I've been envious of the VMware campus in Palo Alto - seems like an ideal environment if WFH isn't an option.

(Aware of the fact that I'm taking time out of my day to read HN) I really wonder how many adults > 25yrs and < 60yrs have the time to immerse themselves in any type of digital world / metaverse experience. If I was a teenag

It seems like he spoke and acted as he does now (at 36yrs old) when he was a 19yr old kid at Stanford, so he was the hotshot whizkid that SV fetishizes. Then he joined the first batch of YC and hit it off with pg. He basically cemented a re

From what I've seen, I agree about some of the grads being fantastic - the types who could have been extremely successful in a traditional college CS path if they had chosen. However, these are few and far between, the exception to the

The renderings are awesome because it's the phase when architects let their true artistic vision shine without much thought to cost. Then reality hits, and the buildings (usually) never look even 25% as nice. But in this case if they c

Use the right tool for the job. SQL databases are not always the right tool. NoSQL databases are not always the right tool. If you think an RDBMS is the best choice for every problem, then maybe you should stop and ask yourself if it's

I generally enjoy reading Chris' writing and listening to him on podcast interviews, but I do feel like he tries really hard to pattern match and force crypto to fit into his idealized future based on his clearly well-read and well-inf

Yeah true I suppose there was some bias in my assumption. I was thinking specifically about relatively well known Bay Area startups... say you're a Senior or Staff Engineer at a startup that has raised from top tier VCs then hypothetic

I think the main advantage of working at a startup is when you're relatively young and inexperienced - you're being compensated in the experience and accelerated job titles that you can then leverage to ramp up your career by join

This is a good 'best-case' example that anyone could hope for, and like you say - you probably need to be one of first few engineering hires to have a shot at this type of outcome.

It's a spectrum of course. Some people thoroughly understand it and still think it's rather boring or dumb. Some people thoroughly understand it and, like yourself, think it's a revolutionary game changer. And most people don

When a productivity app raises $50m at a >$2b valuation, they have to focus on very large teams / enterprise.

I think you have a very particular point of view. The vast majority of iPhone buyers haven't given this issue more than 2 seconds of thought. The vast majority will buy the next iPhone (or the one after that). And they'll buy anot

I agree with this - it's the human connection that does it for me. As someone else already mentioned, seeing the brush strokes on the canvas and knowing that the physical thing in front of me was crafted by the hands of the artist howe

I could make a case that Airbed and Breakfast was somewhat of a "terrible idea" at the beginning... now with an $80+ billion market cap... they executed well.

$100k still goes a long way in the majority of US cities. If you want to live in SF, NYC, Seattle, Chicago, etc then sure you might need to be making a little more, but if you think $100k isn't a good living then your perspective is a

I had never heard of them before, so I found this article[0] which gives me the impression that they're a 'creative nyc agency / art studio'. No idea how they convinced professional investors to give them millions of do
