Oh, I'm not. But I don't think the other Maps engineers took home $100 Million. Google clearly thought it was in their best interest, but I stand by what I said: As an engineer, the most well beaten path to wealth is building some

Worth remembering that Google paid this guy over $120 Million in compensation. He is a tech "1%"er, which really is saying a lot. That is hedge fund money. I'm not certain, but I think the average engineer would feel more loy

Retribution for discussing salaraies is a violation of federal labor relations guidelines. Companies can write that in their handbook but not enforce it. If they do, contact a lawyer and the national labor relations board.

As a software engineer who has built a side project that more or less pays my Bay Area mortgage here is my advice: Find an idea that plays to your strengths and build something with a friend/coworker who is a better frontend developer.

I think blaming drug companies and wholesalers just misses the point. Drugs are really good today. Not even the life saving types, but also things like migraine medication or acid reflux relief. If you suffer and have the means, you'll

I question the veracity that American's are working harder than ever before. I think we have higher wage productivity than ever before, and that is not the same.

Without patents, how much time and money would be wasted obfuscating how things work, making it harder to duplicate? Patents are about giving legal protection to explain how things work, to put it right there for everybody. That said, elimi

Or, were they paid one to begin with? I've hired people locally whose last gig was working remote for companies not based in SFBA and not making SFBA level wages.

Two hours at a standstill makes my head explode. I appreciate the biodiversity here. Also if you can possibly take a transbay bus they are usually better for me than Bart during rush hour. Just as fast and more comfortable.

This is how the market works. It's crowd sourcing valuations. It's not a bad thing. Do you have a better way to determine the valuation of a complex business?

You have to take it in context of relative volatility. There are products where a 12% move wouldn't be notable. In this case, it's under a week old. This expected volatility is why market makers do not sell options on ipo issues f

We built a python daemon that owns a shard of monitors, iterates them, reads recent history, and dispatches alerts when appropriate. The key things I thought were important when it was built were: - stateless (needs to be able to be arbitra

August is in Thailand where it's 1AM but I wanted to thank Courtland for having us on IndieHackers. We've learned a lot from these interviews and are happy to give back.

There are so many large tech companies in the Bay Area that all include stock-based compensation as a meaningful portion of your salary. Everybody on HN fixates on startup employment in the bay area. Sure, there are plenty of "starving

I can see us having a lot fewer problems like this in a world with far fewer parked cars. If you drive around 30mph on average, and hit 100,000 miles after 6 years, your car has spent over 90% of its life parked somewhere.

I totally agree. For me, weight training is about learning to sit with extreme discomfort and push through it. I think it's easier to deal with bad feelings if you look at them vs try to block them out. Training is practice for that.

I think people overlook how much time they spend with their body in discomfort. Too hot, too cold, legs asleep, chair is too hard, back aches, hungry, full, itchy sweater, dry skin, rash, sickness, disease, injury. I think, if you let yours

Here is the setup: Literally dozens of companies paying $150k+ (base) for engineers with experience. Upward pressure on wages and working conditions. Cross-pollination of lessons learned between companies. People always think about startups

There is a liquidity to the market here that is unmatched. Also, 200k plus here is not rare which I don't think you can say for many places.

It's not the best solution, but if the plan you subscribe them to is $0 in Stripe you shouldn't have a problem. This is currently what we do. I'd love to hear a better answer, though.

I wish I had a great answer to this question. If you get one, please let me know. But here are some details: - Our most valuable source of traffic has been Google. Spending time to write good documentation has always paid off twice for us a
