Interesting product and projects, amazing work life balance, generally good people
Uninspiring leadership, terrible middle management, massive bureaucracy considering company size, CEO is completely unqualified and demotivating, awful product prioritization, rampant technical debt, and no real decision making capability by ICs or line managers. Things used to be better, but culture and company has been on a steady decline.
What do we do now?
u/spez has joined the protest! We did it reddit 1!1!1! Or is any reddit employee secretly breaking the server as a protest?
Was it really due to server maintenance and removing Bots? Or did the site get overflowed with traffic? #reddit #wsb
Suddenly everyone is talking about some Reddit strike/blackout/revolt. I don't use Reddit, but am trying to understand what's going on. If I understand correctly, the company is now charging for API access, forcing some free 3rd party reader apps to shut down. The website is still fully usable to u...Read more
MEGA THREAD HERE Edit #1: stop asking for invites that’s not how it works on Reddit. Read below GME TO 1000 BABY!! 🚀🚀 Info: earlier today the WSB mods were discussing changing the privacy settings so that they could limit the number of bots posting distracting posts on the sub, to get users to ...Read more
I have an onsite coming up for Reddit as a staff and there’s a “backend engineering/skillset specific interview” vs “general programming” session. General programming sounds like a non-leetcode programming question, pretty straightforward. The backend/specific skillset one says it focuses on distri...Read more
Robinhood - shuts down trades Reddit - prevents signup to WSB Facebook - prevents joining of WSB FB group Google - removes over 100K negative reviews Discord - shuts down entire servers Ya'll pointing the finger only at one company? What the h is going on? #GME
Don't blame the messenger. "Over the weekend, Coinbase users took to online forums like Reddit to complain that supposed server issues were essentially restricting them from either accessing accounts or withdrawing funds. While some found workarounds by accessing the application programming inter...Read more
I’ve been using SurfShark for a year or so, and it’s been mostly good, but sometimes it seems like all of their servers go down. So I’m looking into other options. Can’t go on Reddit for legit reviews because it’s filled with bots that spam affiliate links. NordVPN? PureVPN? Any good recs?
I am reading about server side programming and stuff with goal in mind to deploy web apps and eventually cloud apps. Is Golang really a better choice( in terms of performance, scalability, build/maintenance time and cloud compatibility) , in comparison to node.js, php and python. Few programmers...Read more
Does anyone know of any online communities that have worked well for networking with other software engineers and intelligent people in the tech space?

How is a complete system (world-wide?) outage handled in such an efficient manner... Think all servers were up in 30 mins. I've heard of chaos engineering from Netflix, but haven't done much research yet... Any examples of what would cause such events? Bonus: Lastly for the conspiracist... What ar...Read more
If you post the same question on here, reddit, and hackernews you'll probably get three totally different responses For example, if you ask about joining a startup vs faang, hackernews is way more pro startup than here I'd say On the other hand, there's funny things like when someone said dropbox ...Read more
Hello, I am looking for a gamer buddy to speak Spanish with while we play. I know English, and I’m assuming most of users here do also, but would be willing to alternate if preferred. I like Fortnite, Apex, Halo, CoD but I’m super flexible. I looked at the Reddit and Discord servers but they seem...Read more
When I have language-specific questions and don't want to bother my team as to why my code doesn't run I would ask random people on discord servers (making it generic looking without any company details) and see if they can find any issues with my code. When I have questions regarding issues out of ...Read more
TLDR: "I had my phone screen last Wednesday. Just got an automated email saying that they won't be moving forward. Honestly a bit bummed about that since I thought my interview went well. The tech part involved designing a cache with low latency reads and the follow up involved using a time based ca...Read more
