This is a good point, it depends on the job however. Product focus might not be necessary. I've had job interviews where they were concerned that I wouldn't be happy due to not having any control/input over the product.

Did you showcase the engineering challenges or the 'features' of the game? Meaning, were you talking primarily about code, or how fun it was to play? I'm wondering if it was how you presented yourself. Unfortunately I don&#

Don't know how feasible this is, but can you get satellite internet and a hotspot? Code while you rest, hike while you think/brainstorm :)

They do that here. The DNR sells very cheap seedlings in spring. But where to plant them? Around here(rural Wisconsin) anything that isnt roads, houses, or farmland is trees. Trees require the same soil as food. They could plant more in

I've been thinking Big Statistics would be a more accurate description, and doesn't sound scary.

Note, I am a novice, so please correct me, but... TL;DR; it is very limited in what it can do, the accuracy is sometimes/(often?) not near 100%, it is an old field, meaning the progress has not all been in the past decade[1], and there

To be fair, its different for every product. If you aren't a social network, I don't see how you could go viral. Search ads wont work if nobody searches for your product, ie if it is something completely new. You can't get

Exactly, this is a self reinforcing feedback loop. I've heard about getting 200 resumes for an open position multiple times. Obviously it varies. Assuming 40 1 hour interviews per week, this would be 5 weeks. Also, your employees a

Its also possible that labor/maintenance costs outweighed the cost savings. Or they couldnt buy the equipment any more :)

Agree so much. However I want to add that motivation plays a factor here as well. I know too many people who think that once high school is over, reading is over. As someone who spends 1-2 hours per day reading, not counting software blo

It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint. You haven't associated the feeling of safety with the stimuli in this new environment. Which is good, because there could be threats you do not understand how to deal with yet.

I believe the anecdotes in this thread range from about 1 month to 2 years, iirc. I've been feeling a little burnt out lately. But reading this thread reminded me of how much I have to be grateful for, and there were many good tips.

Can't figure out why you are being downvoted. Post counts: a metric for how long they have been here, also an attempt to let new members know if this person knows what they are talking about. Yes, post count is a poor metric for level

At a previous job, we talked a lot about managing the expectations of clients. If you promise someone an operating system delivered in two weeks, with a budget of $10k, they will be very upset when you don't deliver. It doesnt matter

I wonder how account age correlates. Or the ratio of # replies/@ mentions to number of tweets. Or the number of followers. But yeah, I agree.
