you can generally measure that with churn in the enterprise Saas world. But that's a lag indicator so it's tough to see into the future. To address what a good meeting is, I worked for a startup where a salesperson closed Netflix

Of course! There was a time when LOC was the measure of productivity just like the number of cold touches you make to convert to a discovery call. I've worked for public companies where you needed to make 300 cold calls a day and they

It depends. But I'd challenge you to ask your own sales leader at your company what their policy is and their reasoning.

There is a lack of mutual understanding that shipping code and closing a deal have a lot of similarities. A Pull Request is basically the same as an Opportunity in your JIRA/SFDC. We can estimate when the PR will be pushed to prod or t

I wonder how many years of evolution it took for tunas to target the back end of a shark instead of the front. And how many more years it will take before tunas can grow fingernails and scratch their own parasites off?

I've been seeing the YC software team disaggregate HN features to make it easier for founders to run their startups: Ask HN is now sort of part of YC Startup School where founders can ask people in the community about their startup iss

My theory, YC software team has been building features like https://www.workatastartup.com/ and so YC companies are posting less on HN.

I've been known to pump my leg rapidly like in the video when I'm anxious. Maybe it's an involuntary artifact to "keep the engine running" just in case my flight senses are triggered.

If you really liked the System76's Launch Lite, try to find a used one, keyboards in general are fairly robust, and have a decent secondary market so you can always trade or resell without much loss. Other than your phone, your KB prob

Check out Drop.com there is a fairly large audiophile community + products. Disclosure: I was an early employee of Drop and I remember our team trying to get Schiit listed, but he didn't want to offer the community a discount. So there

You're right, it's a bad take. It makes sense that they would train Asian people to fight in the Asian battlefields. White spies would stick out like a sore thumb.

Cool! Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of Capt. Kim. Here is an excerpt from the link you shared: > Upon Kim’s arrival in Mississippi, the commander offered him a transfer since “Koreans and Japanese don’t always get along,” due

Absolutely, why do you think churches have such high ceilings? Or just sheer volume of air means you're getting more oxygen to your brain vs. working in a 10x10x10 cube. Maybe VR can help with this? Simulate nature without the drawback

There is an interesting documentary narrated by Chris Rock where he shares that Koreans dominate the wig industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Hair it's fascinating this is the origin story.

Isn't generating a ton of LOC considered bad practice? If my pull request is over 1K LOC, most likely my review will take longer, increase cycle time, and be more bug prone?

Can't edit, but I informed her and there is a potted bush that is underperforming this year and so she's open to trying the burn method to see if it helps.

At least with the peloton purchase, it sounds like they are using Affirm. Generally if you have good credit, interest rate is zero. I've seen it on other high ticket items for sale online. In this case Affirm reduces the friction of bu
