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

What is Avro?

Parsing the ga4gh API requires you first to understand what is Avro.

Avro is a project that allows you to

• formaly declare and define data structures (schemas in Avro) to be later used in different languages.
• store data in a file
• fetch data from a file

1. Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.
   • Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.
2. Make a copy of the database using pg_dump
   • $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
   • you will be asked for postgressql password.
   • a dump file(.sql) will be created
3. Restore that dump file to your local database.
   • but you might need to drop the database and create it first
   • $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>

• the database is restored

If you haven’t worked with JavaScript in the last few years, these three points should give you enough knowledge to feel comfortable reading the React documentation:

• We define variables with let and const statements. For the purposes of the React documentation, you can consider them equivalent to var.
• We use the class keyword to define JavaScript classes. There are two things worth remembering about them. Firstly, unlike with objects, you don't need to put commas between class method definitions. Secondly, unlike many other languages with classes, in JavaScript the value of this in a method [depends on how it is called](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Jav
