I wasn't suggesting anyone should "just be quiet", in fact, I'm happy this person was able to express themselves and their situation openly on LinkedIn.

My point was simply this wasn't a very pragmatic approach to handling the situation. Some employers may not like to see this type of content on their professional profile and it may hurt their career.

As much as I feel sorry for this person and their experience, it seems to me this wasn't the best way to handle this situation.

It would have been more pragmatic to fire up leetcode, take a few interviews, and leave the job professionally. This probably would have come with a small pay bump, even with this persons limited professional experience.

Maybe I'm just lucky and I've never had a bad experience like this, but I couldn't see myself posting something like this professionally.

It seems to me, this has nothing to do with a 40 hour work week.

This person has overcommitted themselves in their personal life to the point where it is conflicting with their work responsibilities.

This is sound advice even if that means only starting your career in SF. Once you have an established career in the Bay Area you can command similar a similar salary in other cities and live where you want.

How about dealing with the human feces on the sidewalks and rampant homelessness instead of stifling innovation.

When I was in high school I worked at McDonalds and it was amazing how old their systems were. Ancient DOS interfaces for everything.

Those screenshots are damning. Enforced equity is not the answer to these problems.

Go traveling for a month or two. Don’t write any code. Just do whatever you want to do and clear your mind.

Ideally find a new job that is cool with you starting in a few months.

They will be starting a new direct route to Rome FCO in the fall as well.

Bounviaggio!

The points regarding AB tests and analytics simply isn't applicable to most commercial apps.

Understanding how your features/changes affect key metrics and understanding how your users are interacting with your app is so crucial when you are trying to generate revenue.

I would argue Apples analytics are no where near enough to accomplish this.

These numbers matched exactly to what is currently in the AppStore for the last release we have ready for sale

It does seem to be affecting the end user binary size: http://imgur.com/a/FEgQY

These numbers were all around 60mb on Xcode 8.2.1

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case.

Binary sizes in iTunes connect (from our Xcode 8.3 build) all were 2x-3x larger depending on device.

Upon further inspection they disabled pre compiled bridging by default before release

https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/5b9166ba8098a23e0601aa...

After turning it on compilation speed seemed to improve immensely

It looks like it was actually disabled before release

https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/5b9166ba8098a23e0601aa...

My understanding was that this was enabled by default

Very anecdotal evidence: I work on a fairly large mixed Swift & Objc project and I was expecting a greater decrease in compile times.

At first it seemed 'snappier' but starting to notice not much of an improvement.

It definitely still feels like making small changes like changing a function name triggers a lot of extra work.

I should fire up some benchmarking of Swift 3.1 vs 3.0

Am I missing a joke here?

Interface builder, xibs and storyboards are very useful tools for even extremely large projects. Makes building and maintaining the UI extremely easy.

The idea that because a tool is easy to use is somehow indicative of the skill of the person using the tool, is completely bogus. Interface builder has a lot of advanced features for setting up complicated UI.

You could quite easily argue the opposite for someone who needlessly creates all of their UI in code rather then in interface builder.

Just curious, what reason did they give for your denial?

That book was my first introduction into stoicism. Really enjoyed it.

Highly recommend 'Meditations' next

Software professionals might get to Canada, see the smaller paycheck and run back home!

I would if Siri worked for basic use cases. I tried to create a timer on my Mac with Siri and it couldn't even do that. Sad really.

I don't recommend using a hackintosh for your professional development.

That being said, building a hackintosh rig and getting it to work is really fun to play around with!

Actually very pleasantly surprised that this version 1 API has this much publicly customizable features. My guess was that this would be locked down in the first new gen MacBooks

As a rider myself I'm not surprised.

The product seemed very gimmicky to me. I also would be very concerned how safe the helmet is compared to a snell approved Arai Signet-Q

As someone who loves living in SF, this is a promising trend!

Xcode. A ton of great features but hopelessly unreliable and un-stable.

Here is to hoping that Xcode 8 breaks the cycle.

It's really sad to me that this is the response we are seeing from CCI.

Instead of urging companies to compete with the firms in California and offer a comparable salary, the first reaction is to punish talent for leaving? Totally insane.

You want top Canadian talent? Pay for it.

You could obtain a TN visa under the sci-tech category (which does not require a degree). Before I had my degree this is how I got my first TN.

It is a little less straightforward then the Computer Systems Analyst category but it can be done.
