As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.
Rust relies on a linker being installed (hopefully this will change). There is a lot of Rust libraries that are c wrappers and therefore you will need C compiler installed.
Zig on the other hand ships with everything I need to buy from one host to multiple targets out of the box.
I’ve been making a project in zig 0.16 with Claude as a learning experiment. It’s a fairly non trivial project (BitTorrent compliant p2p downloader for model weights on top of huggingface xet) - whenever it doesn’t know the syntax or makes errors, it literally reads the standard library code to understand and fix it. The project works too!
I’ve honestly had consistently the opposite experiences for general questions. Also for images, Gemini just hallucinates crazily. ChatGPT even on free tier is giving perfectly correct answers, and I’m on Gemini pro. I canceled it yesterday because of this
No, unfortunately remote from India is not an option for these roles.
However we do have Engineering Manager and Software Engineer II roles open to India based engineers. They're also listed here: https://www.arcadia.com/careers
This is the exact problem I’ve been dealing with lately. As a dad of a toddler, can’t find any time for deep work for personal work. And that’s probably okay since family does take priority. Good strategies though, thanks.
All the classes (intro and advanced) are online, as well as presentations and lectures about industry products.
They are very useful.
Also, from a more high level theoretical CS and less physical-implementation focused POV, the "Alice" book ("Foundations of Databases") is amazing (though very dense and mathematical). Focuses on the relational algebra and Datalog (and the translation of that into the Rel Algebra). Getting print copies is hard now (my used copy arrived with a broken spine and pages falling out), but the entire book is online: http://webdam.inria.fr/Alice/
Your experience in building the startup is highly valuable. If you're going to look for a job, you will be most likely asked architectural and system design related questions, with Data structures and algorithms problems for screening at some places. You will easily find a well paying job with your experience and portfolio, don't worry.
Hell, if they managed to muddle along at a startup for seven years (that is, it took seven entire years before it failed) they've probably picked up enough to be super valuable in non-programming roles. SEO, UX, (perhaps especially) product owner / strategist or (maybe) project manager. With that experience I think they're Doing It Wrong if they shoot for a software dev position, unless that's just really where they wanna be. They ought to consider agencies that have people in those roles (product strategist especially) if all else fails. Some are quite good.
Bonus: interviews for those positions are probably less stupid.
Agreed. A product owner or a product manager is what people in OP's position usually go for. And they draw very high salaries from what I've seen. Companies must desperately want people in OP's position.
I've found podcasts to be incredible tools to induce sleep. It's very difficult to stay awake for me while listening to any podcast or audiobook. I really don't know how people do it.
