They push Serverless so hard but there are SO MANY limitations and surprise gotchas. It's driving me absolutely insane.
Hey, what are the most painful limitations/gotchas you're hitting? I'm on this team and would like to hear about painpoints.

The risk of their default is supposed to be built into the price. On the other hand they suffer short term reputational damage which could prevent them from getting future loans, but they are in survival mode so that doesn't really matter right now.
I guess it is unpopular to say but I like WeWork and I'm rooting for them. We were very very early users before even their NYC Flagship at 175 Varick. Those early days were really memorable. They provided something no one else did. I think the model makes sense over the long term with some austerity, so I'm rooting for them.
I was in Varick too! great memories of that place, it certainly felt like they were onto something back then.

Matches my experience, for the first step I was given a lengthy questionare and told it would be about 12 pages of answers. Nope'd out immediately.
It's a shame because the product and my Hiring Manager seemed great, I'm curious what candidates make it through.
very cool! if anyones interested here's a generic implementation
also, to the author, make sure you turn _off_ persistent local storage, the performance is horrific (https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4045) - maybe helia is better?

> I have absolutely no interest in leading a team, but senior members in my org keep trying to groom me into a TL. I like being an IC and building what I'm told to build; I have no idea how to decide what it is we should be building and don't want to deal with customer demands.
Have you considered telling this to these "senior members"? I.e "I want to remain an IC. I don't want to be a TL".
@OP, I'm an EM at "frugal", ldap is hcliff if you want to chat.
I'm assuming OP is L5, which does require "people influencing", although no formal leadership and or TL role is required. You can stay at this level indefinitely.
OP, is your manager ok with your current performance? Is your EM trying to grow you for promo or into the full level reqs? You should seek clarity here and if the former set boundaries/expectations as per the parent comment.
> But now I'm struggling to find motivation to do my work Is this recent? I'm seeing this quite a bit with the current job insecurity and turmoil at the company. As other comments have advocated: therapy and consider extended leave or a team switch. FWIW I don't think lower stakes work is going to fix your motivation, something you care about may.

You're comment is so obvious propaganda it's actually funny. Give our best to whoever's paying you for this low quality BS and tell them to try harder.
the user you're replying to has delightful previous comments such as "the US media is controlled by people eligible for Israeli citizenship" which is more dog-foghorn than dog-whistle

Not a question, but I just want to thank you for "inventing" review apps back in the day, the idea of having a full version of your app running for a branch was pretty game changing for the companies I worked at.

Leaving in Germany for 6 years. Moved from France. What I'll say only concern Berlin.
The interview process in startup can be more draining than that. Currently, it's more like 4 / 5 steps with (sometimes) 6+ hours homework. Yik.
60k is more for senior developers. Junior get less.
Other than that the cost of living in Germany is quite low (lower in Berlin than in the South) and it's a very nice and stable country.
You should revisit this, in the last couple of years this has moved quite a bit, I'd say it's closer to 70-75 now.
Obviously you'll get more in the states (or even frankfurt!), but it's changing rapidly.
There's also some offers in berlin for meaningfully higher, I'm just taking a ballpark average for senior.
