I've worked at a couple of companies with pay scales on part with FAANG, as well as a startup that was extremely selective in hiring. We rarely looked at GitHub, and never used it as a in a situation where someone got hired. I could see a situation where someone had good open source contributions it might help them get noticed by a recruiter, but that's so incredibly rare and hard to discover that it's kindof the last place people look. Having a good GitHub profile can't hurt, but LinkedIn is still king here
Having been to both Indonesia and Myanmar, I can say confidently Burmese food is much better. The one exception is the dessert Martabak you can get in Java is to die for.
I think Jerk might be too specific of a term. You probably just want to be looking out for someone you don't want as a coworker.
My goto question is to ask people what motivates them. There's a wide range of answers, but I usually find that what people disclose often helps me understand them better even if they may appear a bit like a jerk, and I can consequently give them more targeted feedback or coaching. I think spending 30 minutes to get to know someone is worth every second and can really help team cohesion and productivity.
I think the idea is that perfect is the enemy of good here and that getting from 90% to 100% involves tradeoffs that aren't actually worth it from a language ergonomics point of view.
I have that exact same nightmare! The harder I press on the brake, the less it does, as if the brake power is following a logarithmic curve. Although I don't really know why I have that dream, no specific experience comes to mind.
It's interesting that 600MB can be perceived as both trivial (e.g. on a fiber connection this is a matter of seconds) and excruciating (e.g. on a rural satellite line this could be 15-20+ minutes).
I had a bad manager at a previous job, although they were just more incompetent than actively trying to micromanage.
I managed to get onto another team by making connections internally. I think showing initiative, interest, and promise to another tech lead or manager in their area could go a long way.
That being said, even after switching teams I eventually left for another job and took a big pay cut for it, but was totally worth it for my sanity.
I remember when web components first came out and there was some hype around them, and just being really confused on what they're actually good for. I think it's really telling that since web components came out there's never been a popular framework, website, or company that has heavily leveraged them.
