Sounds like you are going to get screwed if you go with the dev group. Especially since you will be talking to investors to which they will be introducing you. Keep pounding the streets to find your technical co-founder. Go to meetups and

If you want to get better, build more things. And don't use the terms "code ninja" or "rockstar" to describe engineers. Those terms are self aggrandizing crap that inadequate engineers use to stroke their own egos. At best using those ter

It sounds like you have confused "tough" with "asshole". Common mistake.

The topic is about companies doing OSS. These are the types of companies I see deriving value from OSS. Feel free to contribute more.

by moonpolysoft 16y ago
There are two kinds of companies for whom OSS makes sense. The first category of OSS company is the data driven companies. Twitter, Google, Yahoo, and Facebook all fall into this category. Data driven companies derive their primary busin

Responding to the grandparent's edit. I disagree with your premise that a vesting cliff exists as a "getting to know you" period. It is a guarantee of a minimum investment of time for a given amount of equity. The person put in the requir

Your employment agreements set up the economic incentives for working at your company. If the agreement is 1 year cliff to vest and the employee took advantage of that why would you get mad? You got a years worth of work out of that perso

I was part of the Powerset acquisition which was largely for tech/talent. The transition has been a long slow death march to try and reach our bonus payouts.

That's terribly misleading, though. Facebook has huge clusters for performing offline business analytics. Therefore comparing them to Reddit, which presumably has a much smaller offline analytics backend, is not an apples to apples compar

Last I heard one of the original HBase guys quit programming altogether and went into plumbing.

Sure, I agree with all that. What I meant by my statement was that I could not understand how a significant proportion of an otherwise entrepreneurial and libertarian leaning audience could be arguing that default is a moral lapse.

Do you feel that bankruptcy is an unethical process? Perhaps we should bring back debtors prison? After all, miscreants like me put ourselves in this position. Should we not pay for our mistakes through indentured servitude if need be?

Crime isn't breach of contract. It's breaking the law. The law isn't a contract, it's a codified set of rules put forth by a legislative body. Contracts are subordinate to the law in America.

I'm currently in the process of walking away from a home out of state. I moved from Delaware to California close to 3 years ago due to a really good job opportunity. I couldn't take the hit in selling our house at the time since it was un

The store owner did not consent to the robbery, by definition. The bank consented to the contract and agreed that the home would be sufficient collateral for the loan.

I remember the Yahoo guys saying they would open source PNUTS/sherpa at the very first NoSQL meetup. It's a shame that it's been so long and they have not followed through on that.
