Apple is in a very tough spot. A $5bn headquarters sits relatively vacant with decreasing likelihood that there will be a return on investment. They ironically dug themselves into a hole by preaching how it would revolutionize the workplace while most feel this way about WFH. The paradigm shift seems obvious, especially when you account for the unrelenting rise in commercial real estate prices since Covid.

Perhaps Apple cannot acknowledge the foot in their mouth because it would contribute to a systemic collapse of the commercial real estate market... crazy times.

The referral bonus must be off the charts... good luck to the author.

You have to integrate more socializing into your life or you will not make it in the long run. If a remote worker tells you this doesn't bother them... ask them how long they've been remote. If it's less than 5 years, it's slowly eating at them and they don't realize it yet. Even the most introverted homebodies need to do this for remote jobs IME.

work when you feel like it == burnout city

yes because most of us don't know how to turn that off!

Mental health must become a priority when working remote. Separation is a key way to stay ahead of the degradation. Even if you're not a person who tends to go outside, you HAVE TO when you work remote. Lack of face to face interaction will eat you very slowly over the years.

It can't just be with your usual people either. You need to have a level of unexpected interactions with other humans to stay a happy person. I'm not a psychologist, but I've had this happen to me and any other colleague I know who worked remote. It's a very real thing – respect it.

tribal militance from supporters of each, defending their own vested interest.

This is something I really wish I understood before going down the road of graphql. I think it's a great technology, but the developers supporting it are making it nearly impossible for a legacy codebase to ever adopt.

Ex: so many JS codebases use redux. Apollo is a popular graphql framework that supported redux integration for some time, then suddenly ripped it out. They cited performance concerns, but I looked through the code myself and it would seem they just have a bias against redux. This issue thread makes that especially evident: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/2273

We were very lucky to have found that before breaking ground on the work.

That goes both ways. They know they'll lose. I've been in this exact situation with an estranged CEO. They send their cease & desist and hope you take it down, but won't go further than that. Sure, you might have a psycho on your hands ready to lose all his time and money, but at that point, you shouldn't have ever taken the job, so moot point.

Just because RH is in legal/regulatory trouble does not mean your money is just going to disappear. It's a fiduciary, not an ICO. Financial firms must have disaster plans that involve giving or transferring all of your assets back to you if it all ends. Selling your positions because of this would be a misinformed decision.

And that rarely holds up in court, especially in California. Some common sense comes into play e.g. if you're building a direct competitor or using their IP, then of course that's going to be an issue.

There's an interesting 1960's era art installation by Anthony Heinsbergen on a side wall of the LA facility that seems oddly related to this... https://i1.wp.com/upinthevalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/...

Years of radiation exposure and the poor guy dies of alcohol poisoning. 'Murica.

While the DPRK cultivates their talent, we indict ours: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/03/researche....

As someone else here has noted, it is impressive what DPRK has put together with comparatively limited resources. It makes me wonder what the cyber-landscape is going to look like in the coming years as the U.S. continues to ostracize the already scarce few who actually know how to reverse engineer malware, AND have the ethics to properly report it.

He has a point since I could always go down to the reserve and trade my dollars in for cold hard gold. Oh wait...

Assembly, radare2, C :)

Dude... you are a g

I think you're missing a "y" ;)

I felt the same way after using it. I've switched to React since and I can say it's amazing. Far better than the other solutions IMO.

Debugging Angular was completely useless without tests too. It would be a waste of time to write anything in Angular without them.

Why don't you find a way to work Node into your side project? If you modularize what you build in node nicely, you can break it out into its own repo and post it. :)

Also, I personally take advantage of failed side projects from the past by open sourcing them. Really helps in interviews!
