Genuinely curious - how is this different from ProductHunt? Given the kinds of things I see in ProductHunt, there seems to be a ton of overlap here.

As someone who was a 1st employee at a small startup (who made the mistake of accepting 50% below salary for a few percentage points of equity), this rings very true to me. However, my empathy goes out to early-stage (pre Series-A companies

Now to be fair I am in favor of giving employees isolated rooms to work in, however the reality is that at small startups they simply cannot afford that kind of office space. If you're concerned about noise and also the loudness of mus

I'm very confused by this, and something doesn't add up. The premise of the article seems to be that the author is not doing well physically, and that has had a cascading effect on her work and personal life. Except she won't

TLDR: Rand Paul pushes for a 14.5% flat tax. And of course when asked about how this would create a larger deficit, he never actually asserts that his flat 14.5% tax across the board would actually balance the budget. But here's the cr

"The benevolent firm introduced new work hours for summer interns after Bank of America Merrill Lynch intern died from seizure induced by all-nighters" Oh, how benevolent to let your interns sleep less than a full night.

That's great but seems - wow crazy. Why does one need that much money that late (not a rhetorical question, I've only ever been at Pre-B series startups)? I've already seen Airbnb ads on TV, and it's not like they'r

This is sort of like asking should you learn Swift or Objective-C, albeit much less difference between syntaxes. You can certainly get the job done on ES6, and the future is certainly in that direction, but all browsers still run ES5, so if

I wondered this too - none of the resolutions mentioned fostering a better company culture that involved properly valuing their employees, as I would imagine doing so would lead to better quality games.

If your rent depends on it, I agree. Otherwise, without the exploration, it will bring stagnation. Sometimes it's okay to choose the latest framework.

This is pretty bad on ADPs part. But after reading the other HN discussion on this topic[1], it seems like this is a company destined for as fast of a fall as it rose. I hate to see big companies muscle out little ones, but I guess if you&#

I can attest to this method being completely effective, but I think you can skip the contract work, and it might get in the way. At least in my experience as a contractor, people are looking for contractors because they have lots of exper

This study was conducted in China, which has a very different government structure compared to much of the West (or pretty much anywhere), so I fail to see how this can be applied to Western democracies (where the article was published).
