That’s hilarious. She was COO of a company with 80K employees. She’s worth $1.6B. You think anyone is going to pay her an amount she’d care about to be a senior PM? You think she cares about benefits? Fidji Simo (who was 1-2 levels under Sh

For any size company it’s a waste of time asking equity questions to most interviewers, just like it’s a waste of time asking questions about benefits. Assuming your interviewers are potential future teammates, ask them questions about work

Sure, but now you're talking about a group set that's more expensive than most electronic shifting sets. I had 15 year old bikes that were great, but I don't have the irrational hatred for electronic groupsets that most of th

There is no cloud. This is how a bike computer communicates with the shifters on your bike.

Electronic shifting never has to be tuned, that’s the point. It tunes itself so you always have clean shifting, no grinding chains.

Only if someone is dumb enough to document in an email they’re firing her for speaking out. In the real world if you spend your whole workday investigating and criticizing your employer, you’ll eventually no longer work there. They’ll find

Yea, your thesis makes no sense. Refining that thesis into what Bolt/Fast/etc actually believe: - Conversion rates on the checkout page will be higher when user info is prefilled bc of less friction - This means conversion rates w

The $5B the FTC fined FB for privacy issues was in part bc of using two factor phone numbers for ads.

I was in the middle of an interview loop with Bolt mid-Apr, they canceled my onsite so they could (supposedly) prioritize onboarding people they'd already hired. Dodged a bullet there. Also did calls with Coinbase, Uber, and Twitter, w

They’re talking about Norway, which doesn’t follow US bankruptcy code.

Investment or not, you’re claiming people should only buy cars and houses for straight cash? News flash - most of this country isn’t sitting in six figures of tech savings.

A 32 tweet thread full of spicy allegations and you submit the one that’s about how they missed hiring targets for senior engs a year ago? FB had a hiring freeze for eng, this story is old news.

I do interviews at a FAANG. If you don’t want to post identifying info here, send me your resume and a paragraph intro and I’ll tell you what gaps hiring managers are seeing. Email is in my profile.

What an awful criteria. Your investors aren’t mortgaging or selling their houses. They’re just giving you other people’s money. Unfortunately, in a bad economy investors will hold all the cards and will be able to pressure founders into que

I don’t think I’d try to mix those things together. Same word, completely different things. In this article, a new grad who works on basic HR IT tasks for a factory is doing staff work. That’s not staff level scope in the Will Larson sense.

But she wasn’t VP, Director, Head of anything. Title was “product manager” which isn’t anywhere close to executive.

If you’re in the fintech industry, you probably shouldn’t be surprised that Stripe wants to compete with you. They’re getting into every vertical. Either Plaid was irresponsible and actually shared sensitive info w a possible competitor (I

I just read both of these. Designing your life is aimed at people deciding what to do with their life, based off the work they did helping college students decide what to do after graduation. If you’re already in a field and enjoy it, or ha

Not at FB at least, E6 ($568K) is M1 equivalent ($584K).

Yea, they all do. That’s who mentors all the juniors they hire. It can be harder coming from non-FAANG, but plenty of people do it every year, esp as all those companies are expanding. Gotta put in the LeetCode grind though, bc other than N

Man the 22 year olds in this thread are hilarious. Yes. With a one year old, esp during COVID, childcare time is time you can’t leave the house, can’t relax, can’t do anything productive. So yes, you make a schedule - you pick them up from

Do you own a major e-commerce site? If no, why should they have spent on advertising to you? They’re a sales company, not direct to consumer.

You seem to be vastly overthinking this. People have been building applications (including banking applications) using boring old relational databases for decades without losing data. Single master, replicated to another region. If relation

It was criticized. Jokes on late night TV, opinion columns, water cooler. If Twitter was a thing back then, it would have been memed hard. I think you answered your own question. If it’s a fairly meaningless protest, why should the counterp

A comparable gas burner would be $15-20 but nobody would let you use it indoors, so there’s no market for it. Look on Home Depot or Lowes website. Full cooktop w oven is a totally separate market than gluing four hot plates together. Induct

You seem pretty misinformed. Electric ovens aren’t garbage - most high end homes built today with separate ovens and ranges have electric convection ovens and built-in gas ranges. If you try out induction, you’d realize it’s superior to gas
