We are quite literally running out of productive things to do so we (the collective group) are all currently micro-optimizing everything we can lay our hands on. It's like a pond that's shrinking with all the fish gasping for air.

The effects we've observed so far of the wide-spread social media with regards to our social and political systems seems akin to a 5-yr old walking in on his parents having sex; old enough to be traumatized, but not old enough to succe

The nature of VC is to build portfolios. The success and failures of individual companies within that portfolio matter very little- what matters a lot more is whether the lessons learned and knowledge/IP generated can spill over to oth

What do you think about the idea of just actualizing your own potential one step at a time, rather than comparing to other "successful" people and what they do? I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just curious.

Some things that stood out to me after reading the whole thing: - Other engineers dog-piling on her first few PRs showed that there was a complete lack of trust in her, and perhaps an active distrust in her abilities. I have no comments reg

I was 20, naively unaware of the ways of the real world, and nearly overnight, I lost everything and everyone I cherished in my life. Over the next 6 months, it slowly dawned on me that those who survive and thrive are those willing to scre

TK has the unfortunate habit of leaving a trail of history of screwing his employees, and that shit stinks, and sticks. You either: Treat your employees well such that they will go to war for you because protecting your interests is as impo

Same here. Getting fired is stressful, but losing a loved one is a soul-crushing experience that will kick me into a deep depression for months. Work is a means to getting money, and curing boredom; precisely in that order. I suspect this i

Or, to put in a different thought, we are all subject to the physical realities of the world we live in, and we barter and trade what we each have with one another to better control the world itself, while being controlled by it simultaneou

In a functional society with strong leadership, people are allowed to come up short, and not suffer as a result of coming up short. The US used to be like this, and people thrived as a result. We've been heading in the opposite directi

Good leadership can have the power to stop a good amount of squabbling between teammates, simply by spreading their view point and guiding people through tough situations. You seem like a good leader. I felt more stressed after reading the
