news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 23:32:47

“We only want to hire the best engineers” I hear this from almost every client I speak to. So does every other recruiter. Seriously - just say those eight words to any room full of recruiting people, and everyone will give a wry chuckle and roll their eyes. We've all heard it a million times. “We only want to hire the best engineers.” No. No, you do not. The best engineers make more than your entire payroll. They have opinions on tech debt and timelines. They have remote jobs , if they want

Slate Auto provided flights from San Francisco to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and accommodation so Ars could visit the Slate factory. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. WARSAW, INDIANA—The Blank Slate pickup scratches a particular itch for some, fulfilling the desire for an EV powertrain without all the bells and whistles associated with a modern vehicle. Gone is the infotainment screen, the lane-keeping assistance, and, for those concerned about surveillance, a modem. Instead, it's an unpain

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-21 03:26:03

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) said this week that its reverse stock split, which will consolidate shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price, is not a move to avoid being delisted.
