Elaborate on the boxes? This isn't the old trope by Bob Wallace about 'I sell manuals'?

You're insinuating FAANG = ad companies?

Your SSL cert is invalid? A few spelling errors if you'd like to fix 'em: "I'm Vinh, a husband, father & programming enthusiast" "I was lucky to have such a wife." If you'd like, I can just rewrit

On the fifth. I go to college and work full time. Some have been short - 4 month contract at SAS, six months at NG. It's worked out though. Liked every job more than the previous.

I'm 21. Started at Amazon, Apple, Northrop, then the largest private software firm and have wanted nothing but to exit the corporate world for a remote job at a start up. Getting closer by choosing a smaller employer that's remote

Title is misleading.

Sounds cool. Went to your website on Chrome on Android and it is buggy. I get 404s everywhere. More specific, when I click the carousel--showing SF example pay--left or right. Like I can do a better job than that.

Should be law that to hire someone and pay them equity, you must have the employee sign that they've seen the cap table. Maybe even on a yearly basis.

Disagree on B. There's always opportunity for consulting and integration. Not everyone wants to be in the cloud and not everyone can be in the cloud. And you know DBs always need tuning.

Paid via credit card? You can even reverse bank transactions. I do it plenty. Too many organizations are irresponsible.

Betting OP meant "on contract" versus a 1099 contractor. Maybe I'm wrong. If I'm not, he/she has very little say in their environment. At least that's my experience.

Have you ever seen the accounting side of this? I've previously seen accounting docs at a major defense firm I worked for. They tallied the exact dollar amount spent on each employee's square footage of office space on a monthly b

I'm starting a new role next week and that's exactly the schedule I negotiated. The mix, I think, is good on a social level. When I used to work 100% remote, I found myself walking to the grocery store just to see other people.

Is this usually someone writes a comment related to your field, you find it insightful, check their profile and it goes from there? Or is it usually started by someone's "Show HN" post? I'm sure these generalizations are

Right. HN readers call out logical fallacies well. Makes me a better analytical thinker.

You're completely right. Grabbing some Vanguard index ETF and dollar cost averaging is definitely what I (and others) should be doing. I'd bet 7% YoY over 20 years is conservative.

It certainly would have been beneficial if she had written down her financial planning and published it upon her death via her will.

I'm a 21 yo with $70k to sock away who's confused as to getting a solid 7% guaranteed year over year. But obviously that's not what's stopping us from socking away $70k at 7%.

Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft. Got it. I'm sorry, were you implying that I'm stupid? Not picking up on the implication.

Can you elaborate on the set up? How are they syncing with one another?

I think economic commentators often miss this point. Its also why I think any coming recession will leave the tech industry relatively unharmed.
