As long as they pay top dollar for engineers, I think some folks will happily (or unhappily) work there. AWS is a behemoth and it has its tentacles in almost every piece of internet based software we use today, it’s not going anywhere unfortunately.

My old boss packed up his family and moved from the Midwest US to London after he joined a new company that had offices there. Seems like a lot of folks from the states are moving to Europe.

What’s it called?

FHA program is the federal name and is not just for first time buyers, but then states will have FHA options that are discounted for first time buyers.

Last thing I would do is take engineering advice from a VC

Probably an auto rejection.

Musk for example -_-

Been actually thinking about joining Flexport.

That’s dope

My problems aren’t extreme as yours but for the last couple weeks, we’ve been having niggling, and almost nonstop environment issues. It’s hard to get anything done or commit code when things beyond my control keep breaking :(

This happens all the time. Leadership wants us to keep developing new features while ignoring the foundational issues that cause us to keep taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. My condolences; it's a frustrating experience for sure, but we'll get through it.

Yahoo is still around but not as prominent. Could be the same with Meta.
