SFO -> LAX is a $79 roundtrip. In your mind, how does this compete on price?

Yikes. The worst I got was being sent to collections for a teeth whitening product that was designed to bill regardless of trial cancellation. I learned a ton about negotiating with customer service departments during this time too.

Ahhh the good old days. I'd have spreadsheets of when to cancel trial offers. Probably earned about $20-30k in electronics and cash overall during Freshman year in college.

I'm listening through this book right now on my daily commute and it's possibly the first time I've clung onto every word in an audiobook.

I've always considered it a red flag when a "startup" seems to have no other employees, no product, but somehow enough time to play company by giving four C-level titles away.

Hi! I paid $18k to attend Hack Reactor in 2015 because: 1. I got to write code in an environment alongside other equally motivated peers, because let's face it: An $18k commitment is more difficult to let go of than a few credits at a

Seconding this question. What's your use case for a framework migration?

I can't think of anything at this exact moment that does not contribute to UX. My response was regarding the assumption that the parent comment of mine equating UI with UX.

by rkho 9y ago
The comment you responded to specifically mentioned UX, not UI. Junk and scammers are definitely part of the UX.

> I wish that the product person who pushed this as an "innovative" idea lives a short, brutish, and painful life where he/she dies alone. Is this necessary?

I would contend that books don't give you the opportunity of practicing the intricacies of interacting with your peers.

Yes, let's jump to conclusions that are thinly veiled in passive-aggressive commentary.

I believe this benefit is a part of the card network (Visa Infinite), not the issuing bank (Chase)

Chase's immediate live human customer service gives it a nice edge against Amex. However, I dislike calling in when I can do things online in what should be a faster manner.

A bit more context, this was Amazon several weeks outside their return window (the defect started a month in) and they declined. I don't blame them at all.

Ah, very fair point. Apologies for the tunnel vision :)

I have both the Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. If I could only justify one annual fee, I'd keep the Platinum. The Centurion Lounges are second to none in the US and Amex's end-to-end ownership of its purchase/retu

The Centurion Lounge places Amex's lounge benefits on a whole other level.

How many jobs have you applied to in total? You mention applying to two jobs in NY, but does that number encapsulate every single company you've reached out to?

I've been reading through Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People recently. One of the principles that he strives to beat into you is the idea that you can't win an argument on sheer aggression. While you would ver

I also have a wide face. I used Warby Parker's home try-on and ended up finding a pair I liked that was 145mm in width. A lot of their "wide" frames didn't fit me either, and the one I chose was probably one of four or f

Echoing another sentiment in this thread. I was a huge fan of PH during launch and desperately wanted a way into the community to share and discuss things. Then I ended up building a React Native app that pulled their API, which was feature

Exactly this. I associate "company first, product second" with the kinds of organizations that seem to exist for the sole reason of playing company. The mentality that important decisions within a new company boil down to which fr

It's a pay-to-be-competitive game. Nobody is spending absurd amounts of cash for a deck and expecting to win a competitive event strictly because of it.

I actually haven't used RN with the intention of falling back into native code before. I was working on contributing an RN-built component as a CocoaPod dependency into an existing Obj-C code base but that project ended up not getting
