I had a bit of a problem with OTS reviews b/c not everyone is as professional when it's not in an open forum. We used GitLab merge requests with much better results. It's kinda hard to describe in words - but programming is a

Finally someone talking some sense. The whole Elon cult of personality really clouds the discussion. (though don't get me wrong - I think he's a really cool guy) The Leaf has been around for a lot longer than Tesla and isn't

For a generic/flexible developer position I'd purposefully avoid hiring people from "brand" school. You'll definitely need to be over paying, and they will likely be poached. I unless you need like a PhD who is the

Have you seen all the companies that have insane valuations? None are based on really novel ideas. If you have some truly novel technology you DEFINITELY shouldn't go to YC. They're not in the "technology transfer"-y bus

But... the whole point of compensating with stock is that they don't have the funding to pay more.... You can say "well they shouldn't hire people they cant afford" but that's not very realistic. When you start a co

Can anyone point me to good resources to understanding the technical side of Bitcoin? I tried to read the white paper but it glossed over technical details (for instance, what does "signing" actually entail?). Everything else is e
