I imagine this company exists solely to trap VCs and harvest their organs.

In other words, market rewards Facebook for being fined only $5 billion by increasing their market cap $20 billion. Unreal.

Their sales and support approach to Meet hardware is also abysmal. If they sold hardware direct, supported it through an official channel, and had reasonable documentation around it, they would slay, especially for customers who already hav

Cybercoders is particularly dysfunctional. Avoid at all costs.

Yep, I’ve certainly seen the same for big companies, but some of them are kind enough to list a requirement that is a dead giveaway, like: “Candidates for Solutions Architect 4 at X Corp preferably have three or more years of experience as

I respect that they recalled it amid the pressure, but I feel for all the families, including mine, who would be SOL without the rock n play. It was the only thing that worked until 4 months. I also really feel for the families who lost the

In my experience, fixing ground ops would be the biggest boon to efficiency and customer satisfaction. My experience these days from doing a lot of domestic flying in the U.S. is that lack of ground coordination (takeoff queues, gate availa

100%. Wittingly or unwittingly, it was the right call for them, and pulled a ton of air out of the room for competitors.

Sounds like a production issue to me, and they're taking an opportunity to throw shade on the existing induction-charge market in anticipation of fixing issues and launching something bigger later. "Doesn't meet our standards

They have been famous for pushing growth over turning a profit. Thy could have scaled back their growth and probably shown profits much earlier.

It sounds like the issue isn’t the growth of Sketch itself, but the growth of the competitive landscape. I wonder if they shopped around an acquisition and couldn’t get one.

I definitely would expect real photos of the person on LinkedIn, and everyone I know who hires will look on LinkedIn as a confirmation of the resume. Not sure if this is a vector to enable bias or not, but it’s a reality of hiring for many.

That’s a fair criticism. Having any kind of profile image I think is preferable to the default, because then it distinguishes you from someone who signed up a day ago. So it doesn’t have to be a photo of you, it could be a photo of your cit

I would hazard a guess that most pure recruiters aren't looking at your GitHub profile other than ensuring that you've provided one. The hiring manager or interview team, however, might be interested in it. Here are some things th

The notion that the Bay Area contains all the wisdom about high-growth, VC-backed success, if true, seems to me like a great opportunity for those who have been successful at it in the Bay Area to consult for those who want to replicate it

Nope, that's not what I said at all.

For the ten-thousandth time: getting banned on Facebook is not censorship. When it gets brought up in other countries, it is the governments of those countries doing it. Facebook can do what it wants here. If you don't like it, divest.

I wish the author and anyone writing about this would disclose their positions in these companies or that they have none. The merits of any argument on this topic are only worth considering if we know that they're being presented in go

You'd think it's like, some proprietary trading algorithm, but in reality it's probably their own implementation of left-pad.

In this case maybe, but generally GET should be avoided for any creative/transactional action because many systems will replay/cache GET requests, assuming that they’re idempotent.

Exceedingly superficial, unfortunately, as it seems all the content marketing on this blog is.

Better yet, if you’re trying to be employee #1, have the founders frontload some of your year 1 salary as a cash bonus to cover early-exercise.

This makes me think that something like Stack Overflow could be used to train a model that generates code to answer a question—and that software specifications that are decomposed into a series of requirements or "questions" could

If not one of those three things are indepdently attainable on a six figure salary, then yes, the Bay Area is massively unaffordable.

I think most of the griping in this thread will be unrelated to the article. The article talks about real time-waste (surfing social media, personal communications). From the headline, I was ready to rail against the definition of “producti

I think you’re mischaracterizing the genesis of this design pattern. Fowler didn’t come up with it based on what he saw in nature, but instead saw something in nature that allowed him to illustrate the pattern in an understandable way.

My big issue is that I don’t think the product team should be a priority for reddit right now. I’m sure their product team is doing “fine” insofar as they’re setting a roadmap, delivering on a fairly predictable schedule, and doing traditio

With respect to the U.S. Congress, I don't think there is sufficient language to make something like this sufficient without also being overly broad. I'm looking at this, specifically: 10 ‘‘(2) the term ‘deep fake’ means an au

Correct. There is nothing intrinsically noble about technologists. No Hippocratic oath, no unifying moral code. They’re susceptible to the same pitfalls of professional disregard as anyone. Understanding that will help you temper any unearn
