The bad IPAs you are talking about have dialed up the bitterness (because they seem to think that's what an IPA is all about) but are unable to create any of that wonderful complexity, aroma and flavor from the hops used. I absolutely

I think metrics are very useful but only when used properly. A lack of metrics means we can't always see what's going on and goals may be unclear; an overreliance on metrics is gameable and too impersonal. Laos, as the article ind

If you live in a Chinese-speaking country then, yes, it's a bad thing. There are plenty of situations in which you still have to write; at the post office, applying for things, hospitals, places like that. Maybe not every day, I'l

Maybe, just maybe, we should ask questions about people who have 10-12 kids or something like that, but a replacement rate of 1-2 kids seems more or less unquestionable to me. I mean, if you feel you don't want to bring kids into this

Dropbox is infamously full of weird edge cases, uncertainty and various sundry other weirdnesses. Lots of people feel that they never quite know where their stuff is, how the versioning works etc. Google Drive has almost none of these issue

Is the market really "oversaturated" as the writer claims though? IDK about the Bay Area, but in plenty of other places there just aren't enough developers to fill all the roles available. Sounds like "leverage" to
