There are a lot of different reasons. The cynical take is that the time to ROI is too long. If it is going to take 10 years to turn a profit the executives do not want to pull the trigger on that because they will be out the door in 5 and n

Very few startups have failed because the coders couldn't solve a algorithms problem in 45 minutes. A lot of startups have failed because the coders built something that didn't have a large market, or didn't compete well with

I almost got burned by this. The COO of the company basically asked my why I wasn't getting anything done. I had to be direct and say that I'm happy to spend 100% of my time coding new features, but he is going to have to answer t

How much authority do they have on private property? If I buy a farm who has the authority to stop me from driving remote control or autonomous cars on that farm? If i make that farm accessible to the public to buy my vegetables how does th

I think Apple is a bigger driver of the investment than Google or FB. When the first IPOD came out few investors saw that Jobs was executing on a vision that would create a trillion dollar company. Those same type of investors are afraid of

A hedge from this theory would be to buy stocks just outside the SP 500? Something like TSLA. That would be a crazy situation, where the SP 500 is crashing and the rest of the market it taking off

I strongly recommend getting a stone other than diamond. A few months after the engagement no one will ever care for the rest of your life, with the exception of the jewelry sales person who missed out on the commission.

Especially since that 10B becomes 20B when in 5 years, Oracle tells you that you that your initial implementations are being EOLed and you need to start over.

I see comments like this on every single opioid news thread. I'm sure that you are being honest about feeling that you need to take opioids every day, but I'm sure that you understand the addictive nature of the pills and why we s

These organizations are not distributed hiveminds. Someone in authority has to approve the code change, and someone above that person has to verify that the code is being approved appropriately, and someone above that person has to monitor

Very thoughtful author. I would like to get her thoughts on where a employeer should draw the line on staying that a disability cannot be accommodated. For example, someone who had a light sensitivity as well as PTSD may need to work in a d

You can take it up another level where the 10x developer goes over the project managers and gets a better understanding of the company goals directly from the decision makers. Then he becomes a 100x developer because he eliminates the commu

Down or just high latency? For some folks that is the same thing.

My advice would be to live in the real world. We don't know how long it is going to take. Just like if you go to turn on your car and it doesn't start. Maybe it was a minor issue and the next time you turn the key it will start. M

Thank you. I finally have a good reference to point folks to when I get the question about why I'm not using redis. Although not as fun as the "web scale" response to mongo questions.

Maybe an executive did choose a technology to pad his resume over functionally. Without an email from him stating that he is just padding his resume, how can you prove that the new technology wasn't going to be successful?

Humans naturally anchor to their social network. If those people grew up in rural West Virginia with coal miner family income they would tell you that 250k/year is wealthy. You have to actively resist this anchoring behavior. You have

That is intentional. They don't want people who are looking for red flags. They are looking for people to go all in on changing the world. Three years from now the company will be bankrupt or the applicants will be expendable because t

Im in the same boat. It would be nice if there was someway to get a group of us to work together without just 1 or 2 of us enjoying ourselves. I would do well in most SRE positions, but not when someone else can overrule me. So that makes

HN is boring enough ( Java API lawsuits / Firefox perf results ) that large groups of people will never read it. So it doesn't have to defend against as big of an assault of bad actors as Reddit/FB/Twitter do. So they ca
