It's not fine to say it if it's not true How about the example where the hiring manager says "this is all we can afford to pay for the position" when there are other employees at the company making much more for the sa

That path worked for me, from English to being director of engineering at a tech startup. My English background has been useful in building out a sentiment analysis engine to glean actionable insights from business reviews. An intimate know

The same could be said of catchy TV commercials. The fact that people see them and recall them makes them worth buying.

Because there is no proof that your assumption is true - people tend to believe they aren't affected by advertising when they actually are. Very true. You can test this by asking people about those "one weird trick" ads. Pe

I'm a director of engineering, not a VP, but there isn't a higher engineering position at our startup, so it's just a matter of semantics. I sort of lucked into this position when the CTO left the company suddenly due to pers

Most positions aren't advertised. Full time or otherwise. That's a good point. The people I know who work remote started onsite and proved themselves first. Then, when they wanted to relocate, they worked out remote working arra

Why is there not a trend to work less instead of taking more money? I've wondered that myself now that I'm a father of a 2.5 year old. I would love to take a 20% paycut to work 4 days instead of 5. I'd take an even bigger p

I don't have any plates on my 6 month old car. The penalty for not having plates is just a $20 fix-it ticket and no points on your record (you will never get pulled over just for not having plates, especially if the car looks new). The

Thanks for the write up. We're taking a similar approach at my startup to classify business reviews. The breakthrough for us came when we split the reviews into sentences and did N-gram analysis at the sentence level. The challenge is

There is a lot of skill in creating visualizations like charts, graphs, infographics, etc. for human consumption. You may not need these skills to build a recommendation engine, for example.

I think that "never had more than 5 users" is really the center of the problem. Exactly. Start with the potential customers and figure out what problem they need to be solved, and then figure out a way to solve it. Then you go t

You should spend more time talking to customers first. If you talk to potential customers before putting pen to paper or writing code you will either have a bunch of people interested and ready to sign up when you launch, or you should find

I think that should be qualified by saying that is very risky to outsource anything that is your core competency. So if your startup is a data scraping company then your core competency is the code that actually crawls the web for data. You
