You're not the only one to accidentally give off that vibe. I remember reading this [0] article about "DevOps 2.0" and my jaw dropping. In about 2 sentences, the author manages to alienate pretty much anyone who would want to

You are arguing against Last Place Aversion [0] and even if your argument makes sense, I think it simply will not succeed. If you imagine everyone in the world has a "quality of life" score and this is distributed normally, then o

I can't comment on the technical implementation, but just from visiting your website I think you are doing yourself a disservice by having the up-front, immediate form of communication be a negative comment about traditional SQL. Tradi

I don't see how AirBnB would ever be classified as Lifestyle Business. The intent was never to make a small amount of money at a fixed scale. It was always about huge scale, which is almost always at odds with a Lifestyle Business. Net

I am all for this. Open plan offices need to be dead.

I live in the Midwest and would be happy to continue living here. Pittsburgh would in many ways be ideal. But if start-ups flock to Pittsburgh and start engaging in cargo-cult replication of the idiotic open-plan madness of SV, poor wages r

Which part of Switzerland? -- I might actually be relocating to Switzerland for a job. If I do, I would be relocating to the St. Gallen area. Do you know if this is a reasonable area for a dopey American with extremely limited German abilit

I don't mind looking for women who are different from me. Some of my previous girlfriends were very different from me and we got along very well. I wrote my reply based on the claim that I should join some social groups or something to

It's quite weird to me that the unusual adjective 'climbing' had no impact on the way you pictured it. Of course your description is more likely the real outcome, but it's a very unlikely immediate picture to have when t

I took a swing dancing class once on the advice of friends who said I needed to join some social group for the purposes of meeting women. Most of the participants were men doing the exact same thing. Most of the remaining participants were

I agree that friend networks can be a good pre-filter. Unfortunately for me, I live pretty far away from my closest friends, and I may be moving even farther away, so it has been hard. Once I am settled, I will have to invest in finding mor

This has been a problem in all four jobs I've had, and almost all jobs for which I've ever interviewed (which has been a lot lately).

For most people, it's far more difficult to successfully fake substance in the real world than on Tinder.

I can't really comment. I hate traditional parties and bars and just don't go to them. Small parties with friends who are verifiably not loud and obnoxious are good, and so are dinner parties. Basically most generic group interact

I am a 30-year-old man, healthy, moderately attractive, athletic, intelligent, and this frightens the shit out of me. I am very relationship-minded, but after having a couple of very long-term relationships that began online, I am seeking s

Most start-ups are deemed by the market to be not useful. I'm not sure it's informative to draw lessons of the value of emphasizing quality ahead of short-term, less substantive "results" from the population of start-ups

Then you'll just be labeled as "not passionate enough." BTW, even if you worked all weekend, you're still expected to stick around at work late on Thursday for some whiskey tasting or some other bullshit, because if not,

Performance and quality are rarely at odds with legitimate business interests or needs. In fact, if you sleight performance or quality it is exactly equal to sleighting future business needs or interests. The trouble is when illegitimate

There is actually a healthy body of professional research literature on this, such as Self-Determination Theory. You don't need to rely too much on the popular presentation in books like ZATAOMM. Here's a post touching on this top

I think there already are examples of the right sorts of things to do. For example, in Switzerland, it is a law that all employees (barring rare special exceptions) are legally entitled to 4 weeks of vacation, at least 2 weeks of which ar

That's a very fair point. There are many times when burnout is perhaps not a philosophical problem, and there can be pragmatic, constructive steps to take in the short term. The larger-scale structural problems (particularly the vexing

The barriers to entry in these kinds of status/credential fields are extremely high. Starting a new asset management firm is extremely difficult, and no customer is even going to talk to you until you have a five year track record of p

I think this is pretty naive. Customers (generally large institutional investors) don't choose active managers because those managers provide superior returns. They choose them for the same reason that people choose big consulting firm

Why do you assume there's a comparison? You could view both cohorts as infantile if you wish. The actions of past cohorts don't make the actions of the current cohort any less infantile.

Many people have used Amazon within the past year, and therefore it would be unlikely for them to have not heard of Echo. It's very much a household name, yet doesn't seem to justify being so. That is puzzling. Including the infor

Well, as a cohort, this group (to which I belong) seems extremely willing to let employers infantilize them and happy to be seen that way. - They agree to work in open-plan surveillance offices with maybe 2 lateral feet of personal space an
