+1 to the podcast. He seems to be a calm guy and it is good to hear about his thought process and the vision he has. Interestingly he loved playing video games and he owes playing video game to help him in critical thinking.

The above data is only of engineers hired using TripleByte platform. I saw only a handful of open positions with Apple. The data is based on the type of companies uses the platform to hire which probably doesn't involve big paying companies such as Googles, FB, Uber etc

+1 to the book. It has been a great resource for me to understand lot of concepts on Distributed Systems

Thats true, I am thinking that Nazar is more like spam filter and monitors the user behavior.

i was just talking with my friend to have something like this. It takes a while from being swipe right to book an actual date

One reason on top of my head: Using such communication protocol would require changes to the other services consuming it.

In bay area there are quite a handful of such firms which fake person resume and help them find out the job. What surprises me is that employer does catch the difference in experience while interviewing and bunch of positions are filled.

I have been in Bay Area for little over 3 years with a fairly stable company. The opportunities are many in all technical fields(pro) but again it comes with the cut throat competition(con). One has to compete with people from FB/Google or new grads who have mugged all DS questions. My interest to stay in Bay Area is with the hope I could be able to join one of the companies which will be Uber/Airbnb of tomorrow and gain great experience and $$$.

Get more netflix to your life !!

Good to see the government and Nokia stepping up to mitigate the pressure of employees who were laid off.

I had the same feeling when I moved from India to US. May be its Swiss time, and I dont have to pay big portion of my income to US.

there will soon be another post on how to become a senior developer.

I think bubble will not burst but it will start to deflate, when bunch of companies with 1B+ evaluation fail to give the investors huge promised returns. This will dry up seed funding and Series funding for startups. Investors will loose their money and series of layoffs at startups. This may impact the growth of big giants but nit sharply. Lastly, Silicon valley crazy rental could be see decline too.

Me, too !!

In long run, company culture and employee loyalty wins. But I have yet to find one.
