Well, I can see how some people might take that the wrong way and interpret that as getting laid off. And yes - the reality is that companies are non-fungible and every company will have different values, levels of team talent, investment i

Expecting anyone to stay 4 years in any 1 place is at best unrealistic and at worst sacrificing their potential for the team’s success. We shouldn’t be surprised when people fly the nest, and for what it’s worth this happens at even the bes

Has he considered putting up a portfolio on a personal site or Dribbble and linking to it on his resume or LinkedIn? I’ve found it to be the highest signal thing, above education, work experience, etc.

Isn’t tiktok gaining ground against instagram?

Well...yes. I think we're mostly in agreement that these arguments are meaningless because they can always be created, for every thing. So the next time you hear an argument that falls into 1 of these 3 buckets, be skeptical both ways

His arguments are, paraphrased: 1. It hurts nature. 2. It's too expensive and destroys existing jobs. 3. It's unlikely that it's better than the current tech. And that he won't fall for the "propaganda campaign&quot

Just open the default stocks app on your phone, hit nasdaq and set the window to 6m. Who’s really cherry picking?

Marketing advice like this is extremely underrated on HN.

Google had amazingly below-average dev tools when I was there. It was standard in my org to have multi-minute builds, with input/output streamed to/from a remote server. Yes, every keystroke had a small but perceptible delay. I w

To offer a different perspective, I was an early engineer at a startup with strong talent that followed this playbook. Things were fine until I realized upon interviewing for fun that I was massively underpaid (2-3x). I was pretty young a

Thanks for being one of the few readers that does a bit of fact checking on news - keeping the old HN alive.

If that seems crazy, wait until you hear about these companies called Stripe and Visa.

Big O is a useful vocabulary for comparing efficiency between different approaches. Binary trees are abstract, yes, but I prefer them to spending an extra 5-10 minutes listening to an interviewer describe a scenario that ultimately still bo

I’ve had this happen to me too. When I had only 2 years of experience, I was asked to code parallel dijkstra's in an interview. That startup shut its doors only 2 years later - guessing a hiring issue. But at the same time, saying “it

Extraordinary is subjective though, no? If I were working at a dot-com company at the turn of century, it would have been extraordinary to me that there were people that didn't believe in the internet and still used white/yellow p

My comment was a rearranging of the first paragraph of the GP. To be very clear, I feel souring on someone because of their beliefs is a form of closed-mindedness. I’m not sure how a productive discussion can happen when both sides pre-jud

Maybe a little direct, but you don’t see the irony in being soured towards anyone in the space because they’re not open to criticism?

Odd - guessing there was some client-side caching at play in my HN reader app.

Shouldn’t it be reverted to the original title? I remember that was the usual follow up.

Why NameCoin? Why not .eth / ENS that’s already supported in Brave?

Great write-up. As a natural nerd, took me 5+ years of unintentionally offending people at work to figure out the same lesson. Turns out nerds are somewhat overrepresented in early startups, but the trend doesn’t hold as companies grow! An

One working theory is that emojis increase conversion, retention, etc. [1] That being said, the reality likely depends on your product and audience. [1] https://www.leanplum.com/blog/powering-engagement-with-emoji...

To be fully clear - for how they align with the 3 points I raised, Ruby/Node/Python fit into 1 bucket (no, yes, no) and Scala/Elixir/Haskell fit into another (yes, no, yes). I'm not trying to derail into discussing

By all means, I encourage everyone to learn Elixir, Scala, Haskell, or other similar, functional, immutable languages for personal growth. The points I raised earlier in the context of choosing a language for building a company apply to all

To preface, I share a lot of the same sentiments as the author. My Elixir was Scala - learned it inside and out, then picked up Akka which taught me a lot of neat Erlang-derived principles. My favorite quote is "Make it work, make it

If we're talking about car phones, which I admittedly know very little about, those were released in 1946[1]. So that would mean it was ~40 years until they became popular for rich executives. I think it's fair to say that crypto

By that logic, we should have given up on the idea of cell phones in the late 20th century[1]. FWIW Motorola released the first commercial mobile phone in 1983. [1] https://ourworldindata.org/exports/mobile-and-fixed-l
