Yup, me too. Have always met or exceeded expectations working a straight 40. This article is trying to generalize their experience on a bad team to the 500K+ people that work at Big Tech companies.

I play online games that have variable winrates bc you’re playing with a match made team. If I go on a 5 game win streak, did I improve? Is the game bugged? Nah, I probably got lucky and got good teammates. If I go on a 5 game loss streak,

They’re both easy. For someone who’s never touched Terminal.app, I figured something packaged like a standard Mac app would be easier to work with.

The space certainly seems full of Ponzi schemes and rug pulls. This article spends a lot of words carefully dodging around that.

The numbers are silliness, hard to take the rest of the points seriously. Average starting salary for engineers at FB isn’t $150K and there aren’t 1000 engineers. Looks like the author pulled these numbers from Internet sources from years a

OP would have to spend tons of money and hundreds of hours fighting this, then still have a nonzero chance of losing and going out of business. Always easy to say that someone else should fight it.

Dealt with something similar. Talk to a lawyer, they’ll tell you to settle. It sucks, but when you’re small that’s how this works. Fighting these could be a multi year process that costs tons of money and may require you to personally show

This isn’t a dupe. WSJ coverage this week is totally different than a Reddit thread a month ago and story has developed.

I think a lot of smart home gadgets are stupid, but we had to get a new garage door opener and all the decent ones are smart. It's amazing. My opener sends me a notif on my phone if it's been open for 10 mins and I can close it re

Yea, that was my take too. So much hindsight bais. - If I read Enron's financials instead of the news, I'd have gotten rich. - If I ignored Hertz's financials AND ignored the news, I'd have gotten rich. Author focuses on

The middle ground is the SSO reauth interval, where companies can decide that for greater security they’ll made you reauth every 8 hours, daily, weekly etc to balance it against user pain. Companies do this today already.

The CoL adjustment is max 15% within the US. If you’re moving out of SF or NY to a lower CoL area, you’re making bank just on the taxes, much less CoL.

When companies start pressuring people to return to the office, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a wave of quitting to switch to another company that’s more remote friendly. That will be limited by the actual number of remote jobs, so the

I have a friend with a $1200 smart trainer setup and he rides his Peloton 4x/week. The bike is way smoother and quieter than a Wahoo and he finds the coached workouts more motivating than riding in a CGI countryside.

I agree with many points in the article, but the idea that it’s unfair if one person’s body responds better to the shoe than another seems silly. Distance running is already a competition of who has better gene adaptations. I have a mediocr
