somerando7··on Millennials Killed the Mayonnaise Industry (2018)
I'm confused, what's the joke here?
somerando7··on Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers
No, you start with a fulltime offer, it's just called "bootcamp". It's our way of doing all the HR stuff (paperwork, medical, legal, etc) + you taking some courses on areas you're interested in specific to fb + you exploring teams and finding one that you will work at.
somerando7··on Boards are dangerous to founder/CEOs
There's nothing legally requiring me to give any seats for investment though right?

Reading through this and my gutt feeling is that if I had a company doing really well I would do my absolute best to not give up any control over it - but idk how many investors would be willing to invest in that case (if we were doing really well though, I assume at least some would?)

somerando7··on Boards are dangerous to founder/CEOs
Question from someone uneducated on this topic: is it impossible to get VC levels of investment without giving away board seats?

Is a board even required for private companies?

somerando7··on Ask HN: Who's not sucky to work for?
This is purely my preference, but anything customer facing would be a snoozefest for me.

Most L6+ that I've met in infra are incredibly sharp, and there's tons of interesting problems being solved in infra/core systems right now.

On top of this... the "move fast" motto really does ring true, compared to google, facebook speed is like riding a bike vs walking.

somerando7··on Ask HN: Who's not sucky to work for?
Yes, if they have headcount, you should be good to go
somerando7··on Ask HN: Who's not sucky to work for?
Agreed, liking it here so far. But you do have to make sure you get on an interesting team. I wouldn't want to be on a lot of different teams here.
somerando7··on Ask HN: State of PHP at Facebook?
Yes www still uses hack. No we probably won't ever migrate to another language for www.

That being said, I don't think anything BUT www is written in hack.

somerando7··on Call of Duty Adds Kernel Level Driver for Anti-Cheat
The point is you literally CAN'T make a good decision about this server side.
somerando7··on Call of Duty Adds Kernel Level Driver for Anti-Cheat
Server-side anticheat catches no cheaters...? What is even the point of developing it lol
somerando7··on My trust in software, an all time low
This is so incredibly wrong, I'm not sure why you come to a forum and lie openly like this. Anyone who has reversed modern anti-cheats will disagree with this statement.
somerando7··on Ask HN: How do I learn drawing?
The same way as learning anything - doing
somerando7··on u/DeepFuckingValue and the GameStop Reddit mania
Please tell me how to make 30-50k a month gaming reddit. I will quit my job immediately
somerando7··on Security by obscurity is underrated
It makes the barrier to entry MUCH, MUCH higher. First you have to unpack a binary, THEN you have to fixup any custom VM call that it makes. Basically only incredibly specialized people/groups will be able to do this.

Contrasting to games of the 2000s the barrier has been raised significantly for hackers

somerando7··on Show HN: Personal Management System
I would spellcheck the README if I were you. Tons of mistakes
somerando7··on Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018)
Legal reasons.
somerando7··on Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018)
Probably not WHATEVER, but what's approved by legal. React currently isn't because of the license/company that owns it I believe.
somerando7··on Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018)
Currently trying to find a new framework to do a front-end with because the company I'm currently interning doesn't allow React :^)

Looking at angular code, it's pretty ugly. What would be the next best thing to look at? Vue?
