I was overall impressed with what I saw, but when I saw the amount of classes required to achieve a simple button my jaw hit the ground at the level of commitment to BEM that bordered on what I'd consider absurd. To be fair, one could

I once had an interview with a YC company where I didn't believe React was necessarily the right fit for applications with simple DOM manipulation, like one I had worked on. I pointed out that you can outperform it when you know exactl

In the spirit of Reddit and /r/conspiracy, maybe Pao wants to be the only successful woman there, so she can make her narrative more believable that the tech world hates women by pointing out how there aren't women at Reddit.

As a heads up for others, Catalyze contacted me to see if I would relocate, prior to speaking to me at all, as they said they were prioritizing those willing to be local.

I wanted to let others know I went through the first and second part of the interview for Code Wrangler and it certainly was one of the more unique ones. The first part was a Skype text chat that lasted for over an hour. It was not like any

I just want to clarify that wasn't me who originally made that request. I ran across it while reading up on livecoding.tv awhile back. You don't see much content not served up on YouTube, unless it is a subscription or pay per vid

This is because HLS isn't universally available on desktop browsers and I assume you're using that or rtmp, which is even worse and has no real compatibility anywhere without flash. http://www.jwplayer.com/html5&#x

How many people come from companies with large exits like that? We're talking what a total of 200, 300 people tops? It seems pretty unrealistic to expect most "top talent" to be in the situation you describe.

by Akkuma 11y ago
Do you have any data that top talent tends to value equity higher than salary? All the smart guys I know favor the latter. Too many companies use it as a tool to trick the less intelligent guys that they'll make bookoo bucks despite be

Looking over PG's post it is about whether you should take equity and improving your outcome/valuation. Outcome seems vaguely defined and is used both as valuation and the chance of success. You as an employee want people to follo

Maybe I don't properly understand equity, but if two founders each take 20%, an employee pool is created with 10%, the convertible notes eat another 20%, and the seed ate 20%, this leaves 10% of shares available. How are you only going

I just had an offer that had, depending on chosen comp .1% to .17% equity with a 10k loss in salary all for an extra .07%. By the way, they have a lot of convertible notes and are pre-series A. I turned around with a counter offer/requ

This made me think that perhaps part of the reason adults seem to often be less creative than young children is due to how little movement adults often do during the day at their jobs. Maybe we've been impeding ourselves by how much mo

Thanks Pedro! I know it isn't your or landing.jobs fault at all. I like what you guys push for, unfortunately getting everyone to make the world a better place is hard. If companies abided by the golden rule everyone would be happier!

I applied on May 20, but have yet to hear anything back from Healthfinch. They did just change who the job application gets emailed to it looks like, so it is possible I was lost in the transition.
