I am sorry but I am not a believer in a16z anything after their massive crypto token scams and wealth extraction. We all need to move away from all these companies who continue to bloat in private and then have a big pay day as a public com

I think the six months bootcamp hires certainly tilted the prestige part into tech being just another mass hiring industry. And mass hiring did happen during the pandemic on a large scale. Imo, tech is still a great place to be. But we all

It's by design. These companies can't pull this in any other EU country. Ireland was a relatively poor country 20 years ago. And is showered with money since then for its membership to the EU. Right question to ask is why did Germ

I am implying that there's evidence that more people like it and are willing to pay for it than people not finding it upto the mark. Yes, that's the definition of a successful software.

by negamax 3y ago
Saying that a software is god awful when it's commercially successful is not a good argument. Certainly tons of people and orgs out there are deriving value out of it. I still have to see anything that comes closer to Confluence for ar

Everything depends on where you are. There are no rules that fits all organisations and all individuals.

People don't hate Jira because it's written in Java. They don't know or comprehend that something like Jira or Confluence or Minecraft can be written in Java.

> And most devs hating on Java are using an IDE written mainly in Java (all the JetBrains ones): the irony of that one gives me the giggles. Don't forget Confluence and JIRA and all Atlassian products. Minecraft too. I facepalm when

Civil service is also government's secret graduate job creation program. Can't get hired by private sector beyond counter jobs, civil service welcomes you. It's a racket through and through

It's a problem with all government departments. They can't pay market rates for software engineers. But can hire contractors and third party vendors. Facepalm * 100. That's why body shops like Accenture et al makes a killing

Pension funds and many other xyz funds have these companies in their portfolio. Crypto markets with their scammy tokens are a good simulation of US stock market of today. Unprofitable companies posting 1 less cent loss as compared to foreca

Stock market. A lot of these companies are not only kept afloat but celebrated because of some future pie in the sky possibility. Everyone makes money in this game from brokers, engineers, managers, media. A perfect merry go round.

He also paid 4x the price. And took out his frustration and vindication on employees. Doesn't come across as someone with sound judgement or vision

Imo. Google and Facebook doing cuts meant that they let go of the recent hires or allocations in recent moon projects. Their core business is intact and is likely thriving. PD cutting is a signal that the company is getting affected by the

He mocked the Twitter staff he fired. Sorry but a CEO of Twitter a social network. Elon not having emotional intelligence is the most absurd joke. Only problem is that it is reality now.

100x this. Most companies with large layoffs had pie in the sky valuations due to pandemic money printing. They were never profitable. VCs with wads were searching for next 20x in three months

That's pretty much it. Government jobs are lower paid because money comes from taxing private sector. Career growth there is all about how big of a team in numbers someone has reporting to them.

Healthcare is expensive and have massive fines built in for good reasons. Government jobs are for life with little to no repercussions. Also they might not align people correctly with incentives. We need government run programs with private

Ireland is another example. Healthcare services have €20B a year budget for 5M population. It's rife with non performance, wrong diagnosis and being borderline ineffective. Element of running a welfare state is how far you take it or m

Based on a small sample set. Seems like hiring is picking up. Most tech companies are still at higher valuation then pre pandemic times. They were profitable and hiring. Bold statement: Tech will pick up first. And companies who are making

Good point. Also Cathy Wood suddenly buying more $COIN and $GBTC seems like similar forces at play. Many are caught off guard and seem to have lost big on paper

I am saying job market is not as robust as it was a year or two ago. Feds tightening has beginning to affect well run companies and workers. There's talk about recession. If it was 2021, anyone from Twitter could have walked into Faceb

You know Groupon is still alive. I think once these companies get listed they become vehicle for tax offsetting by booking losses. While early investors cashout massively and transfer forward risk to pension funds.
