Also, most people can learn to code. It's difficult to love it, even when it things don't work--like spending an hour trying to figure out why something isn't working, only to find you wrote if(isVar = true) (yoda that bish..

That I fully agree with. Unless you have a knack for jumping into complex systems and learning along the way.

I hope the grammatically incorrect version of YOUR is being cheeky. That said, horrible advice. There is no reason to start with BASIC. Everything you said can be taught with Python, Ruby, and even Javascript.

There are different ways people learn. For me, I couldn't just pick up and use an MVC Framework to build a webapp. I had to first (a long while ago), write a web app using a bunch of shittily written javascript. After a while, I starte

Wow. At the point where the person was bluntly told to leave immediately, why did they not?

If you don't exercise your vested options, they will automatically expire after a certain date. The company doesn't really have any incentive to purchase your options from you, however they will likely have a clause that gives the

Usually the Employee Share agreement has a clause that states that when you leave the company (or even in change of control scenarios) any vested stock options must be exercised by 90 days, otherwise their forfeit back to the company.

The difference is you can actually use your cash bonus to pay out the taxes on that bonus. For restricted-stock, you cannot sell the stock, and thus have to pay taxes out of pocket. If the company is public, you can sell some shares to cove

Yes it is odd. I would expect someone to at least say "I'll let you know." Asking for the Cap Table on the otherhand, I think it's okay to hand-wave that (imo).

Of course not, just like, if you're hungry, it's not okay to steal food. And the amount isn't really the issue, theft is theft. The question, is charging your car like: 1) Running an extension cord to neighbors to power your

I 100% disagree. If I steal a $60 video game from a store, it's going to cost tax payers and the company more than $60 to prosecute me. Should shoplifting > $1,000 no longer be a crime?

Cost to the taxpayers isn't a mitigating circumstance when choosing whether to arrest someone for committing a crime. I should note, that I don't think this was a crime.

The police shouldn't have wasted all this time and money on what isn't really a crime. Say it's not a car, and the driver recharged his phone, because it was dead. By the same logic, he should be arrested, but it would seem a
