I don't think the average engineer with 5 years of experience makes 250k; not even in the top 10%. And startups DO pay that much, it's just reserved for powerful exec hires. Just pay more if you want the best engineers. Asking fo

It won't make your condition vanish, but it will help you find out what is really happening. If it's not the gluten, and it's something else, wouldn't you a) want to know? and b) let off the slander campaign against bre

Why on Earth would you assume your intuitions are better than professionals combining intuition with methodology in good faith? The article we're commenting on (which you can discard more easily than I) describes a study you can reprod
