and there is no mention of putting IP on the balance sheet
333.
by b20000 3y ago
right, so you do put it on the balance sheet. you just need to show you are actually creating a product.

in europe you can choose to put it on the balance sheet or treat it like an expense. it goes under intangible assets. i think goodwill is just for some kind of intangible quality of the business like reputation. source code or patents are a

to become a manager you first need to unlearn all your skills
338.
by b20000 3y ago
that is the problem. you cannot get significant money to get anywhere. 100k is nothing to start a business. if you try to get 1MM you will personally be liable for 200k which is a huge deal in europe where salaries are low and it might ruin

one time a photographer came to my house to interview me about the hardware i developed. he asked me to put it on my head because that would be cute or interesting. naturally i refused.

again, not credible that retailers would not ask for prepayment for something they don’t stock (yet)
341.
by b20000 3y ago
do you think retailers don’t do anything illegal? hahaha
342.
by b20000 3y ago
that is the more likely story. if you have the money to give all the retailers a bunch of markup more power to you.
343.
by b20000 3y ago
so the retailers simply gave the prime shelf space to KPT because of the phone calls? i have first hand retail experience trying to get a hw product into stores and could never pull that off. i also highly doubt retailers would simply order

i wonder what happened when the stores told the students to pay for the software after / before having it ordered.

how about an amiga 500 or some other non internet connected computer with games and programming tools/basic i think internet is not necessary. other than that learning skills is more important than consuming all the garbage out there

a discussion on the use of leetcode style interviews as a discrimination tool in tech hiring

by b20000 3y ago
how is that, being a manager but then still have to code and deliver? you have to constantly switch?

why move back into an IC role after being in leadership?
353.
by b20000 3y ago
tasteless? who cares? this is business, and as a developer you should get whatever you want out of it.

by b20000 3y ago
do you have a contract in writing and did you both sign it? you should talk to a lawyer. you can negotiate any deal you want but you will need a contract IMHO.

this is what people always suggest. read the code that is already there. my experience has been that you quickly need to then learn how several other major parts of the kernel work which is non trivial and something i struggle with. there i

looks like hiring using coding interviews was not such a great idea after all

you are at a FAANG making good money. lots of people can’t get a FAANG job despite being highly qualified. others can’t for other reasons.
358.
by b20000 3y ago
Good. Take this as an opportunity to treat people you don’t know more fairly and don’t assume everyone is a liar.

"Tell me about a project you worked on." is not a specific question "why did you choose to order the members of this struct in your C code the way you did" is one.
