If the person enjoys their side projects, go for it. I'm not saying they can't. But on the hiring side I'm not going to require that all employees have side projects that match their day job.

Vesting _options_ aren't taxed until you exercise them. When you exercise them, the company's most recent valuation will include a value for the common stock you purchased, and you can get hit by AMT on the value increase from the

It's not important. You're skipping out on a large pool of fantastic candidates who have families and hobbies outside of work. People who save their best programming effort for their job. Relying on GitHub / side projects as

I don't expect my surgeon to do surgery in his spare time. Nor my plumber, dentist, gardener, or any other professional. I look at their past work history and reviews from customers and/or coworkers. I will never understand the be

I shudder to think how hard it would be - likely impossible - to use a bad git GUI if I didn't already know many of the git CLI commands. Even just, say, MS Word. If I don't know a feature exists, clicking around through dozens of

If you mute the channel and then configure slack to only show starred rooms and rooms with new messages, you can achieve this effect. The room will stay hidden unless someone says something, at which point it shows up in the list, unbolded.

Supply is only half of "supply & demand". Price increases discourage buying more than you need, which can help ensure that more people are able to get the things they need. Unfettered price increases may not be the best soluti

There was that article about the guy who loaded up a truck of generators and brought them to a disaster area where they were needed. He got caught by gouging laws, the generators were confiscated and never distributed.

If you're writing a python library, you should already be aware that there's only _so much_ you can do to prevent the library's users from using it incorrectly or oddly - this is Python after all, there's no private/

I'm not sure what's unappealing about targeting users that can afford to always have the latest and greatest. That's effectively exactly what you're doing if you choose to Target iOS over Android.

I find nothing wrong with either approach. "Service providers" that are neutral are fine by me. Free speech - the concept, not the amendment - would not work in the current connected world if every service provider had to "ok

If you want me to work remote full time, I need a raise to cover the cost of getting an apartment or house equivalent to my own but with an additional room to turn into a dedicated private office. Otherwise, I'll take an appropriately

Funny, I prefer Lyft because tips are optional, and since it's integrated in app, I never have a Lyft driver begging for a cash tip.

I usually avoid making comments like this, but I'm surprised I had to go down so far to find a mention of Uber's existing tip culture. It's far better for passengers for tipping to be app integrated, and thus optional with le

The money argument is an odd one to make. Why would paying imgur money per image be substantially different cost wise to self hosting? At reddit's scale, it would be a similar hosting cost whether done in house or passed along to a 3rd

Most editors I've used will let you adjust indentation with the tab key in that situation. (The indentation still ends up as spaces, of course) I do this on a daily basis to adjust my indentation in json/yaml files.
