Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Weekend Dev Puzzle

Some time between 2021-22, I ran a list of puzzles designed to push developers into developing a better understanding of the technologies they use on a day to day basis. Each puzzle is designed to be fun, provocative, and short.

This is a complete list of those puzzles. Each link takes you to the tweet where I first posed the problem. If you like any of them, please feel free to share with others.

Edit (2024-01-27): Adding other puzzles to this 2024 onwards. Criteria:

1. Problem statement should be understandable by most in s/w tech, even if the ability to figure it out may not be.
2. Thinking about the problem should lead to clearer understanding of some foundational concept.
3. Should be short.
4. Should be fun to ponder over.
