You don't know what would have happened to you at Microsoft. Anyone could be a billionaire if he had a (unique) time machine. And what would have happened to Visix?

The hardest part is making sure no one finds out about all them, and that information doesn't leak between those discreet tasks. Indiscretions are killer.

First thing Google would do is ruin the UI in the name of "unification" with Plus. Second thing they would do is kill off all the nonfree features and support only the ad-supported use case. Third thing they would do is congratulate the exe

Where is a two day delay for delivery "fail". There is no incompatibility with agile planning. You don’t go on vacation every time a job runs, you work on another project.

You are conflating "evil" with "unprofitable" and obviously missing the point as a result. Also, you can opt out of ad targeting, not tracking. Huge difference.

I have worked with more female coders than over-40s. Maybe the industry is changing, and that change is visible at younger companies with younger staff. Also, minorities tend to congregate in supportive environments, so you will find a bimo

It is learning code. Think back to the first eight hours of coding of your entire life. It was probably copy-pasting stuff you didn't really understand from a magazine or a web page and watching some colors flash or text scrolling down. It

Warren Buffet made his first significant money through research and basically anonymous buying and selling. He was an original quant. He isn't an executive of the sort that signs deals and negotiates and clawed his way to the top socially.
