I don’t think F500 execs spend as much time looking at monitors and slides as you may think. Also people travel to see them, so face to face is unlikely to be a benefit to them. Also, it’s a huge expensive gadget in a time of austerity. If

I don’t really follow classical music but frankly I find a lot of buskers really really good. IMO the difference between mega star and random busker is a hell of a lot of luck (and dedication). On pure talent alone, the random lady outside

I don’t understand two things: - don’t waste time on random slack chats and emails - get inspired with random coffee chats and office drop ins. Lmao

You will never have consensus on this. “Mainstream Science” May agree on something but then politicians won’t. The wide public won’t. Humanity until recently didn’t think certain people (based on gender, race and ethnicity) were human. Ther

Yeah the statement is definitely false. But I think there is a private vs public company nuance. Matt Levine of Bloomberg looks at this in an interesting way for public cos. - "everything is securities fraud", where "everyth

Sounds awesome and exactly the solution I as an enterprise buyer want, in order to use this to improve my product or ops. However, I feel this will be an ultimately shallow attempt at solving the problem. This tech is quite new, I don’t thi

Not an employer but: - Older execs are too stuck in their ways - Busy execs __need__ a work family to rationalise their commitment - Hard to make a culture when remote - Hiring is one of the hardest task in most companies and it’s made hard

A request can have 500 tweets in it. Makes it slightly better but still overpriced

Yeah totally agree. It’s basically Moneyball but for CS.

How self congratulatory. So many people, most people hope and assume they are this way. We all think we are super progressive and smart and just want “growth”. It’s a bit redundant to spell it out. So what? Big clap. You have a growth minds

Buy and download Elder Scrolls online. Drop me your user name and you can join my clan (depending on where you play it). You’ll have friends that will fast become family :) it is a challenging but achievable game with a lot of depth.

Are you mortgage free or is your assumption that cash / partner income will buffer that for the short term.

Pretty strong words here. Do you have any data to back this up or is it just opinion. I’ve from the EU and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this actually happen. And even then it’s usually in banking but I presume a HN post is about te

Last in first out is very situational. Note I just moved company for similar situations and so I am obviously bias. Anyway my thinking was: - is this a hyper growth company that has 2-5x its headcount in the pandemic? - is this a unionised

This is entirely fair. Neglecting infrastructure investment is a business choice.
