Recently quit working at C1 as well, and share the author's sentiments exactly. Whenever I brought up whether the work we were doing might actually be harmful (even as a general question), coworkers would reflexively quip about what th

I get paid for it, and also get to work more closely with potential future teammates to better test the relationship. Having had interviews at companies where it was NOT as advertised during the interview phase, I'd value that. If I

I work for a startup in DC, we have 6 random holidays in august because people weren't taking enough vacation -- I guess that's an anti-pattern with unlimited PTO ;). There are good eggs in the US. People overwhelmingly write to c

I've always wondered what executive coaching lessons are like. Could someone who has taken advantage of them chime in on what you were hoping to get out of it, how you made it happen through those sessions, what the structure of sessio

I commute to work on the train (~ 40 minutes each way) and spend a lot of time reading after work or on the weekends. I don't think I speed read, but not sure what the threshold is for that.

I try not to read as many books as possible but instead limit it to 2-3 per week. I could probably do one a day if I Really wanted to, but I find spacing it out helps me spend time in between reflecting on the book I just read, what it me

Thanks for sharing... will listen. As an aside, why do they spam that orange/purple gradient in virtually every part of the site... I've noticed color gradients on the rise again but this seems a bit excessive/unnecessary? Is

I was confused about why the article abruptly ended with a blurb on "We need AI", and then noticed the author's company works at an AI cybersec company. In that case, I wish this piece offered more substance about how that AI

Think about what different user groups there are, whether you'll be making 1 dashboard for all or different dashboards for each. Then delve into what kind of questions they want answered (maybe also figure out priority?), and then use

The problem I see is people seem to be cherry-picking the blogs/websites that tell them what they want to hear, rather than actually search for the Truth. So even if you make a source that presents news in an unbiased way, it might nev

This might be a dumb question, but how did they know that marketing expenses drove more orders (rather than just eating into their margins)?

(FYI -- article is from 2014 -- I was wondering why this was being studied again, when it seemed well established, both anecdotally and in literature). Anytime I took notes by typing, I'd forget it seconds after finishing. But writing

Yes... recently met someone who took out a $150K loan on a wedding. Blew my mind that anyone would think that was a good idea (mind you, the partner who did that didn't tell the other partner it was a loan, so the latter assumed it was

Fantastic article. Thank you for sharing. I'd come across some of her writings many years ago, but this motivated me to take a more in depth look. Just as I was looking for something new to read.

The study suggests that platelet 4, which is elevated when running, influences neurogenesis. Do we know if platelet 4 is only increased during running? What about weight lifting for example?

Competition is the fun part! Once you see existing products/services, you can use them as a proxy to validate some aspects of your idea, but also study from them to see what they're lacking: - Perhaps the service isn't able t

Not the OP, but I'd love to chat more about your experiences in this space. I don't see an email in your profile; feel free to drop me a note using the one in my email.

Is that even a realistic way to combat this? If people have a tendency to gravitate towards bits of information (true or false) that confirm their biases/make them feel good about their beliefs, then I don't see how "real new
