Even if they don't write code they can set unrealistic deadlines and actively not allow refactoring. I know it might sound glib but if thats the case then you're allowing yourself as a programmer to be set up to fail and be left

Considering management has a very large role in most messed up codebases I've seen, even if they fire 100% of the engineering team who coded it you probably are working with (for) the same people who messed up a codebase. It seems to

That is, even without it being a "default location", sending people to the GPS coordinates obtained from an IP mapping database is nonsense. Ignoring the default location issue. Imagine I'm a police officer and I don't

are you asking to have a static site pre-built from React? I'd assume when he says "first page" he means any first page but generally from there the rest becomes dynamic react. Depending on how you load your data it shoul

I'm not sure thats entirely true typically a late round of funding will be some combination of folks taking money off the table and new stock. There's nothing very "typical" about a 850M raise at 30B. But Groupon infamou

I'm entirely confused on how the Hulu thing plays. This could mean it is them selling ads on a service they are owners of using the data they gathered as an ISP and not only as a service, like the data Netflix would have. Somehow Hul

Interestingly not a huge exit its "just" 3x. (Edited from 6x I looked at investment not valuation originally) For all the news around Jet taking on Amazon I'm not sure this is signaling a win for them.

Do they have a massive user base? Did they do a fantastic job at enterprise sales? Do they have a lot of recurring revenue? Maybe Quip doesn't, but Salesforce certainly does. Note I don't fully understand the valuation either bu

Is it any surprise that Uber can't keep up with a well funded overseas competitor in their native market? I mean just trying to keep up with the changing US regulation landscape that can shift from city to city is hard enough. I'd

It's not suing an employee for talking to reporters. That doesn't make sense. Most company exits include an NDA clause which would prevent talking to reporters so the statement does make sense. Except you're totally right t

The way this works isn't that you do something against the TOS and then they try to sue you out of existence. The way it will work is that Twitter will notify you "Hey what you're doing is against our TOS". At which poin
