my dad is a captain, very experienced -- flies 777s, has > 20k hours and is trained in both airbus and boeings. over dinner i once asked him "so what's the most exciting or difficult situation you've even been in?" "hm... nothing i can

this is just a reflection of the fact that now we can use the internet to spread ideas and this audience are/were the earliest adopters. in 5-10 years (or even now, maybe?) people will be talking about what single blog post is the single mo

as far as personal finances go, there isn't one rule of thumb that works for most. how much you should keep in the bank is very sensitive to things like the job market for your skills, whether you can move back in with your parents (or if t

very cool. very nice looking, too. biggest question in my mind: how does it integrate with my iphone? i don't mean for consuming, i mean for creating sites. i primarily take photos on my phone and they usually just live there because i neve

that's a fair point, but also tangential. i think research shows that people are not motivated by money. people also don't eat money. but money is the best way to buy food -- and also the best way to buy people's time and skills. picking wh

this type of job-listing is ridiculous. not because it is juvenile or the sort of a thing that may be indicative of a bubble, but rather, because it is condescending. in the job market, there are two things i'd like to trade for my skills a

thanks for the kind words and feedback. on the roadmap are two features that will approximate "cloning": let users customize the question and the template of the daily emails, and categorization with #tags. you'll hear about it when we impl

i mostly agree with this. the way you learn how to code is the same way you learn anything else: by doing it. that is, you want to know so bad that you try to do it or someone forces you to do it. that's 80% of the battle. mentorship, tool

this seems to be a bit of a false dichotomy. your social capital is not useful only to raise money. it is useful to market your product. marketing your product gets it used which is the best way for it to improve. that you can use social c

these series of posts about how they do stuff is great, i love it. however, dreaming up the end result is a lot easier than figuring out what seeds to plant when you are a team of 1 or 2. after reading these i'm always left with the questio

the last paragraph of the article is an adequate response to this: "Is this workflow going to work for us when we’re 500 employees? Likely not. But core values and ideas last. Figure out what your core values are, and adapt and refine them

Math is probably the hardest thing you can study. You should do it if you can do so without hurting your grades. It will broaden your intellectual horizons. As a practical skill, however, math ain't all that much. Learning how to write and

Okay, so they made a very bad PR mistake in asking her to put a positive spin on her writing. That seems to be mostly bad for themselves and their investors. Not sure where the lack of human decency is in that. Also, there is no applicabl

Arguing against the supposed behaviors of a "current breed of silicon valley wunderkinds" seems, at best, like a straw man. Do Paul Carr or Sara Lacy really know founders and their companies that well? Pieces like this make my blood boil
