I feel blessed too. I truly love what I do for a living and couldn't imagine it being any other way. And for that I feel extremely lucky.

I am guessing ESO Fund is going for bigger fish but maybe one day they'll target the smaller fish. Biggest problem I'm guessing is valuation but if that problem can be pushed to the two parties (the two engineers) doing the swap..

Equity is the risky bet 401k substitute (FN1). It would be great if I could trade equity with other engineers to slightly lower the risk of the "all in one company" issue. It is a myth that I can work longer or harder on demand. I

That is a joke -- people walk at different speeds. Walking in carland is enough punishment. The worst are burbias where the walk signal never comes on if you don't press a button.

I had the same experience recently. Not my cup of tea. It's almost like they want to see how poorly you do when heckled by annoying coworkers. I directly judge company culture based on the methods and attitudes of those who interview m

My experience too. I wanted a fancy heated Toto with air and such but settled for a $30 one on a whim. The heated water of the Toto units is nice but in practice it isn't a big deal. I still use toilet paper to dry though so I'm n

Is your experience based on being a potential employee or a potential employer? I spoke with them about fees and learned that their fees are lower than the average outside recruiter. Nobody likes to pay to hire but everyone does -- you eith

This is why Hired.com is interesting. I tried it after a couple rounds of interviewing where it either seemed like salary was a sticking point or the interviewees were unprepared. With Hired.com, I was able to explain my value in a context

I wish more founders had experience working in annoying corporate environments with a variety of managers (on the "good" "bad" scale) before starting a startup. I believe that would result in picking better management. A

Well commuter benefits are a law and my employer doesn't follow that law (as far as I understand, maybe there is a clause that allows some time to get that setup). I applaud the leave policy and would love to work at a company that off

The only way I can keep my MBP retina happy when using it with an external Thunderbolt display is: 1) before plugging into display, open lid and wait for login screen to appear 2) before unplugging display, open lid and wait for laptop scre

It won't be a hundred years though, it'll be one or two years and then that new increased battery life will sell another phone. So if screens increase sales now, it might make sense to focus on them with the knowledge that battery

I think most people are interested in public transportation to commute to work. I know I am and Uber/Lyft doesn't really help that situation.

I too was too harsh and I too apologize. It can be a struggle to try to convey one's thoughts about a subject while still being reasonable.

Is there a way to get the same type of JavaScript decompressor as present in Google Chrome? I know there is a plugin for this but it doesn't do the most important: when you decompress the JavaScript, the console file:line details match

So Uncle Bob talks about SOLID. There is one S there and then we have O, L, I and D. Applying SOLID is a balance of all of these things. We are craftsmen applying knowledge and skill to code. Trying to figure out SRP in isolation is not pra

You might consider pursuing an apprenticeship in Software Craftsmanship. You would likely spend 6-9 months as an apprentice and potentially end up with a full time job. There are a number of companies in a number of countries that do the SC

You don't need a CS degree to develop software. I have one but plenty of my coworkers do not. If you want to see if the work suits you without jumping right into the deep end or going back to school, see if there are any Software Craft

Same experience for me -- I couldn't justify buying Computer Shopper when pricewatch.com was far more timely. I did enjoy the column with Alice and Bob and that kept me buying it for a little while longer.
