I can't believe that.
That amazon does it, ok.
But he as a single person? 216 Million a day and 6,48 US-billions or german-milliarden a month? That can't be correct.
150k a day (4,5 millions a month)... that is something I could believe.

After a little googling...
Amazon's gross profit for the three months ending in June 2020 was US$ 22.5 billion (German milliard) dollars, which works out to US$ 250 million a day. Jeff Bezos owns 11% of Amazon stock, so his share of the gross profit would be US$ 27.5 million a day. This works out to about US$ 1,145,000 per hour, or US$ 19,000 per minute.
Note that this is gross profit, not net income, so he probably earns US$ 15,000 per hour from his Amazon stock. Add to that his income from salary, bonuses, other investments, etc.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yes. But companies don't pay employees from their profits. Salaries are part of the company's expenses and are funded by the company's revenues and any line of credit or debt the company holds.

My point was that Bezos is not only an employee; he's also a major shareholder. As such, the a portion of the profits can be credited to him.
(Yes, I know it's not that simple, but all we want is a rough figure anyway.)

Still a way until 150k / minute.
And other investments are not Salary.

That's not how companies work.

I've always wondered what Mark Zuckerburg earned 
And I wonder why they haven't added me to the list yet 
"It will take Sander Rossel 2.3 years to earn your annual salary"

It's not that bad, luckily
In fact, I just checked if I'm among the 1% and I'm not doing too bad (still a looooong way to go for the 0.1% though) 
Also, we don't really know how big the giant squid is, their "mantle" (the squid minus it's tentacles) could be anywhere between approx 3 m and 27 m 
I found that nugget of information while searching for the 1% incomes, go figure.

Can't be bothered looking at the link as I know it is wrong, it is conflating Amazon's stock price with Bezos' "earnings". Bezos earns $80k a year in salary, plus some other in other income but nothing like $150k/m.

That's putting it mildly!

Every developer needs to find (and fix) bugs. But how can you squash a bug you don’t know how to find? For when you have to fix someone else's code, of course

Prayer, meditation, Tarot cards, crystal balls.
Oh wait, this isn't the psychic forum.
I'm surprised the author didn't mention the #1 reason for not being able to find the bug: the information the customer or tech support person provided for reproducing the bug is inaccurate or inadequate, which translates to the skill set: learn how to ask for better information.
And the #2 skill should be: learn how to use the debugger. It astounds me how many so-called programmers I've worked with haven't a clue how to use the debugger - even setting a breakpoint is "wow, I didn't know you could do that!" Yes, I've actually heard that said.
And the #3 skill should be: look at the data, not the code. Garbage in, garbage out.
[edit]
And my coworker just added #4: Is it actually a bug?

Harqen's AI platform analyses language to determine a candidate's suitability for a role, potentially making it less prone to bias than video-based recruitment technology. "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."
It couldn't be worse than some recruiters, could it?
Could it?

I don't think recruiters use any kind of intelligence 
My LinkedIn profile clearly states "No recruiters!" and guess who shows up!
Some recruiter from Italy, India or the UK, offering me a job on the other side of the country for a technology I have zero experience with.
I especially like the questions "maybe you want a change?" or "are you still enjoying your work?"
If you could read you'd know I have my own company since about a year!
Zero chance of me just throwing that away because they have "an awesome job in [two hour commute single trip] requiring my [technology I don't know] skills"

I'm wary of using software to manage people, as it turns into abuse of employees. Productivity tracking software can be used to overwork people for example. This one could possibly screen out candidates with autism/aspergers for example or have some other nasty side effect, and that's not to mention how creepy and orwellian it is. It sounds dangerous because it is. Humans are social animals. Start replacing that interaction with machines as the "opportunity" presents itself, and my first thought is that if done on a large enough scale with enough of our lives, people will start to go mad. We need people.
I'm probably just being paranoid though.

Today we are excited to introduce a new open source project, Open Service Mesh (OSM), which is a lightweight and extensible service mesh that runs on Kubernetes. Because your old mesh had too many holes in it
Bonus marks to anyone that can explain what it does and/or why I should care in words I can understand.
from the article: OSM provides a control plane compatible with the SMI specification, to preserve user choice. Next, OSM uses Envoy for the data plane, due to strong community momentum around Envoy. And finally, the overriding philosophy behind OSM features a “no cliffs” design in order to make OSM flexible enough to handle both simple and complex scenarios using both SMI and programming Envoy xDS APIs directly.
isn't doing it for me.

But they were smaller than the current ones... weren't they?
