No one said the board didn't agree to pay her. The people who agreed to pay her obviously did not consider it obscene or they would not have approved it. They probably have similar compensation at their own companies. On Hacker News a

Well, the concept is ludicrous, and it's been refuted by studies. So, quack quack?

Is Austin doing well? I keep hearing "Austin has tech!" but I've found it hard to find impactful companies there. It seems like every year when I look them up, most of the companies from the year before have disappeared (mi

There's certainly some types of startups where the risk rationale does apply. For example, the founders who went with zero pay for two years and got an early working version and happy customers before hiring their first employee. Yea

If you go in to a startup and say "I'll take 15K a year w/no benefits" you'll get a flat-out NO. That big exit-event equity is not for engineers. It's for founders.

Assuming the founders held 30%, the employee equity was 1/30,000th that of founders. I don't understand how engineers are ok with their boss getting 30,000X their compensation.

This reminds me of this time I went to Olive Garden, and asked how the penne bolognese is, and the waitress said "It sounds like you feel penne bolognese is the king of pastas to eat; why is that?" Before I had a chance to answer

To be clear, you're questioning my motivations (perhaps implying I condone sexual harassment)? Or you're questioning the original commenter?

Of course, you can make any assumption and come to any conclusion you'd like. But you still don't know.

Right now all you know is that blog post. There's no denying that there may be another side, which can only be known after they investigate. That's the basic principle of our legal system... why wouldn't it apply here, de

TLDR: His interviewers were young and seemed stressed. One guy implied you should work long hours. He realized mid-interview it wasn't for him. Finished interview. He feels bad for drivers.

Wouldn't firing the manager, plus the inevitable internal memo, plus the fact that everyone there will be talking about this tomorrow, enough to cause meaningful change within the company? At the very least, this should dissuade manag

IIRC there was just one fragment of a scroll found years ago, with the cryptic message: "koyìsˀərun χàd ləwaþ χàd va" Which loosely translates to: "Will anyone really believe this stuff?" It's unclear what it was re

Ok great. So now I want to buy this. With a hard drive, etc ... I want to go a purchase site, select my specs, and hit purchase. NOT SO FAST. This is a Kit. I have to buy the components separately and assemble. Hurray for roadblocks.

You should stay. Then when the launch has a problem, the company has one more developer to scapegoat, and they'll be oblivious to your loyalty as they humiliate you and your team in the next executive review.
