When I was a PM for Xbox, I had the opportunity to sit down and have lunch with both Don Mattrick and his predecessor, Robbie Bach. Both were incredible tech leaders with a long history in gaming and a clear passion for the industry. Moreov

After first reading this, I pictured a typical Google software engineer, perhaps a Stanford grad who had been on the Google+ team for 3 years. A bit of digging tells me this is not the case. Ben Swartz appears to be a Product Quality Associ

Not at all. I'm struggling to make a software business work. And I used to work for Microsoft. The difference is that I don't hate Microsoft, I want to be the next Microsoft (to some degree). And eventually, if the opportunity c

The poor and elderly have some finite amount of money that they have allocated to spend on public transportation, right? Perhaps it's a bit ideal, but Uber has already successfully penetrated a new customer stratification with Uber Cab

This infuriates me beyond belief. How is Uber not in everybody's best interests? The end-user experience is clearly far superior, I can't find a soul who can argue with that (except for the understandable price differential whic

This is such bullshit. Snowden still committed a crime, he leaked confidential information belonging to the United States government. An action he knew was illegal. And this is the _sole_ reason why we revere him and the sacrifice he made.

If your song stream convinced nobody to buy your song on iTunes or buy a ticket to your concerts, then you have bigger problems than Pandora.

It used to be pretty natural for me to use this in product announcements (along with other catchy words: 'innovative', 'game-changing', 'amazing', etc...). "Why not, I think it's beautiful, so will ev

If I'm paying my dev $100k/year, I'd rather spend that $48/hour doing something else.

They do still have those screens! I spoke with one of the engineers that worked with them, and he said basically anything triggered by SafeSearch is excluded.

I agree. I do think, however, that a 10am-8pm work day (or later) is not at all uncommon in Silicon Valley

I spent two summers interning as a Program Manager at Microsoft (Xbox and Office), and his statements are nearly 100% accurate: - Literally any piece of documentation was always 1+ years out of date. Setting up a dev environment could take

Google has 35k engineers, out of which maybe 2-3k work on Maps. The 10k number probably refers to total number of workers (mostly contractors) that contribute to Maps: Street View, testing, imagery, notation, etc.

This is so cool. Somebody should turn this into a platform - a mobile app that at least helps you record the stats you want, paired with an API platform that lets you grant and request permission for other "personal APIs". Then other API ca

I went to TechStars For A Day in Boulder, and somebody was making this exact iPhone app. I can't tell you what it was named, but you would basically scan any product, and it would analyze how the product's manufacturer aligned with your vie
