rehman··on What does Palantir actually do?
Palantir is an evil, unethical organization that profits from war and surveillance, full stop. Its products operationalize mass data collection into targeting and policing workflows, turning human lives into "pipeline metrics" and normalizing permanent war as a business model. The revenue comes from conflict, and the lock-in comes from embedding its engineers into institutions that can't easily rip it out. That's not "neutral tooling"-it's an incentive engine for more harm.
rehman··on Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
Cerebras systems can be a good option to work.
rehman··on My platonic ideal for how engineering hiring should work
Hope this gets fixed some day.
rehman··on The technical interview is an ego trip
Problem solving skill is a must. Not saying to cram the algorithms. But using those in your approach shows the ability of the candidate's efficiency and quickness in solving them.
rehman··on Don't Get Stuck
Staying abreast with tech stack is one thing and staying abreast with practices is one thing. Stacks will come and go, all it matters is your fundamentals, skills, practices that you work on day in and out. If that's good then stacks are just a matter of tools. If you keep on changing just for the matter of stacks, then you might be left behind on growing vertically on a particular niche.
rehman··on Which countries have protected both health and the economy in the pandemic?
Quite fascinating, no India our there. India is worst affected, both Covid wise and economy wise. Worst mismanagement of all time.
rehman··on Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this?
Good growing startups is the best place on every aspects. 1. Not too much load since it's growing and has resource scarcity so won't push harder on employees. 2. Not less work since it's growing and there's ample work to do for next year atleast next few months. 3. You own stuff. 4. You get paid good. Equivalent to how much you work and that keeps you going. Even you can negotiate freely on this in case you have any concerns.

Not all startups are like this, but yeah few good growing startups.

rehman··on FFFG: Freedom from Facebook and Google
I hope this gains traction. Everyone is so busy in their survival journey, no one wants to take that big step. Google provides a comfort zone that we don't wanna leave.
