Without Google Maps, or functional equivalent, or do you ever manage to find your way anywhere? When I think about leaving the getting rid of my phone, my first thought is that not having maps would suck. I planned a bus trip from Point A

Once it has been recovered, how challenging is it to recycle a the first stage? If I recall correctly, the solid state boosters on either side of the space shuttle would get reused, too, if you went out and picked them after they fell into

It's a source of stress for me. That, and someone staring at me intently without communicating to me why I need to design Tic Tac Toe or Uber.

I recruited for one data science job. The hiring manager was super focused on getting someone with a PhD. Is that the norm for a position like that?

The Vultr plan looks like a nice option. For comparison, I recently started using Scaleway for my it's-so-cheap-why-not-try-it box. My Scaleway box's specs: - €2.99/month (currently $3.17 USD/month) - 2 GB RAM - 50 GB S

Yeah, I can understand that. I think you'll probably discover in the long run that you eliminate a whole bunch of people who might otherwise be good hires. It's kind of like only doing analysis on how your current customers like

I think Triplebyte's initial technical screen is kind of lame. It focuses on solving problems that aren't all that interesting to me, and they start a countdown timer before I've even had a chance to read the problem. It f

I was a technical recruiter for several years, and am now a software engineer, doing both in San Francisco. If you'd like, I'd be happy to chat with you. My email is in my profile.

Thanks. It's gets interesting that when a person with a treatable condition doesn't want to be treated.

A not-trolling, serious question... If they shouldn't be punished, what would you recommend? I don't have a well-informed suggestion.

Interesting perspective. What I'm hearing you say is that it's more often a crappy process and poor relationship management that leads to suboptimal results. That's kind of like saying hiring good people and investing in th

I don't know that I'd say Netflix is completely at the mercy of Amazon. Sure, if AWS goes down, Netflix goes down. But that would be true enough for they ran all of their own stuff, too... "Netflix is completely at the merc

More of a general inquiry, but that's a fair question. I've worked at a few companies using an offshore team, and I never asked how that relationship was established. Most of those teams were building some sort of web or mobile

Given what you know, would you do it again? My main thinking is that it's simply easier to reason about, especially when discussing the value of shares with non-investors.

Do startups ever pre-allocate blocks of equity for investors? I understand it's common to carve out N shares for employee options. Say pre-raise look like this... - 30% for founders - 20% for employees - 50% for future investors Then
