It is more well respected for CompSci in CS /Faang circles. Ask most SWEs which program is more comprehensive, most will say CMU. How many CalTech profs have won a Turing? I just looked, its half as many as CMU.

My point was while I might be special, turns out i’m not one in a million special. FAANG companies have quite a lot folks without degrees and/or weird non traditional backgrounds. So a good school is great but it doesn’t get you a good job, and not having a degree isn’t a knock against someone...

Well, I am familiar with the rankings and what people say, but I don’t have firsthand experience at either a school. And finally, I was only referring to CS, so if you got your Neuro PhD there, I wasn’t trying to knock you. As for me, what is the part that is hard to believe? That I didn’t go...

So GOOG changed and now they’re saying only 2 days in the office required but you won’t get a permanent desk if you only come in 2 days, it will be hot desking. I like working from an office (primarily), and yet somehow I keep getting on teams that are remote from me. The last 15 years, only...

? Are you trying to be a smart ass or did you not believe me?

Its a great floor plan. The way its laid out, proportioned, and the tall ceilings all make it feel bigger than it is. Crazy to think these started at what, 1.2?

Enjoy! Is the pool open yet? We love spending the summers at the community pool in baker ranch, TB does a great job with amenities.

I am only referring to CompSci. Maybe it’s reversed for everything else. What is your profession?

I’m not sure what that means. Also, in general, most people regard CMU as having a more rigorous curriculum than CalTech. It just doesn’t matter though, you have the same interview process at these tech companies regardless of your degree. You are however much more likely to get internships...

I didn’t go to college.

Keep in mind, that aside from getting internships, no one gives a shit about your degree in tech. I work at one of the top tech companies known for its pay, perks and outrageous interview process, and know people here from MIT and Stanford and also people without degrees and I can’t tell them...

This is a good example of why young people should have roommates. Would you rather live in a cramped one bedroom for $2500 a month or have “half” of a four bedroom with a patio, driveway etc. no brainer here if you can find anyone reasonable.

In a low interest rate environment yeah, housing returns are pretty close to guaranteed.

Let me know what broker can get you 5x leverage with no recourse

Because you can get better returns? A lot of investors are break even with rents and just use their leverage as an appreciation play. If you see RE staying flattish for 5 years but think TSLA is going to the moon, you sell.

My handle is a bit out dated. Also, I’ve been coding for cash since high school. So I remember the dotcom crash. Twitter is on a hiring spree btw. Think they just want to employ people for fun? Are you a PM btw?

Not true in the big tech companies. Also my RSUs have been flat at my company. You seem to be cherry picking a lot of your points.

New to the area? I’ve really enjoyed being close to the town center and Bodhi coffee is my favorite in all of OC!

I always wondered about people asking an insane amount in rent that they have no hope of getting. Is that some accounting trick where they can write off the loss, or inflate the value of their assets at the cost of cash flow?

Aah, ok then that is way less egregious in terms of price comparison. I just saw the website’s landing page where it had prices but it didn’t specify view lot. still the interiors look poor compared to so many other builders in that price range. I think having ~3500sq ft and not having a den...
