Excellent benefits, great people, remote-first culture from pre-COVID, great work/life balance.
The company used to have a rich culture of supporting the development of community, but since current CEO joined and company was sold, it’s had major cash flow problems and management does seem to know how to react. Then GenAI came around and all strategy and vision went out the window.
How long does it take to master leetcode and object oriented programming in python? I don’t code in my daily job and just write sql and Jupyter notebooks. For any automation code I just refer similar work from the repo or stack overflow. I embarrass myself in coding interviews and hate for being so ...Read more
Downloaded the 2018 Stack Overflow tech salaries report. I was surprised to see the job title "dev ops specialist" as the highest paid job in NA and EU. I always thought of dev ops guys as admins with little amount of python knowledge https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DSq3mNMWE-P4fQICAu5-2ODvLi...Read more
I know this is a stack overflow question but I want to understand from the tech people who work with these languages daily. How Java Object Oriented is different than Python Object Oriented model. Thanks in advance
Stack overflow and GitHub are for new programmers and Uber nerds. Their rankings mean nothing except that Python is a teaching language. The future is moving toward integrated frontend like node that do everything. Data storage happens via graphql or some reactive backend and is continuously stream...Read more
For example Google hired Guido Van Rossum (creator of python) and Jon Skeet (number #1 stack overflow contributor, .net God, owner of the best last name imaginable). Do these people go through the “normal” interview process where a pimply face 28 year old tries to get them to find the longest palin...Read more
Rust is *the most loved programming language for the 5th year in a row* according to the stack overflow survey, yet is still a relatively unknown or uncommon for many programmers. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted-languages It offers C/C++ per...Read more
Hey everyone! Could you share yoour experience of how you made the switch? What helped? Certifications? Internal transfer? Referrals? I don't have a particularly technical background. Did a bachelor's in finance and then an MBA in business analytics right after. Know basic python/sql but am comfort...Read more
Today I had some problem which I knew could be solved using regex. However I just googled and got stack overflow link and it solved my problem. However I feel guilty. I feel like someone who asked on stack overflow without doing any work. I think I should have studied/revisit more in detail about re...Read more
Languages I've considered: Java, Kotlin, Go, Node, Python, Rust I went with Scala because: - can benefit from JVM ecosystem, ita libraries and optimizations - has some functional programming niceties, but not as forced as strong FP languages like Haskell. Still brings in some OOP. - not as niche as...Read more
Learning programming in my own time. As of now it consists of GitHub crawling, YouTube videos, and playing in Terminal on macOS as a sandbox for Python, Node, etc. There are things I run into where I wish I could ask a mentor or friend when I am just not getting it from the usual places like Stack ...Read more
Hello Python developers! Sorry for turning this into stack overflow but I think Blind has more technical talents I have a server built on the popular framework fast api. My app has very fast real time transactions so it does not make sense to do offset based pagination. I want to implement cursor ...Read more
I've worked in tech for 5 years, and I want to make the transition to a frontend developer. I've been learning React, Redux, and JavaScript/ES6 in my spare time. (In addition to my existing, basic knowledge of Python and Ruby) My question: What knowledge level do you think I need to be at in order...Read more
I was solving so many coding interview questions everyday , I would write code at work and feel great about it. Now in my work I just paste the error code in chatgpt, and it fixes it for me. I had a python / pyspark script that was running for 10 mins to process the data, pasted in in chatgpt, and...Read more
1. which tech companies are friendly to consultants? 2. which positions are best? And which ones would I have a real chance? 3. For Google specifically, would this be enough "tech" knowledge for a PM role? ---- Background: I want to leave consulting soon, within the next 12 months. Mostly because...Read more
Currently working as a ML scientist. Came from research background. No formal CS education. I learn to code by 'reverse engineering' ( run each line and see what happens ). I'm trying to benchmark myself against real SWEs in terms of my coding skill. Even though I've had almost 4 YOE of coding in P...Read more

I'm a relatively new dev so when I first heard about Chat GPT replacing jobs I got pretty scared. After spending some time with it practicing coding problems, I have no idea how any of you think that this thing is going to replace us any time soon (maybe one day though, who knows). Among a few othe...Read more
I am a software engineer from India with 3+ YOE looking for a change working on python and cloud but mostly on Cloud.

[EDIT: I left out TC: $475K (assuming stock value stays the same as at time of offer)] I am wondering about how people deal with the problem of sharing non-proprietary reference notes between work and home computers? I was using the Dropbox app to sync notes between work and home, but now that se...Read more
