Company tiers for SWE in 2026 - yes another try (Blind)

• IkYV84 (Autodesk): I don’t get why people keep posting the so-called “tier list”, is it really important? Why does prestige even matter? Why would you care what other people think? I went from FFANG to my current company and I couldn’t be happier. The best company will always be individual specific and not some list based on someone else’s opinion.
• fscP66 (TikTok): Netflix erasure. Also Nvidia gets glazed despite paying like it’s Microsoft for SWEs 🤡
• exFrontier (xAI): Any tier list that doesn’t attempt to rank hft/quant is not serious. You lack knowledge of the world around you

He regrets the layoffs. (Blind)

• l5sn94ns (Microsoft): He also takes full responsibility.
• desRt24 (Meta): Morale inside the company is crazy down. Almost everyone is not interested in work, looking for jobs outside. So he is saying these things to gain some trust, but not working.
• finlandd (Blend): If he regrets it, he can always hire them back. But he won’t because he doesn’t actually regret the decision.

Anne Hathaway says she was spammed with ChatGPT-written thank you notes after hiring for a recent role: “Nobody on that list gets that job” (r/technology)

• Grammaton485: Dunno if anyone else had this growing up, but my parents tried to force thank-you notes into almost everything.
• procrastinarian: Imagine how much better the world would be if we all did away with all this artifice.
• Madness_Quotient: Thank you notes are inherently lies, it’s no wonder people turn to AI to relieve them of the burden of applying intelligence to the task.

• Just-Grocery-2229: Claude out here doing the heavy lifting while the human takes all the credit in prison.
• Nepalus: I think it’s definitely something that is becoming more prevalent. Worse yet, good luck trying to extradite or get to people in some of these remote places in the world. Cutting edge AI tooling in the hands of just a single rogue actor half way around the world is one thing, what happens when it’s a whole office building working in concert to attack companies, electric grids, etc?
• Icy_Yam_9951: If I ever decide to use Claude to hack a company, I’ll make sure to ask it for help improving the resume of an african guy. And replace my IP with an african one.

Grocery Stores Deploying “AI Shopping Carts” Stuffed With Cameras to Track Your Exact Coordinates and Bombard You With Ads (r/technology)

• cheesesteakhellscape: Every time it shows me an ad for something, i’m taking it out of my cart out of spite.
• Bunkerman91: The person who came up with this needs to be…well…you know. Same goes for whoever thought to put advertisements in gas station pumps. You have to be absolute filth of a person to even have those sorts of ideas in the first place.
• discgman: It will also adjust the price
