While I don’t love the harsh tone of the parent post, it’s not wrong. One of the most important skills you would need to succeed as a startup founder is to self-teach: the ability to use the resources already available to you (ex: internet

This. It’s called the “bible” for a reason. I learned to program largely by reading that book.

Woman here. I don’t find the name offensive or foul or exclusionary, though I don’t find it especially humorous either and could understand why it might make some people uncomfortable. With that in mind, I’d describe it as a bit crass; and

What aspects of your personality would be appealing to a partner even if you were broke? Cultivate those.

In this case, I’d say the only way to win is not to let anyone else play.

Even in urban areas it was not uncommon for young adults to live with their parents (and grandparents) until they married, at least up until the end of WWII. Women wouldn't move out because it was considered improper for an unmarried

Maybe it's not to cover healthcare costs but to cover other living costs. With climbing life expectancy; the decline of pensions; the 2008 market crash; and other factors such as the exorbitant costs of end of life care, today's

One thing that scares me is seeing how he's putting money into swaying how the media report on things. That one billionaire is willing to do such a thing to support the public good is great. How many are doing so for less laudable en

Given the negative environmental impacts of growing cotton, why would we want to grow it just to eat the seeds when there are so many viable alternatives?

Skim the docs. Come away knowing what it can do even if you wouldn’t be able to say off the top of your head exactly how to make it do that. Then go back to the docs or google when you actually need to do those things.

There’s an organization in New York called City Harvest. They collect extra food from restaurants, supermarkets, regional farmers, and distributors. And they distribute it to soup kitchens, food pantries, and special markets for the poor. T

NYC. Ticks off all but the last two. But salaries are more than high enough to make up for the high rent - especially if you’re willing to make some compromises about living by an urban rather than a suburban standard. I love it here. There

Trying to listen to how my circadian rhythms react to the cycle of light and darkness, and not to fight it. That generally means going to bed earlier and getting daylight during the morning commute. If you can sit by a window in your office

I think this can also depend a lot on whom you hire. If you make that a screening criterion, it’s not all that difficult to assemble an engineering team entirely of people who understand business goals, can communicate with non-technical ty

Status fields aren’t much help when you’re 8 days in on “in progress” for a ticket that was originally estimated to take 2. Often that’s exactly when you need to have a conversation. Scope is creeping; or the engineer is taking a poor appro

As a manager, I give my reports the choice of when to have our one on ones. Most choose times just before or after lunch or our daily standup or another standing meeting precisely because at those times you’ll already be disrupted. Maybe yo

A lot of people aren’t comfortable bringing up bigger picture issues - especially those around performance, career, or concerns about the company or team - casually. Having a dedicated time to talk about things like this on a regular basis

By defining one's terms (for instance, I think factory farming is cruel, but that killing animals is not - provided the death is swift and as painless as we're able to make it) and accepting one's own hypocrisy. In my case, I

Plenty of technology doesn’t replace people. Plenty of it isn’t harmful. Some tech even makes the world a better place. Yes, the intersection of those areas can be small. But there are jobs to be had and kept within it, and companies to be

Pretty sure I’ve seen a system like this in action. People sign up for our service; we send them a receipt (and for many of them, the cost is tax deductible); and it bounces with a message that we have to click on a link to enable it to go

I could think of a few use cases for rent over buy, but they’re all kind of edge cases: 1) I use my laptop almost exclusively at home or in other locations with a wall outlet available. If I needed to take it out and about for a day or week
