This is great and more salary transparency is important. I'm wondering if these numbers jive with your hunch about the local market? I'm asking because I've noticed that when asking for salary numbers, those who make "de

This is something we spend a lot of time thinking about at Launch School. You need the right pedagogy for the right phase of learning ( https://launchschool.com/pedagogy ). Most article writers aren't differentiating the

This is a huge topic of debate, but the consensus from "experts" seems to be that if it's public data that's not behind some auth, then it's fair. By the way, this is what web crawlers, like Google's crawler, d

I think there were two big mistakes we made (plus countless smaller ones): - we didn't love the recruiting industry. We loved the idea of running a business and building stuff. That's not why people pay you. - we didn't under

I used to run a company called Active Interview. I say "used to" because the product is on auto-pilot now, and just cruising along without any support with MRR of around $1200. The very first sale was done before our recurring pri

Question isn't if it happens all the time in small companies. What's under discussion is whether this is what we want in our (the startup/tech) industry, whether this is ok, or if there's something we should try to do ab
