In addition to normal things that suck about layoffs another thing I don't like about the layoffs from Lyft, Coinbase and Stripe is their equity policy. All of them went from fixing the 4 year grant on day one to a fixed yearly dollar

Do you have something that allows you to publish that as well? Use case - I want to keep some notes for myself e2e on my laptop & phone but every now and then I'd like to publish a few of them under a pseudonym anonymously on the i

As someone who has been one bagging for four months now I can’t recommend having an air tag enough. I have an air tag that stays locked in the same part of the bag that keeps my passport, alternative bank cards, laptop & kindle. Definit

The tweet is very low information for me to comment. I can't tell whether these people contributed to Tornado cash before/after the sanctions were in place. I think a fairer analogy would be, some devs contributed to signal, signa

The nefarious people were probably on a unix system or a windows system. Should we go about and delete their contributors accounts as well? I’m not at all pro crypto but this enforcement does seem extreme. I do understand that Microsoft is

That goes against what several of my current & ex meta friends feel during a job search. No matter what you say about the business, the people are fairly hard working and smart. More hard working than most other FANGs and it shows when

That part I agree with heavily. The upside on starting one vs being the first/second employee is massive. At the same time if Travis Kalanick/ Mark Zuckerberg hire me as the first engineer then the odds of financial success go up

Last year they went from a normal 4 year grant to an yearly grant of a fix dollar value in order to protect employees from a down turn. Now they ended up doing layoffs, tells you how big a BS this grant structure is. Stripe, lyft and uber d

Given the CEO suggested people buy the equity while taking personal loans in the last raise in February, I doubt the goodness of the severance.

Wow. How'd they make you pay upfront and still make you wait & vest? This makes no sense.

Assuming a standard vesting schedule of 4 years. Wouldn’t you have left with 0.75% of equity? I wonder if any money would have been left after dilution and preferred shares.

Something really weird: Start wearing those t-shirts that don't fit you anymore and stick close to your body instead of bigger t-shirts. This will make you cognizant of the extra weight and help you eat healthier/workout.
