I'm pretty sure 85% of the people I interviewed with didn't read my resume and my education never came up.

It's more of a file system issue. At least in my case it is. For reasons I don't know Docker interacts with the file system much much slower on Macs than natively. All of the time I mentioned is loading a Rails app before it can run the first test. That takes 100 times longer through Docker. Once it's up and running performance is fine.
Ah good to know. When I'd go in to move the dock back the settings would still show it on my main monitor so I figured it was a bug.
I (forcibly) switched to Mac's about 9 months ago. Here's my thoughts:
(1) It just works is total bullshit. Multiple times a day I accidentally move my dock to a different one of my monitors and have to go into settings and move it back. At least once a week I turn it on and it doesn't detect one of my monitors.
(2) Its a different work flow. It expects one window open per monitor and for you to switch windows. It doesn't natively support snapping or tiling.
(3) Docker is unusuably slow. Our tests natively take a few seconds to load the app and start running. In Docker it was 2-3 minutes.
(4) Compatibility is a pain in the ass. Yes you can run things emulated but then everything is emulated within that terminal session. Switching back and forth is annoying.
I could go on but the bottom line is that Linux is way better. It may be more fiddly to get running right but once it does it stays running right. At least in my experience.
IMHO there's no point to a mac as a developer. These days everything I use is electron or web based. Similarly the code you write is almost always going to run either on Linux or in an electron like cross OS environment.
All that said, the M1 Macs are a fantastic piece of hardware. Silent, the battery lasts forever, and the design is on point.

Anyone got a TLDW?
5. Get a ticket in your backlog to reduce logging because you've blown through your annual Datadog budget and it's only May.
I think I'd pay for a prime^2 membership for an Amazon without all of the bullshit.
It's not even really correlated. The timing is off. Teen Social Media usage exploded in the early to mid 2000s and all the bad trends started 2010 or later.
Plus, it was a seismic event. We went from little social media in 2000 to ubiquity by 2010. We should have seen one big rise to a new steady state not a continually increasing problem.

Small programming challenges that companies use to gauge your coding ability.
That's assuming you want to write code. If you want a different role then it's not needed.
>I’ve been running my recording studio for the last 15+ years since graduating from college. I’ve produced numerous major label hip-hop artists from the Wu-Tang Clan, to Rick Ross, to Nas. I’ve finally reached a crossroad. The industry isn’t as stable as it once was, and I’m looking to transition my career. Throughout my professional music career, and since I was a kid learning piano, I always built my own PCs, set up Linux servers for fun, coded websites and tinkered away. Do you have some time to chat about any opportunities you may have?
^ Send that to every music related tech company you come across. They'll pretty much all be interested at some level.
Edit to add: Take a go at some leetcode problems. If you can do the easy ones & make a reasonable effort at medium then you're good enough to get hired. If not practice until you can.
You don't really say why you're frustrated. What stage of the process are you getting rejected at?
>I don't have much experience being on the other end and actually dealing with misbehaving children
I do and managing young kids on a long road trip is war. You do what you can to survive and try not to feel too bad about it after.
Because a 1% chance of turning the company around is better than a guaranteed slow bleed to insolvency.
Still more debt free graduates today than total graduates in the 50s/60s.
I always wonder about people that post things so divorced from reality. We have five times as many college grads today as we did in 1960:

Is there a how to or any documentation you followed to do this? I wanted to do something where I consumed all the messages but didn't really see how in my brief documentation reading.

>In a 12 foot diameter pipe that water would be moving at about 56 miles per hour. In a 24 foot diameter pipe, 28 mp
That isn't right. Doubling diameter should drop flow rate to 1/4. Area scales with the square of the diameter.
These suggestions are pretty weak. Mostly boil down to making better stuff for cheaper. Which is obvious and something everyone is trying.
IMHO, Netflix is the classic .com company where they think they can do everything better than the incumbents. That's true when there is a paradigm technology shift (internet ordering and then streaming). But it's almost never true when you're talking about core competencies.
