It is complicated at scale and over time though. Look at Saas infrastructure: How you do it as you grow constantly changes the results of any evaluation.

How often do you build in house tooling or applications that have no ongoing operating commitments? It's upfront capital investment plus generally unpredictable maintenance vs. More predictable but maybe higher operating expenses

Your approach doesn't save any time or effort for the hiring company though. It's the in depth interviews that take up so much time. You may not like it but this is their motivator, not being nice

This is better for sure, but if you're trying to get someone really good to leave their current job (hint: They always have a job) it's as much the time as money so it still doesn't work well

This is true for a lot of important drugs that don't have massively lucrative markets to recover their investment. This means fewer new antibiotics for global issues and more penis pills.

I suspect the economics for this only work because all drivers are contractors. The founder spent a lot of time highlighting the factors that support the contractor story but with recent changes in specifically California I'd be wary;

I agree. My 1:1 invites explicitly frame them as an opportunity to point out where I'm failing in supporting your goals, things you want to accomplish and questions you have about anything from the trivial to the strategic. I don'

As a manager i would fight this approach because the 1:1's i schedule are for an exact flip of the relationship you describe. I certainly appreciate and encourage these feelings across all my teams, but unlike ICs it's my job and

I love how everyone immediately goes to "you were doing it wrong". Gee thanks. It could also be you perform at a very high level and your body is aging, you have an underlying condition that had never had a chance to fully heal, o

3 days? I'm glad you got better but this is not a serious or chronic back injury under any definition.

Isn't the real debate about the cause of climate change, and hence the best addressed aspects? I would hope all true scientists can agree on what they see but still debate there underlying phenomena and this the predictive models

I built something similar called "wage clock" that ran in the system tray. The killer feature was you could set sub timers for things like going for coffee or to the bathroom. All of us 20-somethings in our first real job loved it

Except Amazon owns ring and all that cloud based video footage, so good luck getting far with that evidence.

Don't confuse a software product with a business model. Their own words state they've "solved" the previous human problem of fashion without figuring out a viable way to capitalize. That means they don't yet have th

Agree. The unspoken tenet in my family has always been you enjoy enormous advantage; your responsibility is to leave the next generation better off than where you started. The nerve of people wanting their life's contribution to be a n

No way. They paid for all the actual work and took a cut. He wasn't a single founder doing all the actual Service work

Except they've worked hard to intentionally become what can be classified as a public broadcast medium. They can try and refuse service but it's unlikely they won't be compelled by the courts or legislation to provide open ac

Don't conflate the medium with the quality of interaction. Not on FB != hermit, that's just what Facebook wants you to believe. I prefer deep personal relationships with few over hyper connectivity. Others may want a broader, shal

You don't get to have one without the other though. That same conversation with Bob at the end of the day when you talked about crappy 90's VR in movies is when you find out Bob is writing an emulation library at home for the turb

Keep in mind remote work doesn't mean isolated, individual developer unless it's a very small project or you're doing it wrong. I object to the characterization in this thread of all casual coworker interaction a being socia

by fhbdukfrh 7y ago
I agree with you, but it's unlikely to convince the other camp. How about purely selfish reasons though? There is a finite limit on what a single developer can accomplish. By definition a high performing team requires excellent communi

People are both complex and can change though. Maybe we should give up our worst aspects as we grow and learn. Figure out your core essence and protect it; identify the accidental and be open to alternatives. I know that as my experience ha

The only thing harder than working remote is managing a remote. It requires the combination of a super disciplined high performer and counter intuitive communication strategies, both of which are rare and hard to pull off.

I don't agree. True ambition is very self centered, almost egotistic. The detractors never have as much invested as you and are largely irrelevant. You don't do it because they say you can't, you do it because they don't

Shouldn't you be doing this as a positive for yourself, instead of for a negative, external motivator?

They have real value in building team: We are all standing around in a circle; our alignment means something. They're also one of my easiest ways to include remote workers- they always go first. (the phone is part of the circle)

I've also heard this proposed as a risk of vaping. You get hooked on nicotine, can no longer afford expensive e-juice and switch to cigarettes. I think it's too early to know if this is the case, but the complete opposite of what
