    FWIW: Netflix started out kind of toxic when I arrived in 2013, but got waaaaaay better over five years at the IC level. We hired a ton of genuinely kind people, toxic ones left, and even some toxic managers learned how to be kind. Still not perfect, but nothing is.

    Rich has been dropping knowledge for the past 24 hours. Highly recommend: The people who made Valve a hellscape exist everywhere, to varying degrees. They just have different tools and incentives in a hierarchy. Know the signs, protect yourself and others.

    If you and your work-friends experience a mass layoff, relax and start organizing. Identify the companies you and your friends want to work for. Send in people who *don’t* want the job to interview at each company to gather “intel” about the process, questions, tests etc.

    If someone's first acts upon getting hired are to try and become out-of-work friends with *only* influential/high status people in many teams within the org, they're probably up to no good.

    What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you when you started writing code? It'd be great to hear from people like and

    Really appreciate how clean and well organized the tensorflow.js codebase is. The webgl stuff is especially easy to understand compared to the cuda I've seen. Great repo to learn from IMO.

    Rules of optimization: 1) Design for performance from day 1 2) Profile often 3) Be vigilant on performance regressions 4) Understand the data 5) Understand the HW 6) Help the compiler 7) Verify your assumptions 8) Performance is everyone's responsibility

    If this has a cell module, Apple-quality CPU/GPU/battery, runs full desktop Windows with no caveats, and is no bigger than an iPhone+ I will finally leave iOS after 10+ years.

    Exclusive: Microsoft details secret “pocketable” Surface device in leaked email. Microsoft says Andromeda is a disruptive bet. Think back to Surface RT and how Surface Pro has changed laptops. Details here:

    California’s AB-375 “GDPR Lite” just passed. Start your clocks! On January 1st, 2020, you can: * Ask companies to send you the “specific pieces of personal information” they’ve collected about you. * ~ Find out who it got sold to. * Exercise “The right to opt out.“ 🔥🔥🔥

    Congratulations Reddit for being one of the most annoying websites begging you to download the app when there is zero need for it. Your perseverance, invasiveness, UI trickery and changing tactics have fooled me a number of times to accidentally click on the app link. 👏 10/10

    The move from React Native sounds like a technical-solution-for-org problem. Could they have kept RN if engineers had been incentivized/accountable for broadening their skills? How will a server framework prevent people from still taking messy shortcuts? The root issue lives on.

    Trying to slice up 15k satellite images into 2m samples. Pillow ruined colors (every thread said long-standing issue), JS lib was going to take 5 hours parallelized, rust lib is about an hour. Really wish I had a rust lib that spoke numpy, would save me a ton of time on big sets.

    IMO centralizing influence into architect/lead roles hurts teams by making the rest of the team less invested. Rewards, freedom, context end up recursively going to a few. Talented people take fewer risks and defer upwards until a power vacuum appears and the cycle renews. Gross.

    Really cool work from the “dream team” . Generative models of environments might pave the way toward machines that autonomously learn to understand the world around them.
