One of the arguments in favor of the "schools bad" argument (or perhaps against?) is that there's a wide, wide variance in the quality of schools. The author alludes to this with respect to people. He suggests that some of hi

I really love LaunchDarkly as a company. The feature set is solid and has served us really well, and from the outside, the culture seems fantastic. Their sales and partner success teams were much more responsive than competitors. We're

We are using Clickhouse Cloud at our company and the speed at which it serves up data is mind-blowing to our team, which had been using older systems for almost 10 years. Congrats on the public beta, and we can't wait to see what comes

I think we're still talking past each other. In both of your comments, you seem focused on the particular site with the 2FA. I'm suggesting that that vector is irrelevant. I'm not concerned about someone hacking this site w

You should probably read the rest of that paragraph. It specifically starts off with "this may seem overly deferential," and then goes into explaining it in more detail about what exactly they meant. The way I read it, it's n

Director-level here. Given enough notice (let's say weeks, not days -- but hopefully you have months of notice!), I will figure something out. This is not your problem -- it's my problem. I always encourage people taking mat/

When I worked at my first startup, I worked probably 10-12 hour days. I would show up at 8am and and work until 8pm, with a 15-30 minute lunch break to one of the nearby restaurants. One day my boss put me on support engineer duties (I supp

We do something very similar. I make about 2x what my partner makes, and our joint expenditures are divided up similarly. We don't feel the need to get approval to buy whatever we want with our own income, but we also happen to be rela

I read about 60-70 books per year, predominantly fiction. I'm currently halfway through _Jade War_ by Fonda Lee, and after that I'll read the third book in that series. Up next would be either Joe Abercrombie's _First Law_ se

I would get in the habit of practicing talking about your experiences and your projects and your passions on a regular basis -- not just while job searching! Being able to speak confidently about yourself and your accomplishments will get y

I use Scrivener for writing fiction (novel-length, usually). It's really really good. There are a few features I wish they had, and I wish the UI was a little cleaner and easier, but for the most part, I really really enjoy using it. I

I think percentage commissions aren't a great idea for buyers and sellers. An agent helping you buy a $2M house gets a 2.5% commission of $50,000, but they aren't really doing $40,000 more work than helping buy a $400K house. The

In my experience, most successful people (and by extension, people who run successful companies) don't really know why they were successful and often attribute it to their own actions (eg, I write great code), rather than luck or netwo

That's a fun question. I'm not entirely sure. The only feature request I would have is maybe a few more hints or links to documentation. I'm learning Rust and tackling the Redis challenge, and I got stuck on one point because
