What are your thoughts on the amount of speculation in the software/tech market right now? Also real estate is very much a real industry that provides real value (like a roof over one's head)

I'm typically a very skeptical person but I have to admit I'm becoming somewhat bearish on the current cycle within our field. There are definitely some home runs out there but I always ask myself who are using all of these web services and

Ding-ding-ding! Correct answer. Now lets see where are we in the cycle... technology boom ... oh yeah, real estate must be up next

I think the rhetoric around MVP all boils down to market maturity... MVP: If you are in a brand new market with few competitors you should put out an MVP. You will likely beat your competitors to the punch on visibility and customers will

But what I want is not on a monthly basis. It looks like that site is 8.99 per month while what I want is a complete snapshot without getting enrolled in a monthly payment plan for monitoring. Basically just pay once for my current credit

Seems that they are only using TransUnion. The one thing I've never been able to find is a place where you can pay for a full credit report from all 3 agencies WITHOUT getting automatically enrolled in some monthly monitoring BS. Credit Ka

Sorry but I have to completely disagree that someday all we will need is just coders. Code is just a way of getting a computer to do something specific. So what should a computer do? Usually a computer should do something identified as v

I think the shortage of software development skills really has to do with the lack of there being enough people who get impassioned with this kind of stuff. When I step out of my bubble I realize that its really difficult to find cultural-

Good point but they are profitable as long as we let them be meaning that if people would stop putting up with mistreatment employers would be forced to change to turn a profit. (Note: my optimism about this occurring is pretty low)

Death marches in my experience are always reflective of companies that take on excessive 'debt' in the more general sense. This may take the form of accepting too much money from investors or making big future promises to customers or shar

Just don't look for 'best places to work' surveys. I find that it as if they just take a random sampling of big employers. In fact you'll find Zynga on many of the lists for their 'perks'. After running circles through many hot companies

First time I've ever heard of Khun so Im far from qualified but I think what the author is getting at is the copycat nature of the startup ecosystem. Especially lately, there seems to be a focus by many entrepreneurs and investors to repli

Looks fantastic although I have to admit these prezi types of presentations start to give me a headache after about 10 seconds from the motion. Also while the prezis look undeniably cool, I still use the standard slideshows in that I find

Murtza this is not a shot at you - congrats on your change of heart I applaud it. I do hope though that the small wave of ex-Wall St. moving towards startups as they have become trendy will stick things out when the music stops and not go

The products would have tags like they do today but would be NFC tags unique to the product. Fill up your basket - push it through the designated scanner and you've got a list of the items in the basket.

They really need to get the near field communications stuff in there - eventually you should be able just push your basket, yourself and your wallet/phone through a scanner and everything gets tallied and charged.

Good points... I think its a social problem that we in the US have been failing at especially during the last few decades. Right now we have this dynamic in society where the all the spoils go to the 'winners' even though everyone is cont

I would say cashiers will continue to exist for a long time but the number of cashier jobs will decrease dramatically especially as near field communication becomes cheaper and cheaper. The reason I say they will still exist in some form i

One thing I've realized about working remotely is that it is actually quite a big pay raise if you use it correctly. The type of work-related things that usually cost money/time can be much more easily eliminated like... - commuting costs

Sorry but in what world do you live in? Whatever world it is I'd like to join because I've never heard of engineers making 1.5 million in salary. I think if you look on Glassdoor you'll realize 200k is a very high salary for an engineer at

I wonder how they came up with any of the numbers frankly. They seem weirdly detailed for being algorithmic. Pretty entertaining though.

The link in the article to the most poachable players sure is an interesting one... never seen names and numbers called out so bluntly - their employers must thrilled. (Oh well I guess thats part of the game...) http://www.betabeat.com/20

"[convince them] your company is doing something important and impactful" I would also add "not be a clone of the hot new thing run by some naive fast-talking 'business person'". There are unfortunately a lot of these being funded and work

I'm curious what sort of success people are having getting hired after going through one of these. Without knowing much about them, these feel a little bit like the ITT tech of the startup world. Sometimes CS degrees rightfully get critic
