I don’t know OPs location but if they’re in SV - series anything isn’t enough to afford the Bay Area long term unless the wife is working at FAANG. I presume OP doesn’t live in SV because no way to buy just about any home here on a startup

It really depends on your definition of success. If you know enough Stanford grads - you’d know that many of them will consider themselves failures in life if they haven’t founded and IPO/sold a company for $100m+. I know quite a few l

Try caffeine free and see if it persists. I drink caffeine free. I’ll be going on a multi month purge from it though. Water only for a few months. It’ll be brutal especially because I have high standards for water. (And most water tastes te

1000? I think it's closer to 100 - isn't it? > That was more than three years ago. Since then, I have done 100 interviews.

What if you replace religion with Tahiti? Can you tell how stupid the question is then? You can’t just do arbitrary word replacement. Words have meaning and are context dependent .

Slave mentality back in the day (2000+ years ago) was converted into religious beliefs and then it got “mainstream” and all the religion that was focused on being a chad became unpopular thanks to this slave religion which made being a slav

Keep the debate lord behavior to online discourse. No one likes that shit in person. Debate lord is a pejorative for a reason.

I agree for the simple statement that blacklist and whitelist are not really descriptors but historical terms crafted by some weirdos in the 1600s. Blocklist and Passlist seem to carry the same number of syllables. So, seems like decent rep

It doesn’t really matter. In a toxic work environment - any dissenters are immediately pushed out. This is because toxic work environments have no intention of changing and need everyone to be a yes man. If you are not a yes man - you are m

You also need to be sitting down and practicing before/after though. Just exposing oneself to recruiters will not be sufficient. You need to practice and reflect - and then practice with real people. I think it’s similar to playing a s

Disagree. I’ve interviewed quite a few people who are prepping and are senior. Even for those who have been at FAANG before - it’s common to spend multiple months prepping nights and weekends. Taking a full two months off just to study is u

This is just not true... Car break ins happen almost everywhere in SFBA as long as you're in a relatively populated area. It's unlikely to happen in Loma Mar because no one is going to Loma Mar to steal shit. Catalytic converter t

As long as housing is treated as an investment - people in SF will continue to not allow housing to be built.

by bradlys 4y ago
Or they could just start building housing and not wait for anyone. One of these actually moves us forward and the other will literally never happen .

lol - their solutions are actually perfectly balanced. Both parties are not doing anything about this problem - at all. It’s been this way for decades and there is still no reform.

Are your friends single straight men though? I don’t know many single straight men who ever move back. SF is unforgiving on that front.

Are you advocating for a rework of our capitalistic global economy then? If so - just say that. A capitalistic company gonna do capitalistic things - shocking. Shocking!

TCO is complicated though. If you start including other scenarios like when there is something wrong with your Tesla - you could be waiting 3+ months for the parts for your car to be fixed and it might not be useable during that time. This

A lot of cars get totaled. My car would’ve made it to 200k but someone ran into it at 196k. Due to depreciation and mileage - it was a full write off after that crash. For reference, I could still drive the car after the crash just barely.

> Yeah, agree here. Even with a stream of continuous employment, nobody gets a job by submitting CV's to websites. You have to have a network. I disagree. I've only gotten jobs through submitting CVs to websites. I've rece

We’d have to change societal expectations and the capitalistic behaviors within our global society to really make this problem lessened. (Not happening) I’ve known quite a few women who took a break and got back into work - it wasn’t too ba

I come from a worse environment than you and have risen to a higher position. (I was making $1m/yr last year - if you want any kind of token) I still don’t think tech is a meritocracy and will continue to know that. Do not buy into t

Just because you made it in your specific case (however you seem to define this) doesn’t mean we have meritocracy.

You're using very poor arguments. A lot of whataboutism. A meteor is coming to destroy the entire world. Do you sit around and wonder, "Is spending money on this really in the best interest of our shareholders for this quarter?&qu

You're using a false equivalency fallacy though - that economics matter at all in this. We need anything to get us to lower GHG emissions - regardless of cost.
