25% is if the organization is ultra efficient. I think most organizations other than select FAANG/Stripe are at 75%+. I think pmarca quoted the number to be something like 1:4 which makes the efficiency at 25%, 75% dead weight. FAANG i

Yep highly encourage to take a breath, at some regular cadence and contemplate on all possible paths. I don't know how to be effective at this though. You need some notion of feature management to accomplish this. I am looking to build

If you decide to offer advisory services on your own, then yes there might be some regulatory hurdles. You are not going down that route. Match making should still be fine, am not sure. Agreed about turning off existing users, but you can c

To add, the non tech crowd doesn't really know or have the time to learn about investing. They just need someone to manage their finances. The advisory profession is alive mostly because of this. Instead of acting as a lead gen to advi

The pain point raised was about annotations. So just providing an example framework that doesn't use annotations or any other code magic.

Java annotations are terrible to reason about. Once you get a hang of them, then it's somewhat easier. That being said, Spring takes these annotations to the next level of complexity. Spring boot just makes this more difficult to reaso

I never fully understood why students would go to a bottom tier law school and take out 200K in loans, when you very well know the value of a bottom tier law school. I mean, today is not the lack of information age. You can pretty much find

You got to be kidding ! I would say Taxis are shit. It's not like taxi drivers are leading stellar lives in their mansions. Most of them are struggling to make ends meet, while benefiting the taxi union or whatever shit that runs the m

Reminds me of feature flags. They seem sub optimal at a code level but highly beneficial at the System level. But why force people one way or the other ? Let them make their choices. Why not give optionality and then optimize. I don’t know

"Git for everything" is the first thought I had when I opened this article. I am trying to keep all my notes in Google docs and it's all good as long as you stick to their format. I can't edit text files in Google docs !

In addition, standardised tests do not have any bias about your past or about your education. Anyone can start from scratch, prepare and ace them. All other forms of admissions, GPA, essays etc have biases of other parties. Essays and recom

Am not from the US but this seems very risky. Is there someone at the government who can clarify such guarantees. Am also curious what are the high level logistics to carry out something like this. Do you seek an untraceable route to Ukarin

Purely anecdotal again. I had absolutely no concentration to write code about 5 years back. I treaded mostly a solutions engineer path since it was the most comfortable option. Somehow stumbled into running and my career path changed. Now I

I chime with this sentiment. The biggest issue in non-fiction books that I have is this - lack of a progress indicator. If it's a biography or an autobiography for example - I intuitively know the progress and this builds some sort of

This is pretty sad. Emirates, for all their glory doesn't pay their pilots well. I mean, what's the point in spending on stuff like fancy first class seats and all that without paying pilots well. True irony. Fanciest and the most

Well, I wouldn't doubt one of the best airlines on the planet. However, the article claims that they hire pilots with lower flying hours as they cannot find experienced pilots like American or United does. I fail to understand this. Ca

I would just build a simple web service using FastAPI and use React on the FE. FastAPI is a really nice framework for prototyping or even for building POCs. When the need arises to scale you don't have to to undo a lot of your work. Sw

So I took a weekend off to visit another city just for the heck of it, to figure out how inflation and COVID have impacted the travel industry. I am surprised. I flew to Mumbai on a low cost airline and stayed at a 5 star property. The rate

My lesson has been to neglect or ignore any statement made with certainty without any underlying data. The most credible statements ever made always had an element of probability/odds associated with them. That being said, some of the

So the key takeaway here is that the Plan, build(iterate), ship cycle works very well. Most successful teams stick to this. What is not clear to me is how an abrupt new feature with an urgent deadline fits into all this ? "We'll f
