This (and tech like it) will be used for real time streaming and chatting, and we'll see a sharp increase in the number of virtual streamers/youtubers/etc. as well. Some may be run by teams, some a single person, these virtua

It's ok to make friends at the office. I have a lot of great friends from my last company and from my current one and I did pick a city. I've gone to their weddings, traveled together, and have developed friendships that have last

Same, and I have quite a few people on my team who can't wait to get back. A few days a week working form home, fine, but I'm certain most companies will come back to the office for this reason.

I'm a senior leader and I try to go against the grain on this. I can't stand pile-on emails where every leader has to reply all with "great job" for minor things. I work to provide positive feedback for specific and grea

I worked at lockheed for my first job as well. I found the flexible schedules to be great but less productive so I understand why others don't support it. Most of the engineers I worked with seemed to not be great at staying productive

I've worked with many recruiting teams as a hiring manager and many of my friends are hiring managers at other tech companies. We talk about how bad the current situation is across the board. The processes are all pretty similar and ge

It's pretty straight forward for public companies. You can map the value directly to stock and when you vest it's treated exactly like standard income, and you can (and generally should) sell. If you choose not to sell, you have t

I own some because I thought it was a neat idea when I was in grad school and talking about these concepts with other comp sci folks, but I have had a hard time finding use cases beyond speculation that aren't covered by other options

+1. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here being described, but pay-per-use, running of large scale ML training techniques across high end instances can be done today. Maybe it's not cheap enough for this person, but if that&

Generally, I advise people not to look for "AI" ideas, look for problems that people have that might be improved or solved using machine learning. Unless you are specifically talking about problems that ML researchers and engineer

I mostly run large teams who have handled both internal and consumer facing services. The software devs who don't have an inclination to understand the customer problem generally have not been highly effective and are not people I woul

by dbish 6y ago
Your job description of devs is very limiting. Software developers should be close to the customer problem, work to understand it, and develop for it. When you silo them away this way and expect them to be order takers you add bloat to the

Yeah, it wasn't hard for investment or tech employees to be accredited since that's mid-career (or less depending on location) pay. I don't see how this would change the decision of anyone who would want to hang out their own

Sadly so many of the guides and sites look old fashioned (or crazy low quality). I started working on a site for normal people that takes info about your location and family and suggest risks and gives recommendations and a way to digitally

What does that mean? Are you referring to "technical" analysis/tea leaves reading or is there some real information you're referring to?

I'll also add that one thing I like doing is highlighting and adding notes in different colors on top of docs, which a black and white e-ink display doesn't allow for, but the ipad does.

Yes, it does feel more like paper then an ipad, but it's a single use device and I use other apps on my ipad, so the extra cost and adding another device to the mix wasn't worth it for me. Maybe the remarkable 2 will be enough of

Tried but decided against the e-ink option. The reMarkable is nice and closer to paper then an iPad but I've actually come to like and use the iPad pro with an apple pencil for manual note taking. It gives me the hand-writing experienc

Then pay them more and give them a better situation. So many employers don't give existing employees the right pay increases to keep them from making more by jumping to another company. That's on the employer

This. You can't define a market rate as being lower then a bunch of other employers are willing to pay. Your market rate is what people will pay you. I see this all the time with saying FANG pays above market rate. Now if we're sa

I'm not arguing either way for whether "we" need to as a whole, but if you want to get the most out of your team and company (and you should if you're running a startup) I think you should look at in person options again
