Same here. Current employer has a "take as much vacation as you see fit" policy and people take less than anywhere I've ever worked. I'm thinking it some genius/evil HR ploy at this point.

yes, I meant hacking on it when I said "hacking on it".

Damn, I've been using vim for almost a decade and didn't realize that /<term> worked as a movement so you can do things like y2/foo and yank to the second occurrence of “foo” (to use the example from the tutorial). That's why I sc

Glad that the TC article touches on it, but with the track record of YC company acquisitions and killing products (yes yes, I realize dropbox is an exception), it really feels like a leap of faith to trust a YC associated backup service. I

Same thing applies in job interviews and dating. The people opposite the table from you want you to succeed because no one likes giving interviews or going on first dates. They just want to fill the vacancy. All you have to do is not disqua

If a company was making excessive profit... I don't recall ever seeing this concept of "excessive profit" in any of my econ text books. Must just have been my lousy books. Care to define it?

According to the letter of the contract, it sure seems that way. I went over the contract with the HR team back in the states (I was transferred over to Oz) and they thought these clauses were very strange. Especially considering that Austr

Not sure about hiring but I just checked my employment agreement (I'm in Oz) and my employer can definitely fire me if I declare bankruptcy: *the Company may terminate your employment without notice (no payment in lieu of notice will be

Most VCs don’t care how long your company takes to show a return – they don’t get to re-invest proceeds of their deals, so if you exit early, the money sits in a bank account earning interest for years instead of contributing to their retu

I can't imagine he's actually going to hack on the product, right? Is something like this a prestige move?
