Spot the engineer looking to build something without doing any real empathy research first. This is why the Metaverse is currently flopping, bruh. Take a step back and stop getting erect over tech strategies. Ask if people even want this fi

The last quarter of the year is not really a huge time for hiring.. a lot of companies are finishing up their budgets and waiting for new ones to hit to post jobs in the new year..

It's as if millions of design files screamed out and were suddenly silenced. Fuck Adobe.

They died. Mass extinction. We are ruining the earth. It’s almost like all of this technology comes at a cost.

What user research went into validating that people want this kind of coupling of tech to a desk? We all saw how poorly the Magic Bar fared with Apple... Just curious why anyone would want to have apps integrated so heavily into something s

I'd rather housing in the US follow Japan's model and depreciate to a value of nothing over 30 years. Why? It'd drive investment into other avenues, keep commodities cost low, and get more people into houses. The current hous

It looks like you're only hiring for UX researchers? No product design roles?

So, isn’t this the premise for Starship Troopers and how Zerg/Tyranids operate in StarCraft/WH40k?

Waiting for Ryan’s tweet storm eagerly to see how blame is shifted to VC and Stripe.

I eagerly await the next Twitter meltdown that this article will undoubtedly manifest from Ryan. "Stripe clearly owns the NYT."

Well, you don't see too many homeless people or citizens failing to receive medical treatment or retraining if they fall on hard times. It's a compassionate society when it comes to care. I'm sure it's cutthroat in the b

I'm not saying that it exhibits heavily in everyday interactions. I saw discrimination primarily when it came to club admittance and service at bars. But the most easily seen discrimination is definitely in hiring practices and "d

Well, that's just the thing.. We pay for healthcare already.. There's just this middleman in the way (insurance) taking the money instead of allowing us to pay directly to the government. The more layers you put in between a patie

It's lenient for certain sectors--programming, engineering. Niche STEM stuff where English is expected as the uniting language. But for anything else, it can be very difficult to move there. But that leniency only comes into effect whe

I don't know if this is done in good faith, but perhaps more as a "screw you" to China. India and China don't have the best relations, nor does Japan wish to see that change in the future.

It's funny and a bit of a sore subject that you ask. I'm currently waiting on a final offer and COE (for a visa) from a startup founder in Nagano whose company might be imploding right now. I've learned the language, and I ha

Unfortunately, Japan is highly racist in their sponsorship of immigrants. They will take white people over other races every time. I'm not happy to recall the treatment I saw Indian tourists receive during my time in Shinjuku.

I'm not saying it's the only solution. This is an interim improvement that helps their country in the short-term while giving foreigners a nicer place to migrate and assimilate into. Obviously, this problem is more systemic than w

I'm not talking about turning Japan into a bastion of liberty like the US with "give me your poor, your tired, your weak". I'm talking about skilled workers that are willing to assimilate. I haven't taught myself Ja

Correct, my apologies for not fully articulating. USA is extremely centered on "let the individual bear the burden", not "how can our society rise to the occasion". Sure, we have a better choice of who we see and when as

It's a complex mess of lots of factors. Economically, the CPI is extremely resistant to change over there. Companies apologize for raising prices by even a few pennies. Nationally controlled zoning practices keep residential buildings

I think it's about time their government stopped perpetuating their desire for ethnic purity and start letting some skilled workers in. I can name about every friend on my fingers that wants to live over there instead of the cutthroat,

Shopify absolutely underpays its tech employees. It's often below market average, but they think the prestige of Shopify is akin to Google, so people will settle for less.

So is this why Shopify pays peanuts to their employees? For the big acquisitions?
