What are your credentials? What hard-earned experience in this area do you have to offer others? This is not intended as snark, but there's certain irony in asking others for help with a business model when that is precisely the kind o

I did something very similar - left my job a bunch of years back to create a social network for angel investors. I wrote up some lessons from my failure here: https://github.com/rshekhtm/VentureTap , with this paragraph

These are pretty fascinating observations. Are there any books/articles on the concept of "reality = dirty hack"?

You and every other recruiter are looking for experienced female engineers. There are no magical shortcuts here, very few companies have figured out how to do so consistently. It's extra hard if you have no women onboard already. Here

Seconded. I know parts of it have come under criticism, but the way the author attempted to weave a narrative based on so many sciences and studies just blew my mind.

Does it have to IT-related? I find audiobooks, both fiction and non-fiction, to be a great way to pass time during commute. The Great Courses offer a bunch of interesting lectures, for instance.

Stop trolling. You have ignored the arguments provided in this thread and have produced zero arguments of your own. This could have been an interesting discussion, but instead the thread has been rightfully flagged.

There is no such duty to hire non-foreign-nationals. I do however have duty to my company to make the best hiring decisions, so I'm not going to pass on a perfectly qualified candidate with an H1B and cross my fingers that I'll fi

I'm curious, what do you plan to do with this list? The ones listed in this thread are valuable, sure, but the opportunities for imparting these lessons come up with daily interactions. I personally wouldn't stress out about tryin

I have the Edge and frankly i hate this gimmick precisely for that reason. Never used cases on my previous phones, but will be looking for one this time. Love the extra large battery though, so it's not all bad.

I commented about Failure Fridays at PagerDuty in the older thread (not Chaos Monkey precisely, but similar concept). We still do that, with a few modifications: 1) ChatOps is used to execute the commands from Slack in order to preserve his

Don't believe that FizzBuzz trope - there certainly are candidates that can't code their way out of a wet paper bag, but they are hardly the majority. I'll also point out that 90% of companies could care less about time/

I've made a similar move and have no regrets. Lost the title, but gained valuable experience. Over time, I have noticed that I care less about titles and more about the work I do. No doubt that helping a startup go through a period of

I asked a similar question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12233155 . As a hiring manager, my short answer is - yes. If there's a bunch of short stints, I won't consider a resume no matter how relevant t

To add a slightly different perspective, my wife and I watched Buffy for the first time this year and we absolutely loved it. I actually felt that it held up surprisingly well. Angel on the other hand... I forced myself through 2.5 seasons
