There's a way to do this: Look at the INC 5000 list and see which companies in IT were built in less than 3 years to X revenue.

Actually historically, we foraged and hunted. After reading Sapiens I’m convinced that farming actually set humans on the path towards this very suffering. Large scale war, famine and pretty much every post agrarian revolution ill, is a

For counterpoint, I think the name is fine. It's a portmanteau of "name" and "engine" and made immediate sense to me.

That's because those things are flooded with competitors and margins don't scale nearly as well as pure tech. Every time I walk through my local farmers market I see a new brand of Kumbucha or Flat Tummy Tea. But, there is competi

I think the problem is you’re severely underestimating the role of Amazon as a market maker / provider of liquidity. By buying in bulk, they underwrite the risk of not having enough direct-to-consumer customers and allow the manufactur

I know you can do all that, but it's hard, and I'm kind of surprised they've raised a billion dollars to build and market this, given it's relative shortcomings. If you had told me they raised $20 million, I would ha

No one has mentioned Loom ( https://loom.co ), so I’ll throw it out there. Its a freelancing platform that allows users to “pay with equity” as well as cash. Disclaimer: I haven’t tried it, just remember seeing it on Product Hun

How is this little known? If anything, this is too known . What I wish, but is impossible, is that there were more documented stories of the conflicts of e.g. Native Americans or Native South Americans, before European Settlers; early wars

Nothing. In all my years ( 13 ) software engineering, the people who made the most were the ones who could sell. And I don't mean like "sales engineer", but rather who could sell their projects to team members, bosses, etc. M

This was a great write up! I’ve been thinking about this problem A LOT while building a project/team planning software startup. What do you think about having every engineer estimate one task for the upcoming sprint? Also, I’ve found t

I tried using this, but couldn't get the root certs to work. So I went to AWS RDS instead. A pity, it's much cheaper ( especially in beta pricing )

What happens when you have a 'being', made of silicon and algorithms, but takes the form of a human? Or, for a better case, what happens when our own brains are 'part algorithm'? In that case I think this sort of case wo

This is one of the primary takeaways I got from reading Sapiens. Our big brains didn't pay off for millenia, until they did, and in a big way. Most times, innovation isn't enough to beat the competition...you have to survive long

Well, unless you win the lottery or get an inheritance, you have to work for someone else, in the US at least. There's no way around that. So in that case, you should try to find a job that you loathe the least . I suppose there are o

Depends on a lot of things as you mentioned, but also especially on your pigmentation/levels of sunburn. I'm very dark skinned, so I need a lot longer for UV rays to penetrate.
