Hi *******,

I came across your background and wanted to reach out to discuss a new role we're working on. We partner with Elon Musk and our SVP of Engineering for our engineering leadership searches.

We are looking for someone to lead all Cloud Engineering at Tesla. At a senior leadership level we are looking for someone with a proven track record in defining, building, and scaling cloud platforms and other large distributed systems. Building this at Tesla will allow us to scale Model 3 (and beyond), to optimize OTA updates, to monitor the supercharger network in real-time, to vastly improve autopilot, build our ride sharing program, Tesla Music, and a host of other extremely interesting and technical programs. By doing this in house we will have complete control over long-term engineering decisions and develop cloud engineering as a core competency at Tesla.

One particularly interesting aspect of this role is this person will be responsible for not only growing the team, but also defining the long-term technical direction of Cloud which will impact many other teams given how they all interact with one another. Getting the Cloud team there will start with hiring a great leader and we expect this team to grow by a factor of 8x over the next couple years.

Please let me know if you’d be open to having an introductory call!

working with ole musky directly that sounds great!1

yeah i think you guys are right. i was hoping i could line up in-person interviews more easily by waiting a bit, but i’m just going to start now and if people move faster than expected oh well.

Sorry this breaks down a bit through external recruiters. They will 100% lowball you to the company and even if you refuse to give them a number they'll make up a low one for you. gently caress external recruiters.

The principle is still sound though so we'll see. They'll have a number in mind before talking to the recruiter

Hoowfully it works out, I told the external recruiter a pretty high number and he said "they should have the budget for that", for comparison i have told the same number to many other rando external recruiters and they tell me to politely gently caress off

Hi OWLS!

I love your background I am searching for a talented DevOps Leader for with my rapidly growing PAAS client to sit in either Downtown, [City] or [Other City], [State]. Your experience with [Misspelled name of current employer] and [Previous employer] seems right in line with whatmy client is searching for!

To explain further, my client’s Cloud based Web and Mobile PAAS already has a strong customer base on the platform with top industry investors. Due to this growing demand, they have an aggressive growth strategy to continue scaling the platform and team ASAP. This is a key hire on the tech team, and along with a competitive base salary and bonus, this position will also offer Equity!

My client is transitioning into hyper-growth mode, so this person will be responsible for designing, maintaining, and monitoring the whole infrastructure, automation, and CICD pipeline as their application grows 100-1000x in size over the next 12-24 months. This is a great opportunity for an experienced DevOps Engineer looking for a new challenge where you can take your acquired skills and apply it towards owning a project to build out an entire DevOps strategy and CICD pipeline. You will have creative autonomy to contribute ideas to technology selections and architectural design, routinely reviewing technology trends to identify potential value of new tools, frameworks, and patterns. The entire applicaiton is containerized and distributed through Docker, deployed on Docker Swamr, and Digital Ocean is the infrastructure Provider. They are using the Atlassian stack, Jira, and Maven as well.

I would love to share further details with you regarding the team, opportunity, and platform. Would you have some time for an exploratory call to discuss this further? You can also reach me at the office at [Redacted].

The level of word salad has certainly reached hyper-growth mode

sometimes descriptiosn like that are written by a dev to subtly warn people away. i saw an example in amazon warehouse software, something like "do you want to create OCR systems for our warehouse inbound processes on a bespoke application stack without using any pre-existing recognition technology? then this is the job for you!"

What is a single page application? What are some advantages and disadvantages of implementation?

me posted:

A single page application basically a JavaScript application that is delivered via a web page.
The main advantage is that access to your application is as easy as opening a web page so users don't have to install anything or worry about updates.
The main disadvantage is JavaScript.

You compared SPAs with native apps but I think they're probably asking you to compare SPAs with a "conventional" website where most interactions cause an entire new page load.

Actually now I think about it I'm not sure what they wanted you to compare SPAs with.

"if you were to make a new single page app what frameworks would you recommend?"

"when debugging a single page app what tools do you usually use?"

react with redux for state management if necessary. debugging using chrome dev tools + react/redux extensions.

this smells like a full stack or front-end position. are you sure you want that?

you kind of said why a web app is better than a desktop app

what they are getting at (i think) is why a single page application (your server probably only has 1 url route defined to index html, this loads your single page app, the rest of the routing is handled by your javascript app on the front end and page transitions are just ajax calls and front end changes, its not *really* changing to a new page, no additional server side rendering) is better than a traditional web app (like something awful, where every new page is being rendered and delivered by the server instead)

I've used it, but usually lovely frameworks force you to cast half your poo poo to Any half the time anyway.

I'm using react and redux without typescript.

on one hand react and redux are amazing and make some previously hard problems much easier.

on the other hand I'm having to use the debugger a fuckton more because my group makes all kinds of objects containing all kinds of data and the only way I know what's inside them is by actually looking at an object.

we generally don't have many issues with developers doing stupid things like assigning two different types to the same variable but I definitely feel like it's harder to reason about some complex objects since they're not defined anywhere.

typescript has made a few of my node modules way easier to maintain and generally more pleasant to work with

react has become my preferred framework for front end web stuff. I've been curious how well it plays with typescript, but so far i haven't felt a pressing need to combine them

angular still sucks
