Turns out the managing partners were all mixed up with the mob and the whole agency was a small time money laundering operation for illegal off-strip video poker parlours. Whole thing fell apart because of a ham sandwich, but that’s a story for another day.

Seeing as they’re in Vegas, I could totally believe this story.

Not a ton of info, but heard the owners accumulated a lot of debt and the agency lost some biz. Got to the point where they couldn’t make payroll.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
