I have been a product manager for a decade now, both in established firms and startups. From my experience, startups need to have the founder and engineering leader in lockstep, and the experience to productize the vision. PM role in a star

A product release in an established organization goes through legal checklist. It could have been one of those “our checklist for search, chrome, nest etc. can be same”. I am not defending nest. Just saying that sometimes these get bypassed

Agree. Skillset and response will determine the success. Japan govt has a good precedence of centralized security scanning for country’s Internet, so hopefully it is a positive. Vast majority of Internet users are not security savvy. Doing

I have an affinity for AWS because I worked there and liked the pace. But, agree with your last statement. At least 3 collegues (came from Azure to AWS) told me very highly about Azure when it comes to console and workflow.

I applaud your thinking. But in the real world, things can get ugly very very quickly as the original commenter said. Even worse, imagine your DNA results score being used as part of employment qualification checks! When the greed of $$ is

I have used blind. Some posts were pretty blatant. Just like Madison-Ashley, someone is going to dump all those posts in future. And somebody will create an indexable search, maybe paid access for employers - instead of open access for publ
