I wonder how many of those let go have options that need to get exercised with some sort of tax consequences? Not only is it psychologically disorienting, but now it's financially taxing...literally. Yikes

I was in the same boat. Now feeling lucky I didn't make that mistake. Makes you wonder how much of this has to do with fraud and spam mitigation. It must be bad enough that they are throwing out the baby...

This is generally good perspective. In this particular case the NDA was not scoped to non-public information (but rather proprietary information) and had no duration clause. Also this NDA was provided prior to me (in theory) conducting a pr

Quick update. Wow, your intuition was correct, what a mess. Surprised to see this from a highly valued YC portfolio company. They asked me to prepare for a presentation as part of an interview and cancelled that just now (a few days before

Thank you for sharing — are there specific episodes that I might prioritize in relation to this "languishing" topic or would you recommend the series in order?

Therapy is a good exercise no matter what situation. It's a low risk/low cost way to get signal on how to adapt and maybe even improve your thinking/behavior.

I was in an isolated exurb working hard labor at a UPS warehouse. I became an active user of an open source project and a regular on an IRC network. Over time I got to know a few of the founders, and got offered a job and relocation to San

Is this an issue with all cloud providers? Or just large ones like Google, Amazon, Microsoft? I'm currently thinking of migrating from Google for productivity to Office 365. Wondering if I'm just re-branding the risk of my counter

Do you only have a single “burner” running off 120V outlet, or multiple? Considering a custom dual fuel setup. Since I’m limited by a 125AMP panel and we are almost maxed out between an electric heat pump, washer/dryer and maybe an EV.

Thanks Nat. What if we made new GitHub Actions temporarily only available to users with a verified second factor? Could temporarily reduce the population of abusers while we figure out a more sustainable strategy?
