I've applied there, but you kept ignoring me. Good background (3 years full-stack at good companies), but I have been out of the game for almost 3 years due to illness. Can't believe that's enough to end it.

As employee number 1 ask for 2-5%. Or more.

The fact that this has to happen to have content rise to the top is a bug, and it needs to be fixed. It's understandable that many people won't visit the "new" page, and that most consumers don't upvote, but that do

C was trivial to learn, don't listen to them. I learnt that first, and it made learning other languages easy (most popular languages are modeled after C). Mobile is a hot market, so it'd be good to learn Objective C. Also, Javascr

Ask a lot of people. Ask them about their daily frustrations. Ask them to share what they think the big problems of the world are. Post on forums online, go into chat rooms, etc.

I do not. Pick a market you think you can etch out a place in, then go for it. Sure, do some preliminary testing to ensure you're not wasting your time, but that's it. Every market is ripe for disruption, save the few that have &q

I don't see the obsession with calling this feedback harsh. I'd kill to have the feedback shared on this site (it's not like you are obligated to listen to anything), and it doesn't offend me in anyway. I actually like w

I failed people that didn't pass the technical part of the interview. Nowadays, people seem to care less about this technical aspect and more about whether they like you (but perhaps it has always been this way). They also seem to be s

I think Facebook will disappear, but it may take a bit longer than 3 years. Also, they won't completely disappear, they just won't be as used as they are today. I think a lot of people are getting bored and frustrated with the ser

It's not that they are spreading themselves too thin, it's that their products aren't that great. They keep missing the mark, even when what the product should be (and what the user wants) is obvious.

I'm great at backend, frontend, and design, though design is harder for me. I'm also great at marketing and am often called a liar because of it (my vision of the future seems so far-fetched that people have problems believing tha

I'm like this currently, but not willingly. You can take supplements to get your motivation back (like Pramiracetam), or you can find something you are interested in. Watch a good movie, read a good book, talk to the right person, then

I think almost every company making money spies on their users or sells their information. It's getting harder to avoid this reality while continuing to have a well-paying brand name job.

(Slightly related..) I like AngularJS, but I very strongly disagree with the idea of the one page app. I don't know what else to say. It just seems wrong. Javascript was meant to make the page more dynamic and responsive, not take over

If what you say is true, then the initial part of the story (following you as soon as you drove out of the driveway) is profiling. Why would driving around raise a red flag?

I've always thought that perseverance alone wasn't enough. Perseverance is simply something that's often missing from the equation. That is, someone figured out a winning formula, but didn't stick to implementing it long

I'll give it in 2: ancient history. That said, I hope I'm wrong.

Slightly off topic, but everytime I use Java I start to get this dull, drained feeling and my brain begins to slow down. And no matter how far and wide I look, applications written in Java frequently end up being slow or need many servers t

Were they ever actually an innovator, or was that just clever marketing? Either way, they have definitely gotten worse as far as tastelessly copying whatever is taking off or seems like it has potential.

This is usually what happens in INTJ dominated environments. Trigger happy and sometimes nonsensical.

I always wonder how Google manages to have so many vanilla Engineers given how high their standards are. I don't think their standards are high in the "needs to be smart" sense, but in regards to all the other BS. Or they mus

I agree with what the article says about outsourcing things that aren't core to the business. I was responding to and disagreeing with another point the article tries to make about the use of employee time (which prioritizes the short-

I agree with the idea of not wasting time, but if you follow the advice given here, you'll come across much like a narrow-minded idiot middle/product manager with an extremely short-term focus. Your choice. Programmers need to gro

Why would you need to have something to hide to want privacy? What bothers me about being watched or spied on is everyone having their nose in my business. I also see it as an insult, as you are essentially degrading me and treating me as t
