Doesn't this sound like a really good reason to work with a smaller private provider? Don't do sensitive work on free services...

I'd lead with a good business architect, honestly. Plus some scrappy masters-level street hackers who are willing to get their hands dirty. Act one at a new business is rarely rocket science. Lots of low hanging fruit.

Absolutely. I'm ADHD (granted, a lesser challenge) and society does the same thing to us. Take these drugs so you settle down and be a good little kid. Ya know what? I like who I am. Those traits make me direct, impulsive, creative, ef

The problem is the reader world is bifurcating. It is no longer viable to write "for the middle" of the audience. The two profitable price-quality points are: - Cheap content for the masses (lowest common denominator, ad supported

Hmm... actually, process and outright automation (the apotheosis of process) work brilliantly for certain types of work . Got something boring and repeatable? Process / Automate the daylights out of it. You'll be better off. Anyt

My reaction to this article - we've utterly failed when it comes to training effective mid-level software engineering leaders. It feel like we are substituting rule by committee for what should ultimately be a leadership decision. If y

I'm not surprised by this finding; too many smart people are working on the same problem. When it comes to investing in public markets as an outside player, I've seen three moves which can work.... 1) Identify a consumer product c
