I'm a little bit dumber today for reading this headline. People in tech don't have any authority on nutritional practices. CEOs don't have any increased insight into healthy living. And the article itself just focuses on a ti

Sure, deleting unused or bad code is a good thing, or refactoring or rewriting something more tightly. But you can't implement a new feature just by deleting code. I've never been in a codebase that did more and more by getting

Some people, perhaps you as well, take offense at LOC metrics because they're (in theory) easy to game, via redundant code, whitespace, verbose vs concise languages, etc. And because good developers know that small code and systems me

Mayer is an amazing blues guitarist, and recognized as such. He tours with Pino Paladino as his bassist, a testament to his own chops! And Jack White, while not a "virtuoso" has mastery of the rock guitar language. It's not

Her mega-salary, like that of other comparable executives, is decided by other mega-rich people. It's no hardship for them to hand her (one of their own) enough cash to buy a small town. Let's ponder that $260M compared to every

Seeing a total scumbag get compensated over a hundred million from Google, and then hundreds more from Uber, is very demoralizing to me as a guy in Silicon Valley trying to contribute to technology and be paid enough just to live here. Sur

A Tech Union is a great idea, starting with Bay Area employees banding together for higher equity at startups. If VC-funded startups suddenly couldn't hire their first employees for 1% equity (against the founders' 50-70%) then w
