I am a lead/staff SWE at my company, and I have never looked at education level when hiring. I studied robotics in college and almost nothing I learned there applies to what I am doing now (distributed data processing and ML).

Don't get a master's degree unless there is a specific skill you want (ML, databases, networks, etc). You should be learning at work. If you are not learning at work, move on to another company.

Probably the most valuable thing you could get to give you better chances at faang or elsewhere, is a friend on the inside. A single removed will get you past all of the automated filtering that happens.

On West 11th, next to radar toys, is a little ice cream place. Super cheap. I think you can get frozen chocolate covered bananas for like $2

Yum! Yeah definitely saving this for the zucchini harvest

Instead of concrete, I recommend gravel. You can find many guides online for "fence post with gravel". It is easier, better for the environment, and easier uninstall later.

Graphql federation could help unify these services behind a single API.

These are for a different purpose. Suppose you wanted to figure out what lawnmower you should buy. You can prompt these to find the best lawnmower in your budget, for your lawn style, acreage, etc. And it could iteratively search the internet, comprehend reviews and guides, and come up with a good answer for you.

They can do more than that. But the idea is that you give it some high level goal, and then agent decides what the substeps of that goal is, and then executes them. And repeats.

Yes please! I am frustrated by this.

I tried that, and it got some error about "secure connection"

I found one solution. At least it works for WSJ. Firefox has a "reading mode" button next to the url. That seems to bypass the paywall

Congratulations! Our raspberries haven't ripened yet, but we are very excited.
