   True. But it's nice to hear these stories. My brother gave our old man $5K in his startup in appreciation for several months of sleeping on the couch when money got tight. During a downturn my brother lost it all. When the dot com

   Giving in lieu of services isn't illegal. I believe that selling them without some kind of legal preparation is. (Strange) Another challenge is you are limited to the # of owners you can have in a pre-IPO company.

   This goes hand in hand with his admitting he didn't know how to price them. :-)

   While I believe that class with Woz is awesome, I wonder if the video-lectures is the worst of both worlds. It lacks the interactive in-person presence of real classes (teachers making eye contact with all the students to understand who is

   An observation and a questions... I've observed that Group 2 (your 75%) frequently winds up in "Director of IT" positions where they can productively re-use that year over and over again keeping the ship running. Some of it

    Great app - thank you for sharing. Unfortunately the answer to this seems similar to most health advice sent my way, "Lose some weight!"

    I'm still very concerned by problems like this which have exponential growth rates. Eventually they get out of hand. It's not like we can write off an entire quarter of a continent.

    I think people are missing the big picture on what happened... This is not that the market is giving up on Netflix. It's that most of Netflix's value is based on an enormous increase in growth. Taking a look at their financials

    The subject (due to length constraints) unfortunately left out technology too. For all the knock that MBAs get, it's worth noting that to make money and survive, businesses must do two things: 1 - Create Value 2 - Capture Value Many of

    Many of my savings are illiquid. The amount of folks on 3 months or less should be very careful. You never know when disaster can hit. (That said, it took me 9 years out of undergrad to get a cushion)

    This reminded me of my most recent car purchase. I ran out of time (long weekend that I allocated to the search had ended) and couldn't call them out by saying, "I know I don't have to buy it at this price now." Their c

    I don't think there is a universal answer here on "Should managers code?" (Disclosure - I'm in an organization that does expect them to code) One general observation that seems to be missed here though... If you do cho

    I view the way to bill yourself as "What's the difference between me and the next best person for the role?" This means a talented engineering manager will pay you more than an HR person, and any way into a company that invol
