Who are (or who do you expect) to be your primary core of users/customers? I imagine professional trading firms would be your most profitable customers, but it seems targeted or at least designed for the meme stonk day trader? Just try

Yeah I saw that, but I meant directly from Alfred or Michelle (both had been vocal advocates on Twitter prior to this blowup).

Still crickets from the Sequoia partners (Alfred Lin, Michelle Bailhe) who backed and hyped FTX and SBF.

Ah of course, billionaire Sir Christopher Hohn wants hundreds of people/families to lose their incomes so that he can potentially juice a few more percentage points of fund returns.

Off topic but I personally hope the meme/stereotype of the slovenly eccentric genius falls out of fashion with startup investors after this whole SBF blowup. It sounds like none of these bluechip VCs did any sort of meaningful diligenc

I would say that "living on Mars" could be classified as delusional.

That's what I've seen (from the outside, with some friends who work at Stripe) as well - it's the old investment banking / management consulting work culture, i.e. your job is your life.

This is absolutely ridiculous, but probably sounds plausible to anyone who isn't a software developer. """ Earlier Thursday in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, product leaders showed Tesla engineers the company’s c

If there's an actual business, then the VCs will evaluate and choose whether to bet on that. If there's no business, then the VCs will evaluate the founders and choose whether to bet on them. A real (successful) business AND extre

In what way is iMessage bad? It works amazingly well from my perspective.

Has anyone recently written a non-trivial greenfield project using modern C++20? Or know of any such interesting projects on GH with very well written C++20?

I can't recall a single day this year during which we've had what you've described. Certainly the "more often than real fog" statement is completely false.

[I'm an American] I've heard that the reason WhatsApp became so popular in Europe is because European cellphone services used to (still do?) charge for texts per message whereas in the US it quickly became commonplace for all serv

She didn't really "sign up" for it though. She was born into it in 1926. It's not like 2022 where she could've said "yeah, not for me, I'm moving to Santa Barbara". I don't see how she had any ch

Wasn't YouTube rewritten mostly in Go several years ago? Java and C++ won't be displaced as the primary languages at Google, but I think Go is in the top 4 languages they use (along with TypeScript).

Or said another way, economists are making a rational decision and choosing the highest paying industry, technology, which happens to be HQ'd in Silicon Valley.

I listened to the podcast episode yesterday. Apparently some (I think they only cited one person as a source) people use it as a form of motivation and focus. They also said some women view it as a type of equalizer. But the ultimate takeaw

'developer' and 'programmer' really are more apt terms - 'engineer' sounds more impressive though

Good point. There are probably 100 seniors at UC Berkeley EECS ready to sign up for this opportunity.

No clue in terms of dollar amount, but enough to buy nice houses in San Francisco, drive nice cars, and no worries about eventually having kids and sending them to private schools. They seem pretty satisfied but who knows behind closed door

I've had a few close friends quit and essentially retire at the age of 30, and it's only possible because they have wealthy families who gave them early inheritances - it's really quite amazing how rich some people are.

I've had some very positive experiences working with offshore teams, and I do think that large enterprises have plenty of value to derive from offshoring, but I were building a new startup today and knew that my competitors were relyin

They grew from ~40k employees to ~70k employees in the past 3 years... that's just too much hiring. Regardless of how well or poor the state of the economy is, slowing employee growth is probably the smart move.

I'm not affiliated with a16z in any way, so I can't speak for their thoughts, but I do know that it isn't uncommon for VCs to have an "IPO or nothing" point of view. They invested in Clubhouse at a $4billion post-mo

I think the founders negotiated a secondary in series A - took a couple million off the table. I imagine a16z likely had some clause in the paperwork that prevented them from accepting an acquisition offer this early (I'm speculating).

$4k is the going rate for a nice-ish 1 bedroom apartment in a good SF neighborhood. The people I know who have a partner and one child are typically spending $5-6k/mo if they're renting.

That's what I was expecting. Makes me think I might've caught one of the new variants. I'm quite fit and healthy, so I don't think it's a matter of weak immune system.

I recently got Covid. My original vaccine was in April 2021, shot #2 in May 2021, and booster in December 2021. It really knocked me out for a solid week + persistent symptoms and very annoying cough for another two weeks. I would happily t
