Free massages and sushi bars don't pay rent! And I'm not talking about mythical exit money, I'm talking about cold hard biweekly salary. I make more money at a small startup than it seems I would make at Google, for example.

Is google just particularly dogged about salary negotiations, then? The numbers I've seen for someone new to the org don't impress me relative to the competitive baseline. Maybe you have to ask way higher, or you have to come in a

that's an incredibly expensive and complex way to avoid some friction for some users. What about breaking changes to APIs? Do you end up with two completely separate backends and DBs to maintain as well? Do you just completely clone yo

Anyone else using Firefox get a big ol security warning when you try to access brad frost's site?

I preordered, and it hasn't shipped yet. I wish there were an option to wait and get a fixed one later instead.

The only place I ever plug anything besides a power cord into my macbook is at my desk, where there's a usb-c hub that has power, an external monitor, a USB mouse, a USB keyboard, and another open USB A port on it. I plug that single t

I use FF as my daily driver, and have for years. But at work, I use Chrome. I bet most of you do, too. There's kind of just not another option. For one thing, if you work on a product that has to meet accessibility standards (and if yo

these "tweaks" boil down to "stop being a night owl." If I could wake up hours earlier and make myself go to sleep hours earlier I wouldn't be in this mess, BBC.
