Sooo he did not talk terms, he did not sign anything, and now he is complaining? Sad to break it to you buddy, but the real world is not fair game, and you got played.

Salty about never making a management role, eh?

"Good" tends to be very subjective. Actually good people rarely get let go, unless there is a very good reason. At the same time almost everyone who gets laid off thinks they are a very good employee, which obviously is not the case.

And execs get paid for the expectations and responsibility. You are just being salty right now.

vive is blowing them out of the water currently with VR though, and Palmer is not improving the situation at all with his antics.

Totally lost it at "e knew we'd ultimately need dozens (even hundreds) of microservices to be successful" and did not read any further. I am having a very hard time seeing that as a criteria for success, not to even mention imagining how that mess is managed. Is this really common to have so many microservices?

What invention? Freezing berries so they can be stored? Newsflash - the whole world does this.

Working with Russia isn't something you should be excited about. Trump is delusional about Russia, as were (and still are) several of the European leaders. Russia is not looking for friendly relationships, they don't care about stupid resets etc. Its a backwards country, it will be for decades to come, and it trickles all the way down to the mindset of their people. They should be isolated even more, not courted for friendly relationships by an unexperienced president, so they could abuse that to their own good again.

So when you tell people that 3 years down the road the package ecosystem mess is going to be so bad that a package containing a one-line function broke half of the internet, they would go ahead and pick that technology to learn? Oh buddy.... say it aint so.

The world needs less Slack-fanboism.

It's an online community. You just described an online community or any community actually. What did you expect Reddit would be? :)

You should give these headsets a shot and try them out. Also I'm not sure you know how the real world works... Gamers alone will wear these headsets for extended periods of time.

Im still amazed how people actually have time for this SJW stuff in the actual real world.

I would also love to know what are the apps that you are thinking about that could be improved so much by this technology that you quit your job. I have tried to think of all kinds of uses cases and just can't get excited over this technology.

Keep telling that to yourself.

How does it feel being such an Apple fanboy? :)

So a guy working as a highly paid consultant that does not have time to spend any of his money runs out of it in less than a year... And his top "warning" for the whole thing is social pressure. Is this a joke?

Wow. I honestly feel bad for your kids.

Welcome to the real world, where companies are ran for profit, not for some "greater good". I can safely assume you have never owned a company. How would you feel if you would not get paid for your work, but it would instead be handed out to homeless people for the greater good (as an example)?

What on earth are you talking about? I hope this is a joke and no a serious "tip".

So why did you pick a tech stack for this project, given that you had not used it before, sounds like no-one in your team had either, nor is this stack widely used (afaik)?

I'm struggling to see the improvement here. The validations are harder (more confusing?) to use, require more code/work and then apparently try hard to provide the exact same integration that the original thing provides? Sooo whats different or better now?

What the hell are you even talking about? How is the police force battling _illegal_ drug traffickers the bad guys here?

groan Not another site claiming blockchains are the solution for everything, please! I've yet to see an actual useful blockchain usage outside of payments.

Soooo one row of a collection represented as an object instance of a collection of instances is bad? Why?

Will it solve wanting to see live sports and all the "good morning" shows I watch while prepping to go to work and do I get the new episodes of shows on their release day?

So why does a startup need to bring in (theoretically) high skilled talent on a work visa, especially if they cant afford it?

There actually is a salary condition in the requirements. In order to apply for the visa, the company needs to submit a job description along with the salary to the DOL, who then either approves or denies it. The salary for the position has to be above average for the position in the US. Yet this does not seem to stop any of these companies.

It is also fairly easy to spoof, especially given the number of PII leaks in the recent years.

I would not consider going over their frontend assets and request headers anything close to picking apart their technical setup though. For anyone a little more knowledgeable that post is just a collection of random facts about the apps visible front-end.

I don't think you get it... In most cases we are talking about applications beyond the complexity of a configurable CMS. Also assuming that replication solves your (potential) database bottlenecks does not account for write-heavy scaling.
