I'm a Senior iOS Engineer with a background in design. Just applied, look forward to talking with you.


I would suggest listing the location / onsite / remote


Tesla is under $190kwh for their battery packs and falling.


Laughing at someone's code is like laughing at someone's painting or their novel or really any other creative endeavor. It's not ok period.


My team playfully makes fun of each other's code all the time. Every once in a while, someone does something stupid in code and we playfully make fun of that person, everyone on the team takes it in stride and our code is better for it.

Hell, every now and then I stumble across some idiocy in the code base and think "LOL, whoever did it this way is an idiot". git blame. "OH, hahaha, it was me, what an idiot past me was, amirite guys?" Everyone on the team takes levity about mistakes very seriously ;) It's healthy.

Mocking condescension on the other hand is a different thing entirely.


Self-deprecation is classy. Other-deprecation is pathetic


If someone's work is poor enough that a reasonable person might laugh at it, then there's nothing wrong with that. Hence the phrase "laugh at our mistakes". It doesn't mean you are a bad coder/painter, it just means you made mistakes that were a little funny and can learn from them like anyone else.


There's a difference between laughing at your own mistakes and laughing at someone else's. People who are ridiculed for making mistakes are incentivized to hide their mistakes rather than learning from them.


We "laugh at our mistakes" not "laugh at other people while they are making the mistake".


Is it? Or is it more like laughing at someone who built a table with 3 legs and wonder why it fell over? Or someone who fixed a car but forgot to put the engine back and wonders why they can't go anywhere?


That is completely unacceptable behavior. If you were in my company I would petition to have you fired. I hold a strict no asshole rule, life is too short to work with people who would do something like that.


Sounds like I wouldn't want to work with you anyway. Life isn't rainbows and unicorns.


Then you're as bad as he is. Especially given that he's already acknowledged he shouldn't have done it. Indignation doesn't make you right, it just makes you stubborn.


It sounds like your org is lacking in some basic leadership. If issues are brought up in the code it either needs to be corrected or justified with the team.


Or he could keep it as it is.. add a link to the page for a new page "For the Big Wigs" that's more enterprisey and uses words like "synergy"


Even if the terms ate up 2.9B of the 3B an engineer with 1 point will still walk away with close to a million. I don't buy it.


It's rare for an engineer to have 1 point they would probably have to be engineer #1 or #2


Granted, I don't think many engineers are making out with seven figures here, but they should be making whatever their shares were supposed to be worth at the most recent valuation. That's if they joined after the last funding round, more if they joined earlier.


If you don't want a catalytic converter on your car for performance or intentionally running rich a/f mix etc.. you can put the O2 sensor into a "spark plug tool" that'll trick the O2 sensor into thinking all is well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqDmmLQ4pGk

Hacks are not required to be sophisticated to be effective and people will find them. Maybe for example if you place a 1/4 inch of extra plastic in front of the front facing radar it'll make the car follow more aggressively then it's calibrated for, who knows! that's a made up example but I expect this stuff is going to happen as it already does.


Heavy in relation to trucks is usually linked with "heavy duty" which is a good thing. Many truck manufacturers use "heavy duty" in their branding.
