Companies are always in the lookout for and hire great talent. When they say hiring freeze, it usually means they will stop hiring a generic cookie-cutter person or fresh graduates

Exactly! If you look at HN comments you'd think they all live this perfect life, never introduce bugs in their software, never make poor financial decisions (including mistakes of omissions). The whole comment section becomes a cesspoo

I read "Fooled By Randomness" 20 years ago :) Your rebuttal, is exactly my point. Leaders make strategic bets all the time, especially in the tech world where you have to constantly take risks. Not all of them will come off and le

If it were a bet that it was overvalued, the minute it reached fair valuation, the ETF should have been dissolved and distributed the funds. The fact that it still exists means, they are happy to collect fees from gullible people who are

So you have never created a bug in your life? Made a mistake? Your statement is as naive as "A Production Bug / Latency is a sign of Incompetent Software Developer" Should we fire you as soon as you hit the first bug? BTW, Yo

Real Estate from 20/21 appreciated 20-30%. With leverage you'd see 100%-200% returns. You can always sell now and realize that gain. At the end of the day, however you look at it, it'll be one of the stupidest financial decis

Where is this magical "elsewhere" part where there would be no layoffs? It's mind-boggling that we have raised a generation of people who are absolutely clueless about "Cost-of-Capital". It is worse than people not

How many financially bad decisions you made in 2022? Did you buy real-estate in 20/21 when the mortgate rates were 2%? If you didn't that's a terrible decision. Did you take responsibility and fire yourself as the primary br

Google's Market Cap was around $1.4T last year. A $1.4T should generate at least 2*(10 Year Treasury Yield) or 8% or $110 Billion in profit. Else, shareholders can simply buy 10-Year-T to earn risk-free profit. So Google isn't gen
