I don’t think it’s impossible either. I think most early stage startup people do a mix of everything there and it doesn’t have to stop early stage. However, I do feel like actually being insightful and competent in so many domains of knowle

I did a little read through again and noted down my thoughts. This is mostly in relation to my view that a single person ... would have trouble, with filling all these roles within the 8 hours given per day and under the assumption that he

All the startups I have worked with in the recent years have had a product person. It was a full time job that was mostly focused on the customers and how to deliver value within the constraints given by engineering and business. Product de

Oh, here’s the recipe, I read some more blog articles on how to talk to people, and some more on how to pester people on the hallway to ask about stuff they might not care about, sprinkle some salt and pepper and this is me, the 10x product

I relate to your point of view and vented my frustration at the article. You mention companies fostering and rewarding and I wholeheartedly agree. But not just engineers, anything that creates value for the customer. I believe that the be

Of course I am not going to argue with the person behind the article as the simplest explanation is that I misread, misunderstood, misjudged etc. However, I will ask you three questions to clarify this for me, of course optional: 1 - Do you

This might sound like a rant, it probably is but I’m sick and tired of articles that create this perfect personna, meddle in theory but behave like they’re sprouting truths. The ninja rockstar developer, the amazing product guy... I could w

I love the initiative of transparency for the fund, I really appreciate the manual and it’s a crazy trove of insights for potential owners. That being said, I dislike the experience of going to Github for the info, clicking a link, having a

They scrape top results and show it directly in a box (think wikipedia, imdb, lyric engines etc.) thus discouraging users from actually clicking the link. Personally, I think it’s nice to have the content instantly available and not having

I was working for a project with a small company in Scandinavia. For those unaware, Scandinavia as a region in Europe is very much pro socialist policies and pro work-life balance. We got two consultants from the US of A and that was a hell

This is taking what the poster above you said, hammering it into your own world view and then accusing him of a misunderstanding of civilization. > A civilization or civilisation is any complex society characterized by urban development,

I agree that developers should be given a lot more space then they are given today however: - I think it should be constant, not a day every now and then; - I think it should be in the context of their current work; - I think it should be a

I don't really get what I got out of this article... tl;dr; US news outlets use the term 'oligarch' more when talking about Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern Block countries.

I’ve also had the misfortune of working with an early startup that as soon as it got a series A hired a team of career managers on board. The product plummeted soon after, product market fit got lost as the direction became more and more po

What a sad way to hammer someone’s view of his profession based on a comment. > You can’t get them up front because no one has any idea what we are looking for. Is this requirement implementation or R&D? While it’s understandable for

This is not a discussion I intend to extend, especially in the context of this silly article. I will say that you can write whatever the hell you want on the internet and the reach you'll get will probably be the free pass or not, it&#

I think though it got upvoted, I’m not sure this piece should be taken so seriously by the commenters. It’s a play on taking some ballpark similiarities and making it seem like Apple 2019 and Linux 2000 are alike. Some might enjoy it, some

I base my opinions on a multitude of factors including and with giving great importance to what is being said. It’s easier for me to identify a lie from what is said and done at the source than from some 3rd party conspiracy machination.

I wholeheartedly agree, but this is a community where I would like to see less politics. Outside of forums, I am involved in the low scale politics of where I live because, as that one person said, I like to at least have a say in the way I

For me it does. For me it does as a major part of my opinion forming mechanism is actually listening to the official declaration of countries regarding matters of importance to me. Is there a reason why you are asking me these questions? Sh

What's the alternative though? Politicians are elected by the people to represent the people's needs and wants because as of yet we can't really ask everyone 's opinion on every decision. I think the political decisio

I wouldn't call it pathetic. Hypocrisy? Yes, but all countries do this. I'm a bit afraid for people living in any country believing their little piece of the planet doesn't engage in geopolitics.

I am not aware of this, but upon a quick google I see the penetration is not that bad; in the U.S. it seems to be 88.5% [0] whereas in Russia it's 71.3% [1], so it's not all that far off. Unless you are talking about the quantity

I try to shy away from politics on this website but I can't shake this nagging feeling that this says something important about the current state of the US and the world. I am not a US citizen nor a resident, nor am I a Russian citizen
