I love this take. It’s true, after the rise of modern tech post-2008, the top talent got rich off RSUs and lost their greediness. Greed made this industry what it is, in every innovation cycle (hardware, software, dotcom, mobile). We need a

Enterprise policy is one use case, where devs must use locked down windows workstations to dev on remote Linux hosts.

My guess is historically North America has had better coverage from Google Maps and the lie, so less incentive to build a crowdsourced alternative.

This. This just nails it. I honestly was in awe when I saw this repo, you don’t see these very often on here. So much Tier 1 talent in all aspects - product, UX, and tech. Flawless execution on all fronts. I’ve always wanted an easy way to

Awesome question to ask. Anecdotally in the financial industry, the corporate IT mindset is rampant even at supposedly “cutting-edge” algo trading shops. IT draws very bold boundary lines (no root access, unable to use new third-party libra

I’ve become a big fan of this multigenerational lifestyle which you’ve described, especially with remote work. You can truly have your cake and eat it too by having parents give free childcare during the workday. I have little ones running

Definitely the SEO backlinks- for example one profile I see is linking to an Indian escort service in the profile.

Really happy for the team and especially for the founders. They proved to be very technical and assembled a truly impressive engineering team, culminating in a huge exit. The founders deserve every penny of that $3.2b and deserve the very n

Agreed - I’ve learned that interviewers care more about getting the end result in the time window than demonstrating lower-level skills. Choose 1) The easiest high level language you can, and 2) the language used by the interviewer/fir

Thank you. The lack of the capital V also turned me off as a potential user of the site. Not only was it wrong once, but multiple times. I think it's mistakes like these that need to be really examined as a site owner.

This is great. It's critical to bucket engineers into levels with a checklist like this. Are they eager to explore every corner of the problem, from networking to the browser backend. But not in too great detail - not focusing on one t

Agreed. Problem solving is a skill separate from IQ and unlike IQ it can be developed over time. If you want to level up your problem solving skill, carry around a small notebook and pay attention to the problems you see in other people, or

Do you think some of these issues could be ameliorated by setting out guidelines in the very beginning such as sticking to a simple business model, saying you won’t scale past a small size, and outsourcing business-related work to 3rd party

This is a good way to look at it. I’ve given up Twitter and much shortform news for mental health, and haven’t had a good response to others saying it’s my “duty” as a citizen to stay informed. You can stay just as informed without giving i

This. Think of the marshmallow study where long-term planning kids turned out richer than the short-term minded ones. We need to push back against the Idiocracy mindset. It is our prerogative as the less reckless to breed and propagate our

Thanks, we started using Clubhouse about 7 months ago and have very few complaints. The main thing being it doesn’t have multi-second Lang after creating new issues. Clubhouse is the first Jira replacement we’ve tried that the devs actually

This, so much this. The main hero image is a tad pixelated to me and while not a huge deal, could be cutting into conversions. GP, to simplify the main hero consider making it a png. I know as a user seeing a slightly pixelated gif screams

Thanks for sharing, and I just want to say I love Edubase! As an adjunct frustrated with Blackboard, I basically went rogue and started using Edubase for my courses, converting a few faculty along the way. My favorite part of Quiz is how ea

Just wanted to give a shoutout and say Overleaf has been a great product for me and my team so far. Incredibly easy and clear collaboration. And if I need to go look at change history over the last six months, it’s there within 2 clicks. No

Here’s what has had me looking to leave in the past, make sure these don’t happen: Being paid less than the market and not receiving raises in line with my growth. I got a 50+% raise by jumping ship. If you don’t pay well, people will jump

This will be a growing model in the next decade and is imo much more sustainable for founders because the core business model isn’t torn apart and it’s easier to sell to $MED_CO or $BIG_CO as the exit. Build a small team, grow to $20-75m va

Seconded. Tracy stands out among all the startups I’ve worked for as being ambitious, approachable, and someone who seriously respects the opinions of everyone. My time at PlanGrid was uniquely more fun and productive than many places I’ve

Herein lies the basic problem: you are an expense to the company and will be paid as little as possible for the output the company wants and the cost of replacing you. Usually this means of course the going market cost of an engineer at you

I think the intentions of mainstream mindfulness programs are to introduce the very concept of meditation to those who wouldn’t otherwise consider it. If firms reached out with less practical forms of meditation, there would be lower uptake

I wish I could find/found a sort of engineering collective, owned by the employees and with a focus on work/life balance to alleviate the meat grinder that is modern work. I’d be ok taking a pay cut. The modern workplace is a sick

It truly is fascinating, the world of tools and ecosystems built up to sidestep inane security rules in organizations. Spoken from experience, this includes things like Anaconda in orgs where devs can’t use just any Python packages, or scri

I also had this conception, then learned most if not all of my items have been from Stitch Fix’s internal brands and that’s why I didn’t recognize any of them. I thought they were a curator of brands and styles I might want to check out, bu
