Wait - how and what did you get hired for? Did you ask any questions about product and revenue? It seems to me that you went in blindly and now you’re trying to cleanse your conscience. You think the investor didn’t do due diligence? I doub

ACH is a legacy system that can be easily abused for sure - what's saving it is the fact that it's not real-time like it's newer counsin RTP. It also helps that withdrawing money via ACH requires an account and payment proces

My observation is fairly limited, not sure how the rest of the country fair, but in Louisiana I literely see people texting or swipping on the phone while driving everyday! I know we do have laws in the books but they're not enforced a

Mastery is often encouraged - even with tropes like “Jack of trades master of none” used to deliver insults to some of us - but saying used in full phrase is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master o

I remember how expensive computers were back in late 90s and early 00s - I think that was primarily the source of the warning especially if one could afford a laptop. In college I worked in computer lab and drinks without lids were banned a

Depends on what you mean by info - founders (me included) sometimes mistake dreams and wishes for sure facts. This can backfire spectacularly if the hype doesn’t pan out. So like everyone else I say you should most definitely over-share bu

Should twitter censor such tweets? I don’t think so unless it violates their terms - but if the target disputes it then they should label it as disputed - with link to dispute report if it passes basic checks. That said I know this can be a

It might be tempting to go with all shared accounts (our money approach) but it can be a major source of conflicts due personal preferences etc. I don’t remember where I saw this advice - but it was to the effect of; instead of splitting bi

It’s like asking which is the best mask to mask smoke at a cigar lounge / bar! Perhaps it’s possible - I’ll let sound experts chime-in, but I think opt-in is a better approach! The loud 80s club style music is outdated and made sense b

I absolutely agree - infrastructure and quality of life is an issue when it comes to small towns. Things like Starlink is giving me hope. It’s not for everyone for sure - I’m more introverted than most. So I need to be close to airport for

As others have mentioned the solution is to build more affordable housing… but where?! More unaffordable houses won’t solve the issue. I think decentralization of work (WFH) will counter it in the long term. If you can work from anywhere th

I wish you had a blog detailing your journey! Perhaps I missed it - but would love to learn more about what got you into the project and how you kept going!

Knowledge / education can be a curse! I cannot tell you the number of people I’ve met who are insanely smart but lack the ability to just do it when it comes to starting a business. They overthink by planning everything when in reality

It’s a shame because in the bygone ages you could have been knighted as Touch Wood or Safety champion - flatulence games for those wondering. ;)

Why not redirect him by asking pointed questions that moves the needle forward - that usually shuts up loopy people if they don’t have great answers.

I was just graduating from college in 2001 and I needed H1B sponsorship! It was scary times - but "luckily" I got hired making $14/hr as a developer. Even though I was underpaid, I was thankful for it. My advice is to have em

Sounds like you’re a brilliant asshole. Some developers can sometimes lack the social skills to work cohesively with a team especially if they regard everyone as beneath them when it comes to IQ (stupid). It’s a good thing you recognize fri

Depends on the service or product you’re providing. Writers / content producers for example can make some income via subscription (donation) / patron. But the model breaks down when it’s a product that might require support. Had t

This is digital version of hoarding! I struggle with it too - I think a better tagging system would solve it for me but I’ve accepted I’ll never read all the books in my wishlist or even some I bought years ago and yet to read them.

It’s the same thing as not marrying someone you just met / don’t know well. Co-founding a startup is in essence like getting married. In fact you’ll spend more time with your co-founder than your spouse / partner plus plenty disag

Not to discount women also scamming… I was thinking it’s probably a dude making a living blackmailing people online.

If it’s a coworker then you have legitimate reasons to worry - and blackmail might be your saving grace. Keep all communications!

Unless she’s an underage why would you be fired for exchanging pictures with another consenting adult? Perhaps there’s more to it than you’re sharing. Can she post them publicly to shame you? Perhaps… but I think you’re overreacting. Paying

This was my exact reaction!!! Why do dev need dedicated VMs? I can see a QA environment but devs should most definitely be using local dev environment… vagrant etc.

In B2C targets have a lot free time and less money. So you want to get a lot of engagement & eyeballs to sell for money via ads etc. Whereas in B2B the target have money and pain points and less time… which is one step to monetize vs tw
