   you know what most of us end up doing on those other days? we start side tech projects that require even more effort for even little return. You can't trust us with self-care. There's just too many shiny toys out there!

   Inside Meta, engineers are one of the kindest group of people. This thread would've been way more fun with a couple of middle managers and product managers in the mix ;-)

   For me it happened around my first week after the bootcamp, so about 6 weeks from joining. An important nuance - most Facebook engineers don't believe that Facebook/Meta would continue to grow next year; and that disbelief had bee

   1. The only result I'd expect from posting on launch platforms/software directories is a huge number of spam in my inbox to take my product to the top of the list. 2. Selling lifetime deals is the easiest way to become a slave of

   "Does a launch make any impact if there's no audience?" We've found most early-stage startups ignore social media until after a launch. Things like “$0 spent on ads” sound cool, but they don’t help if no one knows your p

    So, DoD has done what it said it would. And OpenAI has jumped on the opportunity. I'm curious what'll openai signatories on notdivided.org do now - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473 Remain undivided in

    I guess if your magazine's index reaches the height to have its wikipedia page, then, although it might not be right, but it will be pretty credible.

    Epstein files have more potent power in them than any nuclear arsenal. No way this many rich powerful people would go down without destroying at least half of the world.

    Just one thing - unless you're at a principal level or higher, don't quit as long as your conscience can take it. You'll be replaced by 10 other people overnight.

    Ok, but then what are they going to use? I don't see Google or OpenAI trying to fill this empty stinky shoe - the tradeoff will be too high for them. could this be an opportunity for Elon Musk to re-enter President's circle with G

    I get your point. The dilemma is whether to build something small that no one would bother compete against, or build something novel (which all of us want) but then risk someone with VC funding to come after. That being said, I think I need

    A counter-intuitive take: Facebook may actually do better as a business as high-resistance users leave (for the same reason spammers keep their messages intentionally faulty). From an optimization standpoint, knowledgable, hard-to-rile-up u
