(disclaimer: I work at Artsy) Writing a blog post like this is a form of retrospective. Would you agree that those improve outcomes and surface issues and are valuable? The only difference with those other successful companies making money

I think build vs. buy is a tangent debate. Engineers should build software that is the core competency of the business. Within that we can definitely debate who is 0.1x or 10x and whether less is more.

Slack team did a great job with this. Here's a fresh integration with Slack Button in Ruby, https://github.com/dblock/slack-bot-server serving a "Hello World" bot. Hope it helps someone.

A giant repo works for Google, and works for Facebook, and Microsoft, but it's bad for the development community at large. If you start centralizing your development you’re killing any type of collaboration with the outside world and d

I tend to hire people for what they will do, not for what they have done. AFAIK, full stack means someone who will be able to work at all levels of our stack to deliver something that works on top of the surface (eg. UI) or edges (eg. API)

Awesome story! In college we ran a website called "The No More Bzzz Bzzz Hun Hun" about the professors at the University of Geneva, in Switzerland. It was hosted in Sweden with X-Force (mrsaint.net), a pirate group. Similar idea,

Had a little nostalgia moment there with "Vozduwnij Boi" and the soda water dispenser. Those were 2 kopeks for a soda I think and 5 kopecs for kvas, which was so delicious.

I still send detailed rejections and so does my entire team. We get a lot of genuine thanks for doing so and some smaller amount of nothings meaning this was either useless or the candidate got upset. I try to minimize unnecessary praise an

Tenants never do this, amazingly. A slightly higher rent is washed away in 1 month of not having the place rented out, it's definitely not worth any risk of not being able to rent a place out for a higher rent, so you charge what the m

As a landlord I want 1) to rent out my place at the best price the quickest to the best tenant 2) to deal with the least amount of people possible. So I give my place to 1 broker only and let them handle that. Since I am also a renter the b
