The idea that people really work 80-hour weeks is TOTAL BULLSHIT. It's only self-aggrandizement. 80 hours a week means 11 hours a day every single day. That means you wake up at 8am, roll into office at 9am (ya, show me a startup whe

I find that self-taught people have a bias towards self-taught. They see it as a reflection of passion, because that's someone who took their own initiative to learn. I see it differently, for two reasons: 1. The best programmers I&#x

This was a long time ago (1994), but even today, if you're writing a 3D renderer from the ground up, your polys are gonna pass through a big ol' pipeline to get onto the screen. No way around it.

It'd be great if instead of founders generously giving to employees post-facto, startup contracts were more employee-friendly from the beginning. How much % should engineers 1-10 demand? One percent is typical for eng #1. On day o

Sorry, my original point must have been very unclear. In a typical startup, the ratio of equity between founder and employee #1 might be 50:1 or even much more. I am always surprised that people sign up to be employees given how fast equit
