LinkedIn just lost a case “demanding” some other company stope scraping. I don’t like mass collection of faces but this stuff needs to be private if it’s to be protected.

Don’t feel too bad. I bought Tesla at 17, Facebook at 35 and Microsoft as Satya Nadella was taking over and then sold them all early and burned that cash on an ill advised hardware startup. Oh yeah, and I told everyone I could to buy the g

If NYT wanted to actually make a difference they’d remove this (or at least after a couple days) from paywall. They are crippling their own reach.

If you’re early and there are two of you do 51/49 so you can break a tie before investors get involved. Don’t forget the standard 4 year vesting with 1 year cliff for both of you. There is so much non tech stuff to do in a startup you

I would look at it in terms of what will help you get a visa. Is it more school or actually just getting yourself hired and visa sponsorship. If you have the degree plus industry experience then I’m betting you can get a company to sponsor

Because of the ridiculous workflows that many companies use it to impose on teams for no good reason. Also, the API is atrocious, slow and poorly documented and you DO NOT want to know what some government orgs are using it for.

I’ve been on a few teams that create a top level folder called “decisions” in the repository. Each Architecture decision record (ADR) is in a short, numbered markdown file in that directory. We only did this for things that are hard earned

Every work day if I can help it. (For the paying job, not the side hustles) They pay for 40 they get 40. Would adjust a bit if it was a super early startup because that’s part of the deal sometimes.

Keep at it and try to distinguish what kind of culture the company has in the first call with the recruiter. Don’t even bother with a tech screen until you know that. These are good places to start: https://www.keyvalues.com&#x2F

Can't answer that without knowing the scope. One data point is that back in 2010 I built a few very very small self-contained games for people for like 15k-20k. No networking or anything at all. Just simple stuff folks had mostly alrea
