In my opinion, everyone is focused on the wrong thing. HOW these layoffs occurred is not as important as WHY. According to various sources, the company is about to go public at a $6.9 billion valuation. On top of that, it just got a $1.5 bi

Everyone is focusing on HOW the news was delivered. To me, this is not relevant. What people should be focusing on is WHY. The company is set to go public via SPAC at a $6.9 billion valuation. It just got a $1.5 billion infusion of cash las

This is how Redbox always plays hardball with the studios; don’t want to negotiate a fair deal for us to stock your movies? Fine, we’ll give our employees credit cards, send them to Best Buy, and have them buy 10 DVDs. Then we’ll have a piz

I consider myself a reasonably educated guy, and this article feels like a lot of gibberish and gobbledygook. I admit I read through this article three times and can’t make sense of it. WeWork ia a coworking space where you can rent an offi

Hi joosters, I work for Patientory. Please explain why the application -- which is not proposed, but has actually been in development for 16 months -- is dumb. After all, it only has the potential to make data breaches in healthcare organiz

I admire Mr. Hale's honesty and thorough examination of what went wrong. But something he said really bothered me. At the press conference where they discussed the foam situation, he called it "unsatisfactory" and then in hindsight, calls i

As a non-programmer, I absolutely love this. I was able to complete two courses within 10 minutes. More than anything, this makes programming seem like FUN. Well done and kudos to the Codecademy team!
