I met some people down in Colombia who were doing customer support for Fitbit and I know that they still have some presence there as of ~2 weeks ago.

Almost certainly HackTECH; it was held in a mall in Santa Monica right by the beach. I’m almost sure Evan came but it wasn’t to give a formal talk, but rather take a pretty low-key stroll-through. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. I di

I remember back in 2013(?) I went to a collegiate hackathon in Santa Monica. Evan Spiegel showed up to walk the floor and someone showed him how they had sniffed the API and did something interesting with it (forget the particulars now, get

I've recently been working on a greenfield project with Bootstrap and I've been really pleased with the development velocity by the core team. They're beginning to implement a icon library too, which will complement nicely wi

Glad I'm not the only one. Does it seem to cover all Google services? That's what I'm experiencing and seems like folks on Twitter are seeing the same: Are you in the southeast US as well?

Certainly, if I could access Google, which I can't. Seems like it's not just me though: https://twitter.com/search?q=google%20down&&f=live

In that post they mentioned they would be distributing face masks; this is the blog post announcing that initiative.

Sure thing. I'm interviewing for "senior software engineering" roles: full-stack, approximately 3-5 years out of school. To clarify, they specifically ask about the Instagram feed. Basic answer goes like this: v0: Webserver h

Abruzzo is amazingly beautiful. It is similar to California in that you can go to the beach and ski in the mountains on the same day. My great-grandfather immigrated to the US from Alanno, a small village on the other side of the mountains

Is it? You already laid off a large percentage of staff. Your product teams will have seen the data showing cratering revenue. Your top engineers are almost certainly already looking for new jobs anyways. You know you are going to have to m

Dara hinted in his first email that there were more layoffs on the way. I consider them to be a single layoff, one portion of which took more time to execute.

As I understand it, the first was for comms, operations, and support roles. This layoff was more product-related (so engineering, design, and product roles) and required more thought around how they were going to position themselves strateg

My apologies, I saw a tweet[0] discussing the timing of the layoffs but decided to submit the source article with more context linked in the tweet [0] https://twitter.com/amir/status/1262019344692723713?s=21

I just listened to a little kid play Fortnite while I did some work in the background. He was very excited to have some unexpected random viewers which made my day.

I'll vouch for these folks, top-notch team with the domain expertise to make this happen.

I'd recommend looking into Acemoglu's full body of work[0], the papers are quite readable and investigate some hypothesis that others had only spoke about in generalities, including the impacts of demographic shifts, automation, r

Incredibly prolific, especially given his how well-received his track record has been. Takes some serious guts to take a year off from Princeton to _self-fund a trip to Syria during the middle of a war_ to learn how to be a war corresponden

I ran against Jon Hardister in 2018 (and got licked by his money machine). I pitched similar arguments during my campaign and the response was tepid, at best. I’m also highly, highly skeptical that this is the correct approach for NC this c

I would caution everyone considering Migadu. My biggest issue revolves around support — they don’t have a public status page so when the service goes down it’s impossible to know if the issue is on my end or on theirs. They're averaged

I'm surprised you launched at Cal given your world-view of incentive alignment. I was there right when the department got slammed. Clearly, it wasn't an ideal situation but there was a ton of innovation in the department to meet d
