My name is Prasanna, who previously founded Rippling (worth $10B); I'm going through a divorce. I'm now on the run from the Chennai police hiding outside of Tamil Nadu. This is my story.

I used to work for a FAANG company. The reason for this is that you can hire 3 Indian Senior's at the cost of 1 US Senior. Post COVID, every org was underfunded in terms of budget and it was the leadership decision to cheapen out. One should ask, why is Big Tech doing this?
All Big Companies are putting Foreign Indians before American Workers. If we don’t stop them, no one will. Foreign H1-B Indians are putting India First. It’s time for Americans to put American Workers First. #EndH1B #EndOPT

Started reading DDIA or "Designing Data-intensive applications" I used to think it was an insane book way above my level. I am 1.5 chapters in and it seems tractable. Not insane. Not impossible.

Why do Web3 companies have total shit Web2 components? Why is the api so slow? Why is frontend rendering so slow?

5/n: 2 remote jobs are not scalable. I did it. While not an issue, it does take up all my time giving me no time to explore my curiosities. Hence, going forward - One should be a money-time trade. [Trying to maximize this currently] - Others should be scalable.
