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

Golang - Arbitrary JSON Array Parsing and Type Switch

##Golang Type Switch - Arbitrary JSON Array Parsing I'm writing this mostly as a reference for myself. This could also be helpful to people who are new to GO.

####Note 1: Until Problem 3 we will assume we are dealing with a JSON for which we know the data types of key,value pairs. Only in Problem 3 we will look at how Type Switch is used to parse a 100% arbitary JSON

####Note 2: I know the following examples given here can be easily solved by declaring approprite structs and just decoding the PUT JSON into them, but, as im not able to come up with a better scenario, im going to stick with this to explain arbitrary JSON parsing.

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
