An Amazon Programmer's Perspective (http://pastebin.com/BjD84BQ3)
Originally posted at http://pastebin.com/BjD84BQ3
Trigger warning: mention of suicidal ideation
tl;dr: I burned out as a developer at Amazon at the end of my second year. I’ve since found a healthy and sustainable work-life balance and enjoy work again. I write this to A) raise awareness, especially for new-hires and their families, and B) help give hope and advice to people going through the same at Amazon or other companies.
There’s been no shortage of anecdotes, opinions, and rebuttals regarding Amazon’s corporate culture as of late. I write this not to capitalize on the latest news-feed fad, but to share what I had already written and promptly deleted. I didn’t think anyone would want to hear my story, but it’s apparent people are going through a similar experience and don’t have a voice.
I’m a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon; SDE II basically means a software developer with at least 2–3 years of industry experience. I started at Amazon as an SDE I.

A badass list of frontend development resources I collected over time.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git
Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Squash the first two commits in a git repository's history
I like Rdio and linux. Rdio works great in a browser except for one thing: keyboard shortcuts!!!
When coding, I like to be able to play/pause my music quickly, meaning I don't want to switch windows. I figured out a way to do this:
First, I made a file in my ~/bin called rdio that runs:
google-chrome --app=http://rdio.com
Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it
Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
