Good job on the comp haul. You made exactly the right call staying considering the options were only 40%! Feel free to ignore my points about making yourself useful if that will disturb the status ka'ching quo. Thanks for the civil con

I pretty much try to look at every issue from what I could've done better viewpoint - doing the same here. So no offense: - as a small company CEO, you get less leeway in terms of who you can hire. So there is a high chance his hands w

Why do you think those bad managers were hired and how would you have avoided the same mistakes?

Once upon a time, I used to rage when driving. Then I remember traveling with another person who I consider equally / more passionate and someone cut us off. This guy didn't even notice and kept our conversation going. Obviously I

I spent about 7 years at MS and 7 in amazon - mostly around databases. Now I have been with Snap for about 3 years and it has been going great. My reasons were: - Agility. Snap moves 10x faster than amazon/ms. - Small size. Our dev com

I personally have lost about 75 - but that was fueled by a cycling habit. (FWIW any regular cardio helps big time because you can expand your caloric needs to 2500 or so easily and have a reasonable meal instead of pure leaves diet that lea

I would contest the conflation of financial security with loss aversion / primal urges: - Loss aversion for me for physical goods is today defined by value of the item relative to my income. I probably won't fret over losing a wat

I wrote a blog about addressing this a while ago: https://www.subu.io/post/176259843689/one-step-from-the-farm Granted I have a greater than normal calorie burn right now, it still has been an amazing switch to mo

For that goal sure. For life, I am sure s/he has moved goalposts like we do :) I have a reverse question for you though: has this kind of questioning worked out fine for you till now in real life? An unwanted tip fwiw: it comes across

So is $5 a latte. But seeing how Starbucks is doing - you can figure how this market will play out. The initial amount is steep - but I wouldn't be surprised if lease plans show up very soon.

Adding some context since you said you have no idea: This is actually a huge market: Biking outside is dangerous/exposed/has real terrain that may not be amenable for your current intervals etc. It works when you do it for commute

I just checked and the export to camera roll option is still there. Did you try that to share with grandma/pa?

This is great news, when I was with dynamo, FoundationDB was the other green shore for me :). They did so many things so well. A tiny bit of caution for folks trying to run systems like this though: It is frigging hard at any reasonable sca

- are you asserting working hard is the same as being highly productive? - are you asserting that people not contributing continuously/coasting by is not a thing or is only marginal or fringe? - what is in your opinion the difference b

by SubuSS 8y ago
Let me try to address your points in general since I assume the question is whether productivity is worth 'pedestalizing'? Even if you forget about the impact to company / society / civilization and focus simply on yours

For me personally diets that switch between what I eat never work. My wife is an amazing cook, she cooks for fun more than as a sustenance which means there is always amazing stuff to eat around the house. The only things I HAVE been able t

It is not usually about the employer, more about your management chain. Yeah the company might have laid you off / have made bad moves, but the question is do you want to leave a bunch of your co-workers in shit without enough knowledg

I don't know how many non-tech people you hangout with - but these are over reaches: - That it's wrong to judge using school etc. when you have no other way of judging. For example, if I give you a choice of a cardiologist from ho

Anecdotes are a problem only if someone is using them to arrive at generality/scientific explanation out of it. In this case - the research is already done, people are just identifying with that.

I am fine with choosing a 'loner' path, but the hitch comes when they want civilization / society to come to rescue whenever they feel like it or are in danger or stuck etc. I did and do pride myself for being able to be on m

I live for the kind of vacation you describe. Almost everyone I take, I do get my family with me (so not exactly solitude), but freedom to do what I want is the main chase there. But do give bandwidth to the 'everyone' you talk ab

Did your family setup etc also change around this time? I have an unsubstantiated belief that age / family etc affects this. As you add up more commitments, you start having to work with / for others meaning a lot of overlap time

I don't know if anyone cares at this point, but I did google around and found an app called Patook that's for this: I didn't dig further than play around, but it is something others might want to check out! FYI.

It is very interesting to read all these comments: I am trying to see why the 'social' networks aren't able to fill this gap of camaraderie (assuming that's what people are looking for when they say friendships). What ar

It is a relationship and like any relationships, it takes a ton of time and energy to nurture and grow. It won't be fair to the other person if I don't have one or other. I have a family, a heavy cycling habit and a demanding job:

Might be a very dumb sounding answer but money is usually where it is: Pay well and you will magically have them :) Even though I haven't really considered pure remote jobs, I have always at least peeked at recruiter mails that come in

IMO the reason social took off is that everyone bought into the idea. That means you want people from all walks of life be a part of it and possibly fund it via the folks who are willing to pay for it: Take strava for example. The equivalen

I like how so many comments here are looking down on candy crush (or fb or whatever) but are totally ok with 'self improvement' / 'learning' etc. IMO - The latter is also mental clutter: There is a limit to # of inf
