Apple has Engineering Program Managers which manage the product build. Sure, vision and design are provided by others, by the EPM (and other titles I'm sure) are communication cruxes. What products to build is decided by the exec team.

I sense a lot of hostility toward product managers here, and I don't know why. I could understand why, as a developer, someone would not want a bad product manager, but a good one should make a developer's life easier. Developer

Most complete is Medium -- basically minimal customizability, but you get an in-built audience and it looks great. It is free and might be a good place to get started. I really like Squarespace -- slightly expensive though, and very complet

There is a large cost to a system like this -- you would need to have sensors in different places around the building and sensors or motors on registers. You would need to give the system a layout of the building or run it through some sort

So basically, (at least some) states that created their own exchanges made a big mistake in doing so.

I know this team -- have a class with them -- and they are doing some really cool stuff. As an electrical engineer myself, I'm getting really excited about where this idea of functional 3D printing could go. Like I said, I am biased be

I would argue that hiring is not the biggest problem: people are. Hiring, firing, and management are all critical. Early on, finding people is about finding trust, motivation, and (to some extent) skills. Firing is about identifying that so

This is good. It makes me really happy to see someone actually solving these issues in a reasonable way rather than throwing hands up in the air and complaining. Better software and systems are better for everyone.

This is fundamentally a play in how smaller companies can take higher risk, more agile approaches to solve big problems. When a VC looks at this, he or she sees an asymmetric risk profile: huge risk bounded by losing everything. For example

If you are going to give something away free, make clear the avoided cost. Say something like: "A monthly subscription of WorkBetterFaster is usually $1250, but because you are offering to give us feedback (or helping us work out bugs,

Well said. I think there are valid arguments on each side. What, to me, seems to hold back a lot of healthy discussion is a reliance on anecdotes by both sides. It is very easy to assume that if you give an alcoholic father some money, he w

I have, too, and for some reason always assumed it was either some sort of abandoned funeral home or a sort of religious organization artifice, a meeting or banquet hall or something. It was always just a bit to clean, dark, and empty to b

This is a fundamental lack of understanding about what an exit strategy is. It is not about the CEO exiting. Private companies are a very illiquid investment. An exit strategy is something that exists to help inform investors about how they

As someone who has been in such a relationship before while on a very tight budget, I have respect for this guy. It is really hard to put up a post asking for business like this, too, I imagine. To the OP: Good luck to you. I hope you not o

Interesting. I did not know of him. I was always certain that Lonsdale did not come up with it totally on his own, but I do think that Palantir is a company that has done this very well. Thanks for pointing this out. Very interesting!

I am a big fan of what Joe Lonsdale calls human-computer symbiosis. He says that humans are good at certain things and computers are good at other things. For example, computers are good at looking at huge amounts of data. Humans are good a

I don't think this is really accurate. There are many reasons that the people who live in SF might not love the number of homeless that are in the city, but I don't think most of them are thinking "That could be me any day no

I like this in principle, but I think you have two types of users you are trying to serve. There are people who want to annotate, so they need the "Add Tag" and "Add Annotation" items. I just want to read them like margi

Over that time was also a massive tech bubble. What did the S&P 500 do over that time? A tech fund? Actually, I have that answer. If you bought AAPL on Feb 25, 2008 (or thereabouts, it was the only time in the last 10 years it was aroun

There are a few traders in history that beat the market in a statistically significant way for basically their entire career. It is a small number <20, but they exist. The issue is that everyone thinks "I can do that". Most peo

Even better -- try to find a low-fee fund that rebalances for you. Ever do the financial model for never rebalancing v annual rebalancing v continuous rebalancing. Continuous rebalancing's returns are very significantly higher. This is
