VCs invest other people’s money from funds they raise, thus removing “skin in the game”. The risk they bare may be reputational at best. Hedging bets with others peoples money is not real risk taking.

I just watched a talk On why simplicity matters by Rich Hickey from Rails conf 2012, and I think this discussion is a good example of easy vs simple. Tailwind feels easy because it’s proximate, flexible, quick etc. but it makes the markup

As someone with more carpentry experience (paid) than dev experience, but strong interests in both worlds, I’m curious how you would reconcile taking an approximate 50% reduction in comp. Don’t know the numbers for your area but knowing Bay

Their known status as one of the most desired/premier incubators in SV (if not globally) during the post dot-com era, coupled with the number of applicants, founders, and investors they touch, would give them a fairly accurate reading

I never thought of it from that perspective before, thanks for sparking that thought experiment.

Feedback loops should be coming from customers, not outsiders. That would be noise, IMO. And if that one core sentence is what he believes, I think the whole post could have been more clear and concise instead of making a grand claim that i

I’m familiar with divided lites and your description of a modern SDL (simulated divided lite) vs TDL (true divided…) but I don’t think it’s in the same category of “architectural trick”. This post is on a change in scale/proportionalit

I disagree. I think humans have a higher creative ceiling and so the truly moving, life altering pieces of art will always need that human element; I’d rather not waste my time consuming the AI content when it’s peaks are lower. AI content

Programming and web dev are challenging disciplines that take a lot of time to learn and feel competent with. Years not months. You need to seriously realign your expectations. Lower them. You will not build beautiful things after 3 months

Not curious, but thank you. While you may be right in regard to the ratio, the problem of that 1 and human psychology has damage done. Also, dealbook interview?! That trumps all the other articles, IMHO.

The press moves faster than the justice system and based on the facts that were public, their willingness to toss him softballs caused many people to rightfully question their journalistic integrity, simple as that.

Financially, yes. Physically? I’d bet good money most electricians are in much better physical shape. Pulling wire, climbing ladders, using hand tools… it’s more physically demanding than people think. (My cousin is a journeyman electrician

I’m a little confused by this comment. Agriculture, including the almond growers, only pay for the cost to permit, construct, and maintain a well, as well as electricity for the pump which is almost negligible. Municipalities may have a wat

Wow, this is a pretty big swing-and-a-miss, honestly. This discussion is about finite vs infinite in Economics, not physics. Arguing that wood is finite, in an economic sense, would be a laughable position - wood is almost always used as an

Hello. see my response to the other comment RE finite resources and can you please provide a source for the stat about internet anergy consumption? seems suspicious to me...

Thanks for engaging, it's beneficial for me to also think through this reasoning. I'm sure there are flaws in my understanding/example as well, but here is how I would respond: I think we are possibly using "finite"

Growth isn’t solely tied to use of finite resources. Services also count. Two people can exchange a service, say a massage, which extracts zero finite resources, and at the same time, creates economic output. edited typo

Eh, kind of. Builders in the northeast didn’t choose balloon framing because it’s thermally efficient - they just didn’t have alternatives in the same cost range. Many homes in that region were build with masonry claddings as well to increa

Nice comment. You hit the wood dowel on the head ;) regarding the chisel work being more intimate. I think it comes down to commodity vs craft - and if the goal is to simply produce a house or to produce a house where the process and crafts

As a builder, I really don't get the point of this piece arguing that stick framing is "worse". The author makes very weak arguments for the "worse" category to make a connection to tech engineering/ software d

This looks very cool, I will be signing up and testing it out! Quick question, how many hours per week would you say it took over the two years to reach this point? Full time or part time? Thanks.
