It’s quantity * quality. If you use one piece of software that works 99% of the time it’s great. But if you use 1000 programs a day that work 99% of the time then 10 of your programs are broken all the time. We need to figure out how to inc

Yes, you can get paid to build interesting things. But the work you will be doing is not going to be interesting. Working as part of a team with the 1000s of engineers on Uber or Office or Alexa is going to be tedious no matter how valuable

China's market is about 4x the US market. It's surprising that any of our software has remained competitive this long when competing with companies serving a captive user share 4x the size of ours. If you are in a fight and the ot

What is your allocation? Do you want more risk or less risk now? I'm worried about inflation and considering starting a business. So I'm looking at inflation hedges that are still pretty liquid. If you don't need liquidity fa

I’ve experienced something similar where after the acquisition nothing really changed for current employees but most new hires were in the Mexico office.

From DHHs prospective you added his business to a list of spam email providers and then sent him 13k emails harassing him. Since you have essentially threatened the existence of his business it’s understandable that he would respond this wa

Big tech companies, cable companies, banks, FAANG, utilities, etc. Just stay away from agencies and startups.

Sick days aren't a real solution because people only take the days that they are the most sick off. But will happily work while contagious and 'just starting' to feel sick.

The company I work for basically relies on use scripts to make any of our internal tools usable. Its kind of insane and makes on-boarding new employees somewhat difficult when they aren't even looking at the same UI as tenured people.
