There is no data or interesting analysis here. I would have said: 1. Recruiting time wasted 2. Sunk cost in training and networking employees to one another and the culture and technology and problem domain 3. Laid off employees go to com

I’ve seen this in dealing with Microsoft. Product Managers at these companies all have a type A personality in general. If you want excessive politics and everyone fighting and being a dumb ass it’s the product managers at big companies. I’

People should not be able to retroactively edit books. Imagine they rewrite lord of the rings and make everyone a woman. How is that ok?

I have a hard time believing you are serious. They hallucinated a bunch of context into it that fits any story about secret societies.

Roald Dahl personally killed Nazis as a fighter pilot. Go look it up.

I think I have the same type of brain as you. I say things all the time which to me are just obvious logic. And the reaction sometimes has been extremely bad. I realized my “logic” brain scares the crap out of normies. I learned to ask othe

Not a bad play. The companies that are below the top 15 are all starving for talent and have way lower stress and often far better work life balance and not terrible pay. The top companies are political nightmares because the pressure and c

It became completely thankless to be a programmer. I don’t know if it was something about having the right balance of being in high demand plus the fun tools and culture and platforms like iOS being achievable for small devs. Now it has bec

I am in similar position. I am half so wealthy I never need to care and half completely broke. Don’t know which one it is. It’s not liquid. Depending on if the economy improves could go either way.

LOL Not sure if sophisticated troll but either way it’s hilarious. Owning things really sucks. I would love to live in a camper van. That would be awesome.

Hey, I had a stretch for almost 2 1/2 years where my work and field really no longer interested me. I had really enjoyed it and then just felt like I had done it all. It took a completely new market arriving with new technology and a n

I switched from large to small and wish I had done it years ago. I don’t know if I will ever retire, but I’d rather be poor and retire by voluntary means then have to work at big companies doing hateful work dealing with hateful politics in

Exactly right. These companies are bad news, completely random management, dead end projects. Worse yet, if you work there, you are dramatically disconnected from the startup market. And prevented from getting modern skills. At least in sta

The only solution I can think of is an almost complete restructuring of government to give neighborhood communities way more power. The entire power structure from California to city on down has to be almost completely changed. It’s like we

Why are they big? Because they make a lot of money. Why do they make a lot of money? Because big companies are drilled into the woodwork of the governments worldwide, and partners. How are they drilled into every nook and cranny? They hired

I am pretty autistic in nature and I get super burned out. I have so many interests and I pursue them all simultaneously and I work seven days a week. My tendency is to push myself far beyond my limits. When I get exhausted I start blowing

It also makes you think a lot more about your environment and skillset and where and how you are positioned in an organization.

Exactly! They have no idea. If you average someone into a crowd of average people, who interfere, take credit, undercut, etc. You will have absolutely no idea who is good or bad if you are slightly removed. A good test is to ask how good yo

I honestly feel the culture has gotten far better. Five years ago, the culture in software was unbelievably shrill, immature, politically naive, self centered. It was like being immersed in a dunk tank of elementary school children but most

You don’t want a Silicon job because your talent is illiquid. They can take a giant dump directly in your mouth while making steady eye contact and you can’t leave because there is nowhere to go. In software and in startups if you have rele

I agree with this direction. The federal reserve caused panic over-hiring across the technology industry of extremely expensive people. Many of these companies over hired by 40%. I believe the federal reserve is deliberately treating this o
