Because all these companies want their employees to "sign up" for the culture, to love being there, to believe in the mission etc etc. If you don't adore everything about their manufactured cult then you aren't a &q

I know this is off topic but Silicon Valley's obsession with building companies that are like cults really bothers me. Like this image from the linked page https://www.atlassian.design/react_assets/images/card

I've spoken to various friends over the years who start businesses doing something that they love. They aren't ready to hear the tough realities until they have hit the hard downside and possibly gone out of business. After that

I visited the beautiful pacific recently and even on very remote tropical islands there were plastic bottles in the water and on the beaches everywhere. Very sad - hopefully one day the world will come to see plastic as the scourge that it

How old were you when you wrote this? Looks like a big system - was this your first major project? I seem to recall OS/2 and a C compiler cost money back? How did you get to be using those, through work or did you buy them? Why did y

Careful with this one - I think Facebook own the patents on friends - their lawyers aren't keen on non-Facebook software that involves relationships. But seriously - it's a really good idea - make something of it before you get Zu

Friend relationships require active work to ensure they remain friends. If you are young this might not be obvious but as you get older there is nothing more certain. Friends who you do not make the effort to see in person do not remain fri

Seems to me that the reason this sort of thing happens is that in the 21st century there is a general expectation from people in power/authority that they must be obeyed, and that "common people/citizens" who do not obey
