kjsingh··on From First Principles: Why Scala?
I think there was a difference in approach (or the outcome)

Scala is positioned to write new code while using old java libs

Kotlin is positioned to write code/libs which can be shared with new java code

The theme is replacement vs co-existing!

kjsingh··on Indian engineers are so bad that a tech giant wants to hire high school grads
Come on! India produces one of the best engineers in the world. If you look at the numbers, they need people doing run-of-the-mill 'coding' jobs who need not be 'trained' in complex algorithms and software engineering. They can hire school grads, train them to the basic skill set they need and hire them at 30% less salary. No good engineer would like to be hired for 2.5L in these companies.

kjsingh··on Ask HN: Should I join Amazon? Why? Or Why not?
Current employee with Amazon.

I have worked with other big names, small and mid size startups.

Amazon in itself is a sub-culture in software and technology. I would recommend anyone getting an opportunity to work here to go for it. Even if you leave after a year or two, I am sure you will learn things that will shape your career in a positive manner.
