Pretty much the title. I joined a startup and recently and we had a round of layoffs. Now, people who I used to meet daily, during standups and lunch are not around anymore. We've been "promised" that there won't be layoffs for the rest of the year, but I'm not banking it.

I'm already an anxious person by nature, but this is making me pretty nervous and very distracted at work.

What do I do? I understand this is a tradeoff of being in a startup, but the anxiety definitely isn't helping.

Thanks HN.

Title basically. I wonder if there are examples of service or internet outages killing products or apps? Thanks!

Hello HN! I recently started a new job that pays pretty well, which means I save way more than what I need.

I wanted to know how I should be saving my income? I have some savings in a high-yield savings account, and just opened a Roth-IRA as well. Apart from this my company offers an HSA account, that I've opted for, for the triple tax benefits. I've put very little money in stocks as well, but not a chunk of my monthly earnings.

What should I be looking into to maximize my savings? Should I just put most of my money into high-yield savings and max out my Roth?

Thanks!

Hey HN! I'm starting my first "real" job in a 50ish employee startup.

To be honest, I'm terrified of multiple things:

1. Why did they pick me, that too in one of the worst job markets? I'm sure they had tons of better/experienced people to hire.

2. What if I don't live up to their expectations?

3. I've always had trouble drawing the line between work and personal life, how do I balance this?

I'd love any perspectives on this situation, or even anecdotes of when you started a new job at a new-ish startup.

Thanks HN!

Pretty much the title. I've been interested in ML Sys for a long time, but did not have the time to dive in deep because of grad school.

I graduate in a month, and decided to take a stab at this again once I have a bit of free time on my hands. So, for folks already involved in MLOps and Sys ML, how do I start learning about it?

For context, I work in robotics, specifically learning. I have experience working with ML frameworks like PyTorch and TF, and more recently even Lightning.

Looking forward to hearing back from folks!

Pretty much the title. I occasionally forget that both Heroku and Slack are owned by Salesforce. Is there any particular reason why Salesforce does not try and integrate them closer into their platform/brand identity? Other acquistions that come to mind are Google acquiring products like YouTube, integrating it with Google+ login back in the day, Microsoft with Skype, Facebook with Oculus/WhatsApp/Instagram. Any reason why Salesforce treats its acquisitions "differently"?
