This does have an adverse effect, as relatives of mine got multiple offers and others rejected or waitlisted. Not sure what the best path is, as the top 5% probably got accepted to all, at least what I am seeing from my network. Then others are left to wait for the top 5% to choose; sometimes a month. By then, most non top 5% have to make a decision elsewhere. I am sure the UC System has it all worked out, just seems it could be done better.
How long does it take to get the response vs external bots pulling the data? What mechanisms does GitHub have in place to stop bots who monitor repo changes? I ask, as I have been there and it is super scary how fast someone/bot pulls repo data changes, as in minutes, and the repo we had back then was not popular.
I wanted to give a heads up that when I search for “Python for data analytics”, I get this awesome book “The Storm of Bringer by Isabel Cooper”. I know you are still working on the site, so it was a good giggle, put a smile on my face. You gotta see it for yourself, contextual a warrior repping python.
If they do discount, even 5%, then it ripples across their accounts as a legal matter, esp at your scale. I was a buyer for some big companies, 8 digit, and the procurement office would only do a deal with MFN/MFC clause. They would also audit the supplier from time to time.
I worked with Jony after we were acquired. The original Siri linen background was his idea, the bubbles had to be perfect, the padding, the text size, the lists goes on. I inferred this as design obsession and did not find it offending, he was right 95% of the time.
When I left Apple, I emailed with Jony on a device I had designed and pitched internally in 2011 but was shelved. His response has stayed with me to this day, “not all ideas make the cut, even the best ones”.
He could have cut me down or ignored me, but he responded with honesty.
I think that void he left when he moved on was too big to be filled. Steve and Jony were always together, pretty much every day we would see them at lunch.
I launched several startups on Heroku over the last decade +, and feel they have gravity on trust. Some of the best devs I have worked with.
Much love to his family and friends.
What is convoluted and worse? I am not a mobile Dev at this time, just going by what I see online.
