I may be the anomaly here but, I honestly think it's kinda cool. Does it cause competition? Absolutely, but I think healthy competitiveness helps us create amazing innovations. I mean come on...a self-driving taxi? That's pretty cool if you ask me,

uplifting

I know it's an odd take for someone in tech, but I feel like it's way too soon for self-driving. I wish all that R&D money would go towards revamping public transport so that personal transport was an option rather than a necessity in more cities.

Lyft here. I'm not concerned. 😏

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

How much time do you spend alone during the weekends ? I usually don’t like being alone, so I try to plan something with my friends and feel sad if I don’t have any plans.

Am I weird ?

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

What’s up with this trend of hiring managers rejecting developers who don’t have FAANG experience on their resume?
