Depends on how you look at it I suppose... It's not unusual for growth companies to operate at a large GAAP loss. They were never losing that much cash, and they have recently become cash flow positive, https://www.macrotren

No. Shareholders have been critical of Twilio's performance, and therefore Jeff Lawson over the last year or two though... They're in a difficult place. They don't have the margins of a SAAS company and they've been losi

You're getting downvoted for this, but factually what you're saying is correct. He did lay of 90% of the staff and although people have claimed Twitter will die any minute, it hasn't. Whether or not a lean team is the way to

This is a great comment. Thank you for defending my comment better than I ever could. But yeah, the power comes from the bunker and other hard assets sheltered in it. The apocalypse bunker would in effect become a modern castle on the hill.

QA roles have been decimated. I get the impression that increased adoption and trust of automated testing techniques have enabled companies to justify cutting their QA budgets. I've seen similar layoffs of entire QA teams even before t

You're right, but higher energy costs has a larger impact on manufacturing and a relatively low impact on services where energy costs make up a smaller percentage of total costs. The reason tech is struggling right now (imo) is that Co

I really related to this. I keep wondering if my career peaked in 2020 and for a year or so I've become increasingly negative about my future career progress in tech. I'm kind of in the opposite situation to you though. Desperatel

I know this is a controversial view, but I think employers should not be allowed to run background checks unless important for the role (government work, access to children, etc) and where it is important for the role it should only return

It's almost inhuman how good some people can get at rapid and highly complex muscle movements with enough practise. What an amazing achievement.

It's forced us to pay more to retain staff in certain sectors which now have skill shortages since leaving the EU. That could be a good thing depending on if you're the person receiving the pay rise. I have no strong opinion on Br

I think the "image" part of it forces a certain type of content – typically more jokey / meme-like content which can be appealing to some. The other thing that makes imageboards interesting is that they differ to how most pla

It was somewhat deliberate, partly a misunderstanding (maybe). Let me try to clarify. I think people who cite effective tax rates are being equally misleading, but I appreciate I'm a minority in that opinion and therefore said what I s

It wasn't intended to be mean. I meant it more in the sense that they seem hire permanent staff more to manage existing services rather than do the more "challenging" green field work – which they seem to typically outsource

Just my experience, but their permanent staff are mediocre. A lot of the heavy lifting on gov projects I've worked on has been done by contractors and external agencies. Another thing I'd say is that £50,000 is actually a decent d
