I used to, but mostly changed my mind. I still do it with certain people/discussions, but that's usually for long, high-context, complicated discussions. In the general case, I try very hard to make no more than one point or ask n

That's frequently true, but it really depends. Some CEOs are the HR person, entirely focused on filling roles with people who know how to sell/build/whatever. I do know one CEO who is "the engineer". They're in

Yeah, I rather suspect they'll be much less forgiving of this sort of thing in the future. All that takes is a lean quarter and some MBA to coin a term for rookie mistake-windfalls, and they will come to feel entitled to revenue from i

My rack lives in an expensive energy market, and pulls just under 500W. Almost 40% of that is a Dell R430, which by itself costs about $50/mo to run. Next time I have the energy (hah) for this flavor of home maintenance, the idea is to

There is an ongoing scam that pushes C-suite pay ever higher, and it needs to stop. It builds on exactly the reasoning you lay out, and goes something like this: - "We need the best CEO we can find. We have to understand how to set com
