One of my previous employers had let each new incoming VP of engineering use whatever he wanted to build out new parts of the app. With the high turnover rate they had, the app turned into the worst Frankenapp piece of crap imaginable. Si

True, it could be something other than the gluten, however it must be closely related because she does not have problems with gluten-free products. Unlike the participants of the study, I don't believe that her problem is mental. It

My 16 yr. old daughter explained to me two days ago why Twitter conversations are broken, how to fix them and that maybe we should design products together since we can do it better than Twitter or that maybe she should send them her idea.

It made me think what would happen if I were in a strength training week doing a 3-5 rep max. Even with a spotter things might turn out bad.

I'm not against H1B visas or green cards for skilled immigrants and, in fact, have great friends who fit that profile. However, considering this massive layoff, what reason could Microsoft and Bill Gates have to lobby so aggressively
