The research I've seen claims that the benefit of diversity is higher performance, not increased collegiality. They may even be inversely correlated. From a Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern) piece (1): "The mere presence

If that's the norm in the midwest, it's perhaps worth noting that the author teaches at Rose-Hulman, in Indiana (which has a phenomenal reputation, fwiw).

Couldn't agree more. Narrative is part of being human. Talking can be interactive (think Socratic method), but linear narrative--stories, poems--has been with us forever. Medium and friends recognize this. Apps like Talko do too in the

To me part of the allure of a passive income project is being able to control more than just the technical aspects--to be able to define the customer-facing and business pieces too. Perhaps more importantly, your chance of producing meaning

This is before AOL bought Netscape, before Loudcloud/Opsware, before Ning, before A16Z. It's interesting, knowing what came later, to see how he's described. It's a sympathetic profile, but it hints that he might be a on

Appreciate that you posted without self-promoting, but I'm curious: what's your bootstrapped project?

That is interesting, but not nearly so much as the piece--it's long, and worth reading in its entirety.

Thanks for the candid reply. Some juvenile part of me was hoping you'd say it was now a colorless, odorless gel. What prompted the question is the recent spate of articles on gut flora. That was the first thing I thought of when I hear

Depends tremendously on experience level, whether or not the designer can implement in code (ie, works in HTML/CSS rather than Photoshop), and other important factors. Having recently hired both designers and engineers, I can say with

The cuecat has had an interesting second life as a book scanner. Niche market, yes, but works great for the purpose.

Given the insane war for talent in SV, the idea of a neglected pool of highly competent engineers should cause a stampede to unearth them. It certainly planted a seed in my mind. I wonder if ageism is driven in part by social media. Us olds

This is unfortunate, and hardly unique to entrepreneurship. In 'Blink' Malcolm Gladwell describes how orchestras hold blind auditions, with the performers behind screens, to avoid this kind of bias. Perhaps VC pitches should follo

It was rewritten by the same people who wrote the first version--very different from the Vim/Neovim case, and from Netscape 6.0. And who knows--37Signals might well have reused some of the innards.

That's on a per-vehicle basis. On a per-mile basis they're dramatically more dangerous: per mile travelled, motorcyclists are 37 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger car occupants: http://www.aaos.org&#x2F
