<div class="entry-content">
<p>In 2024 you would hear the term wasm pop up now and then. It is not exactly new, but it’s gaining more traction due to wider ecosystem in recent years. Wasm stands for web assembly, essentially it’s a format that allows you to execute binaries in browser runtimes.
Imagine creating a website, and you need to implement a specific function. The problem is that it is much easier to implement this function in Go, but your website is written in typescript. This happens to be a static site, so a backend shouldn’t be necessary. You can either:

<div class="entry-content">
<p>Compensation Sometimes you need to take a pay cut in order to learn new skills. But it will pay off in the end. On the other hand, if you are paid above the market rate, when you have to move it’s probably harder because most orgs won’t offer the same compensation. Skills PM / PO / EM / Sales should understand technical stuff, as in they are aware of pros and cons of solutions being used. Bonus if they used to be an IC. “Do you need data structures and algorithms for $x” often comes up in community. Short answer is you don’t need it until you do. But most people never reach the point where they need to utilize DSA. Not because it’s obsolete, rather more of most people can get by with poorly-optimized code. Career ladder No matter how well you can perform in your current role, if you don’t have the right amount of soft skills and big-picture thinking, you can’t advance further. Most ICs who’s outgrowing their senior/technical lead roles tend to jump straight into considering that they are staff/principal engineer. This is almost always not the case, because to be a staff/principal, you still need soft skills and business acumen. You are influencing without authority after all. Most engineers are stuck at mid level, and that’s to be expected. And even less reach senior level. Less and less for technical lead and engineering manager. Some people are still mid level after 10 years in the industry, and you have to let them be. Not everyone has what it takes to advance. You would also find that some people can operate at a higher level, but it utilizes a lot of cognitive load for them, to the point they prefer to step down a level just to not lose their sanity. If you are doing your best and are the best performed member of your team - if you are not getting promoted, chances are your manager doesn’t want to lose you, because keeping you exactly where you are means your manager doesn’t have to find someone to replace you. But it can also be that you need to catch up on your soft skills. Talk to your manager to assess your skills gap. Having “senior” in the title doesn’t make someone actually operating at a senior level. It’s just a title. The same goes for “manager” as well. A lot of senior engineers by title are actually mid levels. And a lot of managers only took the job because they want more pay but don’t actually enjoy managerial duties. Roles Being a manager isn’t about attending meetings all day. Rather it’s unblocking people and making sure people get the support they need. But if they do this job well, you wouldn’t notice them at all. But if they do it poorly, you will notice their existence. Data roles can be business or tech oriented, or somewhere in the middle. No point in fighting whether a DS/DE/MLE role should be technical or business-led. Some roles are not entry-level. For instance, data engineering, data science, devops. But the caveat is that if you are joining an established team, it’s somewhat doable for entry-level. Some job descriptions for data engineering can include anything from development, ml deployment, data pipelines, visualization, etc. Some ops roles can expect anything from dev, llm experiment and deployment. This is a symptom of hiring managers not really understand roles collaboration. Because realistically no one can juggle everything at the same time. Your actual responsibilities and title may not align. It’s up to you to present your title in resume. After technical lead, one possible path is picking up management, PM and sales roles. If you have to manage but can’t understand engineers, it’s not going to work. If you have to keep the timeline in check and follow-up with people from multiple teams as a PM, not understanding the concerns from each team is not going to make your job as a PM easier. Pitching products and services to clients while not fully understand your offerings’ capabilities can cause more headaches for the engineering team, because if you promised what can’t actually be delivered, the engineering team wouldn’t want to work with you. Job change If you don’t learn something new at work for a while, maybe it’s time to move. Sometimes it’s not you, it’s them. If you want to change job because you don’t like someone at work, you probably find it’s not effective because such people can exist anywhere. Question is how are you going to handle them. Sometimes things are outside your control, and at certain point there’s no reason to fight against the current. Career change Data folks want to move to SWE. Vice versa is true. Both citing more pay on the other side. Side projects do help, but what actually happens is people copy-pasting them left and right. So unless your resume stands out, no one would look at your side projects. Even then, your side projects should be original idea. Some people want to switch career for better pay, there’s nothing wrong with it. But keep in mind the possibility that you might not be cut out for it. It can be hard to accept that you can’t switch over to a career you aimed for. The longer this keeps going, the greater cognitive dissonance. Be kind to yourself, because there are probably other things out there that you are good at. </p>

<p>There’s a consensus that generally, c is very fast, and python is very slow. But if we are talking about go and rust, you would find that rust is slightly faster than go. So from fastest to slowest: c, rust, go, python.
But what if you have go, python and rust calling c function? There would be more overhead, but how much?
