I have a scale in my kitchen and I weigh everything. For most restaurant food you can look up the calorie information really easily. So for me it is a very small minority of food that I can't get an exact number on and I've been w

I was able to bootstrap and launch a successful (5 figures MRR) SaaS by myself with no previous audience. Now we are much bigger (in terms of both employees and revenue). How I did it was very simple. I found where my customers were and I l

A very easy fix for this is to tie compensation to cost of living. If the cost of living is dramatically more expensive in San Francisco than it is in Little Rock Arkansas, the income requirements should reflect that.

I would agree with this. Several years ago we were averaging $50k/mo with me and one employee, and we are now bigger in terms of both revenue and people. However I consider myself a profitable bootstrapped startup, not a side project o

Even outside Silicon Valley this is very similar. When I post a programming job I get more applicants from data scientists than from actual programmers. When I post a marketing job I get more applicants from data scientists than from actual

As an employer I can confirm this is correct. The salaries it reports for the people we have sponsored are far lower than what those people actually made at the time of the application.

Wouldn't that be true of ~50% of companies by definition? After all an index fund is basically just the average of all of the investments inside it.

From my perspective there aren't any other methods that are less arbitrary than several interview coding sessions. Doing no coding sessions are more arbitrary because it is far easier to BS a non coding interview than it is to BS a cod

I eat 3,000 calories a day with 40% of my calories coming from protein. The key is to do bulk meal prep at the beginning of each week and eat a lot of chicken and seafood. I have two packed lunches for today - one is homemade cashew chicken
