People that grind leetcode all the way to faang are loaded. You have any idea how many people I've seen with dilated pupils in the office? Unfortunately for OP, he/she will have to roll with this crowd because that's just the truth, there's nothing they will be able to change about that reality.
> now it's in Zuck's interest to get his competitor's moat bridged as fast as possible.
It's this, and by making it open and available on every cloud out there would make this accessible to other start ups who might play in Meta's competitor's spaces.
Yes, this absolutely mind boggling. Not insinuating or suggesting anything, but if I could wear my tinfoil hat for a bit. I wonder if there was a significant psy-op conducted IRL so that the original author couldn't devote time and would eventually handover ownership to bad actors.
I hope some three letter agencies are conducting a deeper investigation into this.
> I mean, LinkedIn has what, 20,000 employees? If you had spherical developers in a vacuum, I doubt you'd need more than 40-50 to maintain their products, but there's more to running a tech company.
This is a ridiculous take. You would need way more than that just to maintain Kafka and run ops for it, that LinkedIn heavily relies on. You are trivializing the complexity of running a platform like LinkedIn.
Perhaps if reducing the complexity was considered an urgent necessity, over hiring more, there would be less complexity and new opportunities would be easier to consider and jump on.
Complexity compounds, so the tradeoff is, continually tame it, or continually hire with less and less impact per employee.
The latter seems to happen a lot when money flows.
Coin goes down slot like a vending machine hitting some sensor telling the machine that a $0.25 or $1 coin has been accepted. Dumb old machine has poor protections against reversing that process, especially with faceplate removed.
