Nah, that’s not a non native English thing, i think non maths background native people would make the same mistake

I’m native speaker and I thought they were the same. Still unsure of the difference. I guess I need to study this.

"Instead you should:

query WHERE name = ‘abc’

create an indexed UPPER(name) column"

Should there be an "or" between these 2 points, or am I missing something? Why create an UPPER index column and not use it?

MiscCompFacts · 4 months ago
I think they reversed the 2 expressions. You should use “WHERE UPPER(name) = ‘ABC’” if you want to use the index.

> Conversely, if you're mediocre, there's nowhere to hide.

This line alone makes me believe you've never worked at small companies.

Small companies are where people who don't have better options go to coast either voluntarily, or involuntarily.

I do think this could be true. Your productivity is way more visible in a small company, execs actually know what you’re working on maybe from day-to-day and most definitely week-to-week. Slackers don’t last long and mediocre developers standout, now why they might be perceived as mediocre is another discussion. My first job was at a big corporation (~150,000 employees) and honestly I saw so much politics and fiefdoms and just generally low quality developers not doing much but they could sneak under the radar because they’re a small cog in the apparatus. My next company (~50-60 employees) the devs were definitely better and way more productive, but it also felt very performative/showy environment of what devs did every what and if you were perceived as not doing enough you definitely stood out. It was a very public, perhaps stressful, work environment with demos every 2 weeks.

Isn’t your pay kind of low to be an in office job in NYC?
MiscCompFacts · 4 months ago
That seems like a fantastic salary, I’ve never gotten close to that.

I'm 2 months in, and this thread scares and comforts me...

I was laid off at a small tech company mid July and found another job with a friend at another small company in mid September. I thought maybe I wouldn’t find another job for a while, but it took me about 2 months with a very significant (40%) pay cut. I like the company pretty well, but I’m still hoping for something more. We’ll see.

Reindustrializing America requires people that are actually willing to work in a factory.
MiscCompFacts · 5 months ago
Won’t people be willing when the cost of living goes up so much and all the tech jobs are gone to foreign labor that they have to work factory jobs?

Monolith != Monorepo. They're independent concepts.
MiscCompFacts · 9 months ago
I work at a company that has several micro services and a backend all in one monorepo. For some anecdata.

except you said curated :)

I actually love this part of github; it reminds me of the old internet, full of under construction Geocities pages and other half-baked projects. It's the polar opposite of today's bland, instagram-perfect same-same internet.

There are those “Awesome *” lists, such as “Awesome Python” or “Awesome Selfhosted”. Those are nice curated lists of repos on GitHub.
