it is good to have a backup (AM radio? Morse code?) Why eschew a sophisticated system thay 99.99% of the time will be available.

Meh. He could have made 10M or 0.

Google founders themselves could have got a nice job at IBM.

Op is free as in bird too.

vdvsvwvwvwvwv — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 07:12:30 +0000

Yes this makes sense. VC has created more billionaires which isn't bad: I'd swap an Elon or a Bezos for 200 billionaires with different viewpoints.

Same with mortgages: they unfortunately push up house prices, but more ordinary people end up owning their home. They also allow capital to build new homes (modulo planning laws)
