I just can't think well on interesting problems while someone's talking to someone behind, someone at my face at the cubicle trying to hit a conversation. Hence, WFH.
Don't like team because finding good team 10xs everything but bad team 1/10xs everything.
It's way more likely the team is a misfit in real world unless of course there are no hiring constraints due to elitism.
> What companies want is team players who are often fun, light and friendly, actively work to build trust with a team through socialization, promote good practices and patterns and don't begrudge the fact that a portion of their day is to be spent in meetings, reviewing others' code and generally communicating.
It seems ok for a company to seek these from their engineers. I think, I want these too. I just don't like forced standups and sync up meetings. If someone did something cool and want to pull me aside to show? I'm all in. If someone wants help on something, I'll be there..
but it's just that the way things are managed is just dull.
let's do a standup meeting for 15mins where people explain
- what they did yesterday
- what they will do today
- what are impediments
I propose an idea and the TL arbitrarily pulls off a blog post reference to shut down by saying "there's no business value".
I think it's fair to expect interviewee to solve 2 LC mediums in 45 mins given by the candidate. That's the current FAANG expectation. If a bad candidate is too costly for a company, so are a bad company too costly for a candidate.
So glad I've decided not to bother with FAANGs. I can spend two months in my "free time" re-learning algorithms I haven't touched in years (which have no practical bearing on my skills or experience), or I can spend time with my family.
Smaller banks are vulnerable to bank runs. So a lot of banks during crisis (before FDIC / Centralized Banking in the USA) would close up to stop bank runs.
Closing up shop during a bank run only made people angrier, and exacerbated the problem. What was invoked as a solution, was for every bank in the nation to be FDIC insured by the central bank.
The smaller and more decentralized banks are, the more frequently the bank-runs are, forcing the small banks to close to protect themselves.
I just don't understand why Apple Music search is so bad. Sometimes only exact match returns albums. It's so bad that appending "Apple Music" in google works better.
