Shouldn't you be elated? If this is a repeat, just do what you wished you had done the first time around and Step 3. Profit!

You couldn't have actually put a lot of money on it (unless you bet one of your friends, or in the unlikely case that you or your family member works for LinkedIn). The trick with IPOs is that even if you had the shares earlier, you couldn

Tl;dr try someone out part time before hiring them full time. Ignoring the link bait title of the post, I think the OP's suggestion is good. However, it's usually not possible. People are working full time and don't have extra time to work

My guess is they have right of first refusal for any ex-employees selling shares. So the ex-employees would have to sell to someone sanctioned by Facebook, or the ex-employees could force Facebook to buy the shares back from them if they f

By that logic, only sustaining value for some period of x days would allow you to say the value of something is y. That doesn't seem accurate to me. How many days is x?

I'm torn between being happy that Lucene is getting a giant speed boost and my concern that the code is doing something magical which the programmers don't understand. If there's a bug and it has to do with the algorithm, how will they fix

Definitely a great example... but I find it disappointing that it is pretty much the ONLY example of this kind of company at that kind of scale that is brought up when topics like this are discussed. If it worked for Semler, why hasn't any

Fog Creek and 37Signals are probably more alike than either of us would care to admit (ha!) and I could see Joel writing a very similar article a few years ago when we had 20some people at the company. But what works there, or at FC, is no

True, that's what the definition of codegolf is but that particular site actually allows more than just codegolf (including puzzles that would be given on interviews). The name is not encompassing of what the site is about (I'm sure they'v

Seems low to me as well. They took 6MM in Jan '07. The only way a 50MM exit seems great (for the VC or angel) is if they got 50% for their 6MM. If they had an average 20-30% Series A, thats around a 2.5X exit... which isn't awful. It's
