Front end development is particularly prone to the hype cycle. Other parts of the stack are a little more stable in their tooling. I personally believe this is because the front end ecosystem is comprised of more self taught and boot camp p

This seems rather vanilla. They’re just smoothing out their revenue to make the curve look a little better. This is a result of the fact that companies can’t have down quarters without massive stock implications.

You’re not deploying an iOS app daily. At best it’s weekly. It’s really context dependent. Weekly is still an exceedingly short clip.

In that case I’ve never failed. This is not a value judgement around my work or what I deliver. Only that I’ve never had a thing with which I couldn’t figure it out and deliver it (eventually)

Well it’s not like you don’t keep it in mind. Your project has some baseline performance need and you should be building with the common practices and paradigms you used to build the other parts. The point is, don’t try to guess which part

You would do a monthly or quarterly bill such that the billed amount is substantial enough for the end user. And on your part you’re already doing net 60 with all the providers anyways.

Unions are not the salve for this. The great resignation is in effect an existential crisis for the working person. People are questioning their life values and gut checking their work prospects against it and making a change when necessary

Yea man I’ve thought about this too. For it to work you almost need to make it a marketplace to entice people to come forward with their problems. Kind of like “I’ve got this problem can someone help me?” And then you have a whole bunch of

I think he’s trying to say that you shouldn’t let outside validation or invalidation affect your decision to build a startup. You as the founder should know (via research, interviews, insights and industry knowledge) whether your startup i

Can happen in flux. But also the higher up may not have the expertise to manage the person from a day to day. It probably matters more for mid level employees where there is still hand holding but also some depth of expertise.

The number of reasons people want to move around the worl are almost innumerable. Just because you don’t value it doesn’t mean others can’t.

You nailed it at the end. It’s traditional media and social media that vilifies these industries and companies. Which if we know anything is not a common opinion held among most people… it’s just the loudest and most polarizing. Everyone ha

Lot of people dunking on Neumann here. But the space is very interesting and certainly there is a market need. No one seems to understand that Neumann built a massively successful company, because they watch the documentaries and think he’s

The only way to figure this out is to go to your clients and give them a price and see how they react. You want to get to the point where they are angry about the price but are still paying. This is going to be a lot of trial and error and

Agreed. This is awful advice. You need to be pricing based on value not cost. OP has it right. It’s just the question of how do you peg that value properly.

It’s certainly true that you should launch something as soon as is reasonably possible. This is so you can get into a customer feedback loop and start iterating on the product to improve it and build a better product with actionable informa

Pragmatism and understanding your purpose is to drive value for the business. When an engineer understands their job is to deliver value to the business as oppose to fussing over the pedantry of a specific style or framework or “perfect sol

The difference? I can use those minutes doing something instead of paying attention to traffic and driving. I can read a book or get a head start on work or bum around on social media. If I bike to work it doubles as my exercise for the day

I tried to buy a MBP in Feb. it got pushed all the way back to June before I cancelled my order. They had serious supply chain issues for a while.

There’s this one called a binary search tree. I’ve only heard about it a handful of times- during engineering interviews, but is otherwise reserved for the most esoteric of problem/spaces.

Yea I’m pretty much the same way. I love building, but the advent of product management and the commoditization of software work through “agile processes” has pushed me out. I’m not a drone, but that’s all a company views my skill set as. M

I kind of don’t understand all the crazy concern around kids and tech. Was like every current parent negatively impacted by their computer and internet use when they were younger? Is this simply a concern around social media usage which has

Cold out reach on LinkedIn to the people at these companies that might be buyers. Tell them your an entrepreneur doing user research and you think they might have valuable insight into a problem space your interested in. People love talking

Yea I think you lack perspective. Belief is a deeply personal thing. It bring a meaning and understanding to peoples lives. Many people are religious or have a belief in god that do not allow their faith to intercede in poor ways like funda

Everything listed here is patently obvious. Was hoping they were going to dig past the surface level obvious character deficiencies and talk about more subtle and nuanced traits certain good and bad managers had. Instead it was essentially-
