"extending kindness" is a cousin of corruption. I think slack as well as rules can be systematically introduced to the system. Software lowers the cost to support "slack rules" (1 ride is free per year per human face).

Maybe it’s survivorship bias, but why do most famous tech and finance companies have this trait in common?

The productivity difference I think is controversial. Some (most?) of the biggest tech companies have a grind culture. If working 60 hours per week isn’t productive, why is Apple, Tesla, Netflix, etc so successful? I’ve had the full range o

Maybe? The docs say you have to build the swift app in a weird way (meaning you can't just convert your existing code to the new framework). Doing something non-standard hints bugs to me.

Personally, I focus on the process, not just the results. Process goals are actionable, and thus more motivating. Consider these goals: 1/ $1b/yr in revenue. 2/ 10 cold emails per day. Both goals may take you to the

I've worked at Yelp and Grab (food delivery) as an engineer on ads and moderation, respectively, but never directly on the reviews team. My sense is users want this, but no one will pay for it. Yelp does this already. Grab doesn't

I'd love to see the data on this. Usually when you increase construction costs, via additional regulation, you're going to increase the price of rent/sale. What expert thinks increasing costs will lower prices?

strong regulation increases costs (see all the permits and surveys required in SF). What are "excessive profits"? 10%? 15%? 25%? > experienced profit increases during the first three months of the year Does this even mean anyth

With an ETF, I can hold it for 20 years, and the value keeps compounding. However, with this other method, each annual rebalance takes value out of the account. Unless I'm sure I can outperform an ETF with this active rebalancing, this
