If we'd treat alcohol medically equivalently with other similar substances, a suitable recommended dose would be about a teaspoon of wine per day (digging up reference). So no need to keep the workplace boozeless.

I thought about this more after my comment. Yes, this is very true. Finding employee #1 is different from finding a co-founder but not by much, especially if you want them to stick around and work well with you. And founding a company with

While I appreciate Carson's candidness in blogging how they do things, there's a couple of dangerous things in his recommendations. "I’d recommend waiting until you’re overwhelmed with your work." This is a bad idea. Do not. Hire when you c

LOL. The closed captioning in the beginning of that demo video reads like a haiku from an emo kid: "Tear out your day / all that information is rainy days / actually needed." Not sure if it makes me trust Google's efforts to bring me "just

Great, thanks, this is now addressed in an edit in the post. Also good point on making a separation based on skills.

Thanks! And you're right about the text editor. I should do that for myself too. I guess vim is one of those things that you keep running into, and unless you never figure it out, it will remain a mystery (and if you accidentally do get it,

I completely agree. Necessary, not sufficient. Covering the specifics, which are just the tools and a basic foundation, is empowering and motivating IMO. A big part of learning basics like this is just learning the vocabulary for describing

Thanks. This is partly why I made the point of there being good comments to that post - I can see there are plenty of differing opinions on this, and I'm can't say what is right. But, for a newbie to thinking about program structure (well,

Thanks. One specific example could be resource sharing. We use Github for code, but also for issue tracking (which brings with it discussion threads) so using Github properly even if not making code commits is valuable so you stay on top of

The "credit score system" where you lose points for making comments contrary to the official truth sounds like gamification of censorship. And as with all games, players will try to test, game and bend the rules to their advantage. They may

I think this is a special case of a big fish in a really small pond (Finland) trying to make it out into the ocean. Having said that, it underlines how adding more dumb money doesn't make you any smarter and that just makes for an ever bigg
