Google products are a clusterfuck. I see a great future for a Google replacement (from apps, suites, to search) :)

My manager set no goals. I received an email in Feb (appraisal was April-March following year) that I did Ok but have to do better to get more money or be promoted. No goals again next year. Same feedback. Forced my manager to set goals fo

Reading books is honestly overrated. Especially popular non-fiction. If you are reading for pleasure, then so long as you are pleased, any number is fine. If you read for knowledge, you should be able to see if you have any chances of apply

Fooled by Randomness. i picked it up from my friend's dad's bookshelf in 2010/2011 by pure chance. Best decision ever.

Work in a startup only if it is yours or you have a significant stake in it, or if you have no other options. The payoff for "working" at a startup with respect to the risk is IMHO simply not worth it.

Went to jnd.org on my 14" thinkpad. Thin, small grey fonts on white background, makes me want to tear out my own eyeballs. Eat your dogfood, perhaps ?

RDS is expensive, but for a small team of 5 devs (my current setup) it is an amazing solution. Scaling up and down the database is as simple clicking a button on the UI, which we used quite effectively when our services saw a sudden spike i

Is one cigarette a day, dosage low enough for the body to benefit from it, or atleast not be damaged by it? Is a pack of cigarettes high enough to kill you if you smoke it all at once ? I know quite a few friends who get through a pack a da

You made your points well and I thank you for it. But my questions are behind the motivations of these alarmists mentally damaging our kids. How are movements like the Extinction Rebellion, Great Thunberg, being funded ? How is she getting

There is no question that the climate is changing. But what is the crisis here ? Are the apocalyptic warnings anywhere close to reality? And lets look at the proposed solutions: - Going meatless. There is more and more evidence that the me

Hurting people is precisely the point of all of this alarmism. The goal is not to solve the "climate crisis", but to subvert the guilt of the people for self-serving needs of the few that stand to gain for society taking up measur

Interesting to note that they are cracking down heavily on service and consulting companies as they are the reasons why most people find it hard to get a H1-B. FANG salaries are quite good and the increase in rejection % for FANG-ish compan

Mozilla makes a big chunk of money (or did) by making Big G the default search engine. They have employees to pay and servers to maimtain. Publishers online and offline have almost never made money without ads. The only diff. is tracking re

Carmack was able to choose his timings because it was HIS company. People worked for him, not vice versa. To be the master of your time, you have to work for yourself, not under someone else. When reality and idealism clashes, reality wins
