I do not think you can trust everything you find on 4chan. Yes, dysfunctional companies exists. No, someone writing something on 4chan does not imply it ever happened.
what about someone claiming it was written on 4chan, but it was actually made up
for hn. smh can't trust anyone

>The reason is that the adjective ruskie is typically understood as "Russian" in general parlance
I’m not a native speaker, but I always heard that the Greek derived Rosyjski/Rosjanin/Rosjanka were for Russians (ie the ethnic majority in the Russian Federation) but Ruskie was still reserved for the Rus’ in general.
I’ve had native speaking members explain the distinction to me, that ruskie is more of a catch-all term for the Rus’ peoples. Then again, my family hails from northeast and southeast Poland near the borders with the Rus’.
"Ruskie" vs "Rosyjskie" is a difference between common speech and more proper grammar, but in regular usage of the language they both mean the adjective "Russian". I'm native.

I left Poland in 1983 and came back in 1992. Before we left, I had never had pierogi ruskie. If we had pierogi, they'd either be with fruit (strawberries or wild blueberries), sauerkraut and mushrooms or ground pork. That was pretty much it. We came back and ruskie were everywhere -- and rightly so.
I'm born and raised in Poland until I was 22, and I visit often. Now living abroad.
Pierogi Ruskie is my #1 food when going back. That cheese filling with onion + a good dollop of sour cream. They are the best pierogi for me.

grozmovoi commented on Ask HN: I'm a SWE without a CS degree. Will online certs help me get into FAANG? · Posted by u/jdjdjdjdjdjd
I'm an alumni of https://bradfieldcs.com/, and it enabled plenty of us to prepare to work at FAANGs. The courses aren't really for that though, but if you were to take one (I strongly recommend CSI), you will find yourself surrounded by people who crave knowledge and betterment of their craft and are very driven about their careers.
The CSI course itself isn't a FAANG prep nor will you take interviewing or leetcode classes.
Here's a free version (and larger in volume of knowledge) of what CSI offers to enable you to understand and interact with: teachyourselfcs.com/
lol the irony
