Do you have any proof of that? Are there studies that show companies that work "crazy" vs. "not crazy" are more successful? From my experience working harder didn't get me any further than not. Everything I've

They had their own "languages" - Turbo Pascal (Delphi) and Borland C++, while not "new" languages, they were both very specific to Borland in their own ways. Their IDE's were much better than just about anything els

But the company was profitable before the VCs "restructured" it to basically steal (legally) everything they could. That's how the Vulture Capitalists work, there are other comments detailing this. Just because you can make m

Depends on what "worth more" means. From a purely monetary standpoint liquidation that might be true. But giving VCs who are likely already rich more money vs. taking away peoples jobs isn't always the best way to "repur

The article doesn't mention [Vert.x]( http://vertx.io/ ), another JVM library/framework (also works outside of the JVM with Javascript for example) that is loosely based on the actor model. And now with Kotlin corou

I don't think any of the main characters in Breaking Bad lived in poverty; even the secondary ones didn't for the most part. If WW had died w/o becoming a drug kingpin, he would have left his family in poverty, but they didn&

Good point, and I guess it would be up to the employee to negotiate more $ for their office (if possible).
