I think it's certainly incorrect (having known lots of people on both sides of that number, there are far far more below). Another comment thread suggested that startup equity is being taken at face value, which might justify the number but is totally ridiculous

Sentry.io (http://sentry.io) | Senior Software Engineer, Storage | ONSITE (San Francisco or Seattle, 3:2) | Full-time

Sentry.io builds a suite of application monitoring tools that developers love. The Search and Storage team builds out high-volume ingestion (hundreds of thousands of records per second) for our near-real-time event and metric storage built on top of the columnar data store ClickHouse. We’re looking for a seasoned engineer who has dealt with high-volume, production-traffic serving systems who’s searching for a new challenge.

The vast majority of our work is source-available; come take a look at what our team is working on at https://github.com/getsentry/snuba. Note that this position does have an on-call component.

E-mail me, the hiring manager, at oliver.newland@sentry.io to learn more. Official job req: https://sentry.io/careers/5046170/

not sure what you mean by "apps" but I am talking back-end mostly

I've worked at Apple and hundreds if not thousands of their devs use Java

Don't know how you define popular but I'm pretty sure Eaze (weed delivery service) is all React Native.

Protos = protobuf messages?

Curious what that joke means

If you have the budget, hire a personal trainer for 1-2 hours/week. It's not cheap, but having to make the appointment or lose the money you spent is a huge motivator. They'll probably work you harder than you would work alone as well as enforce good form. I got started lifting weights this way.

Then you'll be motivated to work out on your own to save money.

Not an employee, but I'm pretty sure that the interview is the same for all engineering roles, unless you're very senior/specialized. I doubt that your interviewers will even know that you're up for a ML position specifically.

I'd consider that bet on non-1:1 odds. You could submit a more strict version of it as a category on PredictIt.

I think the point the parent was trying to make is that responding to a recruiter isn't likely to get you ANY job, because they don't understand the job reqs they're recruiting for nor the people they're trying to place.

They put sponsored tweets (tailored to individuals) in the timeline.

If you work as an engineer in the US you're probably an "exempt" employee by status, meaning that your employer doesn't have to compensate you for extra time. If you're sufficiently underpaid as an engineer that you're non-exempt, then you should be paid 1.5x for any time beyond 9-5/40 hours, or you should get to trade in those unscheduled hours to work less on following days.

EDIT: Realized I didn't address the question of whether it is "standard". I've heard that DevOps engineers have a bit of a compensation consideration (maybe $10-20k/year in the Bay Area where I live) for the on-call nature of their jobs, but I am sure that they are mostly paid enough to be exempt employees. This is totally anecdotal/second-hand and it would not surprise me if their pay is at parity or even worse than other software engineers.

I happen to be an acquaintance of Rachel Myers, and while she does do not-for-profit stuff outside of work, do you have some evidence that she's a "social impact employee" there? It's not obvious on her Twitter/Github profiles.

I don't want to assume any motive to your comment, but I think it would be a cause for concern if the world at large assumes that women/minorities are hired strictly for their "social impact".

For Java, I think Google Guava or Apache Commons are more of the de facto standard library enhancements than the one linked in the article.

This is the Columbia Journalism Review. It's not saying science is stupid, it's saying that reporters are too quick to publish study results, when not enough research has been done on the subject topic.

Nope, almost all machines support 8 digits.

Very often state machines are the best representation for domain objects which have a life cycle. If you have a lot of user submitted content shared among other users, a common set of states could be:

"new", "approved-by-other-user", "verified-by-admin", "hidden", "promoted".

I agree that at the HTTP level you shouldn't be using FSMs.

I'm guessing there's a flag to get that printout, mind sharing?

[This response is a guess, and very generalized]

You probably won't handle every HTTP edge case as well as nginx defaults, and you don't really need the control at that level to implement a functional, high performance web app.

If you write Ruby and go to a SFRuby Meetup, you will learn quickly that even if you are looking for work it is quite annoying to say you are looking for work, as the recruiters swarm in like vultures to fresh carrion.

I think Blue Bottle has more ambitious plans. Have you been to any of the coffee shops in SF (maybe more in the Outerlands) that serve Blue Bottle? They usually have it decal'ed into their front window and the brand displayed prominently. With their precise brewing process and recognizable brand, I think they want to franchise "store-within-a-store"s and get people selling their coffee sourced from their beans made with their equipment without having to pay rents or any of the costs of operating locations.

Michelle Malkin, Jonah Goldberg, David Brooks (debatable), Charles Krauthammer

talk show: Glenn Beck? Rush Limbaugh? Pat Buchanan is on the communist PBS show McLaughlin Group.

Colbert isn't a journalist, but talk radio is 99% conservative or if not outright conservative then advocating "common sense"-y solutions that somehow always come out conservative.

Didn't check wikipedia or even look up articles.

I'll contest that he's more so than Bush. http://www.salon.com/2011/05/16/whistleblowers_6/

As a corollary, you don't know how bad of a coder you are until your first thorough code review.

I think you didn't even need to quote the second sentence. Is there another successful online bookstore? It's the rare brick-and-mortar bookstore that's financially sustainable.

Me. I'm in grad school and I do ruby/backbone.js dev on the side.

Greg Proops is fantastic, but not everybody will like him. But he definitely ventures into less funny and more socially conscious territory with comfort and without pretension (ok, maybe a little pretension).

It kind of highlights the inefficiency of the site, but it has a resource-ful URL structure:

$250k easily? I think that's a level of skill that is not at all common.

I'm not saying nobody gets paid that all, but developer compensation needs to be more realistically looked at on this forum. I'd say the majority make less than $100k, and $150k or more puts you in the top 5 percentile.
