Remember that you’re judging them as much as they’re judging you. Get in a mindset where you’re planning to reject them, so it doesn’t matter if you do well at the interview. It’s up to them to convince you otherwise.

Depends on what your goal is for the company. Such a funding offer would be a pretty good signal that if you do well an acquisition would be on the table.

Shoes. It’s nearly impossible to find ones that fit my weirdo feet correctly. Shoes that both fit and look good? Forget it.

My team is more than half remote. We almost never plan software on whiteboards because collaboration is tough. But we do use them a lot for logistics, which tend to be dominated by the in-office folks.

Tech debt. You’ll never have time to pay it all down and even when you do, it starts accruing again quickly. If you can’t live with a certain baseline level of imperfection, you may want to look for another career.

Every other tool I’ve seen used would be an even bigger clusterfuck with massive dev teams. I can’t even start to imagine trying to manage tasks for 500 people in Trello or Asana or that rinky dink tool that I can’t remember what it was cal

Finding an awesome apartment with relatively low rent and then staying there even as my salary nearly tripled. For most of us, housing is our biggest monthly cost. If you can avoid “upgrading your lifestyle” as you upgrade your income, that

In the US, contractors also pay extra taxes (both sides of the payroll tax, ~15% of salary, instead of just one side, ~7.5% of salary). Smart freelancers also charge more than they’d make per hour as a salaried worker because contract work

What percentage of the population in the US are Mongolian or Eskimo? Given that black people make up about 15% of the US population, wouldn’t one in 7 be roughly expected in the absence of both discrimination and factors that systematically

Universities training tech talent won’t help Midwest cities all that much if all the developers decamp for the coasts immediately upon graduation anyway.

OP is probably referring to the types of books generally supplied to small children who are first learning how to read. They tend to be extremely short (no more than a few dozen words in the whole book); heavily illustrated; and use simple

Yes, I’m aware of the history of race relations in the United States. I just wasn’t clear on why you would bring it up or what it had to do with the prior conversation.

I have no idea what you mean by this comment. Or especially what ethnicity has to do with any of it.

It sounds like he didn’t mean it seriously, but I’m willing to discuss the concept seriously. Some of us think gender shouldn’t necessarily be tied to the body one was born in or currently inhabits (that is, gender != sex). Is there a conce

You’d keep a hand on a firearm just because here are 3-5 other people on the same 250-foot long stretch of concrete? That’s the most antisocial thing I’ve ever heard. And yeah, that would make it unsafe.

Not all states permit absentee/mail voting outside very specific reasons; and you generally have to sign a form attesting to those reasons under penalty of voter fraud charges, which are a felony.

Aren't we talking about urban settings? Building cities from scratch?

Sure, but if you already know the city just a little bit, you'll know which end 3rd ave is close to. You don't have to memorize the location of a zillion randomly named streets (where is the intersection of Grove Lane and Daffodi

Even if you're not traveling from one end to another. It's great to be able to figure out where you're going without a map. I may never have been to 90th St. and 3rd Ave in Manhattan, but I know exactly where it is and how

That doesn't compute for me - at least not in an urban environment. You're safest on the street where there are the most people; and criminals aren't going to try to break into a building if there's an audience. High f

And for some devs and some apps that’s worth giving up a 30% cut and dealing with Apple’s processes and restrictions. For some it won’t be, if they can distribute the app any other way.

One number cited in this article is scary: 30% of jobs in the US don’t pay enough for a single adult to feed, clothe, and house themselves. As long as this is the case, it doesn’t matter how far any given individual pulls themselves up by t
