This isn’t really true though. Plenty of founders are early career and don’t have the experience or chops to pull that kind of salary. Many founders are not very impressive but what they have is confidence (however blind) in their ability t

This is a forever problem. It’s difficult to judge the competency or skill of a professional without also being a professional in the same space. Word of mouth is the usual solution. Another approach is to pick a few lawyers (read things th

I've seen the benefits of these drugs for people close to me but this whole concept still feels a bit dystopian. Companies selling $500-$1,000/mo drugs to counteract the garbage food and "food products" other companies a

With these drugs, is there any mechanism at work beyond "patients have a lower appetite and eat less food"? I've only read a few papers and articles but what I've seen is that all of the hormone triggering leads to 1) de

There was a user here who wanted to do AGI research. They left their job and went all-in studying then tried networking and applying to labs. After being unsuccessful in those applications, they went all-in building an algorithmic trading b

I haven't read Behave and childhood trauma can definitely have lasting impacts but I am also inspired by some of the older folks I have known with what seem like bottomless wells of joy. There's a cynical broken person out there f

Some of this might be your expectation of housing costs? A 220k mortgage, even at 7.5% interest, is still affordable on a 130k salary. This works out to < 25% of your after-tax income which is pretty average or maybe lower than average (

This is what I've seen as well. It's possible he really hadn't seen the 75 offers before SHTF.

This take and the quoted section don’t seem at odds. A great manager is a blocker and enabler for the “people creating the actual value”. The manager adds value, gets the most out of, helps the team, by protecting the builders’ time, mainta

It's worth having some sort of "be careful talking to strangers on the internet, don't share personal information, use a fun username, it's okay to ignore messages, here's how to block people, etc..." talk. Bey

Ah, I hadn't tried the Refine demo and was going totally off of past Retool experiences where creating or modifying an app can mean just picking a UI component and adding SQL. Refine does appear to require developer build-out and is mo

Cranking out an admin dashboard in react then also means supporting an admin dashboard. The dev is now on the hook for user issues, additional feature requests, hey can you just add this other field, etc… The dev is interrupted and distract

The additional capacity might be wanted in cold climates. The massive range drop when running the cabin heater plus slow charging in cold environments definitely makes me pause when considering an EV.

Devil’s advocate–some of the examples in this thread are of people doing drugs to the point of triggering negative externalities. Is there a point at which drug use should be considered antisocial and unacceptable?

It really doesn't take long to try out a free tier of a product and it's a great way to get a feel for what the company is building, how far along they are, how much you like or dislike the direction they've taken. I even lik

This is a problem across many job functions. It's always faster for "just the pros" to bang out a project or deliverable but it's usually in the company's interest to also be training more pros . Every more junior
