As someone who as doubled our eng team in the past four months and plans on doubling it again in the next 6, here's my view: I use the term jumpy. It is a negative signal, but not a killer signal. You'll have to make up for that

The main idea is that there is a nice middle ground between pure SW, low touch SaaS apps and consulting services. In particular this middle ground can actually help support a SaaS app until it reaches some level of critical mass. The early

Exercise is a positive return on the time investment. A good workout (7-30 mins), a 15-30 min bike ride or a 10-20 min run will more than pay off with improved productivity and energy throughout the day.

Petitions aren't as effective as campaigns to elect the opponents of those mentioned in the petition. Even if you fail to prevent reelection, you have a better chance of changing the behavior of the incumbents.

Nothing in go is silly. There are multiple reasons why it's required. The answer usually given is faster compile times and the removal of semicolons from the language. I don't know the details, but someone new complains about it on the ma

It is very, very common to wait until just before an IPO to sue. The strategy is that the defendant will be more willing to settle just to get the lawsuit off the books before the IPO. It usually works against smaller companies. Google wa
