   Lots of interesting events in my area! I made a similar app that shows you nearby events from your facebook "likes". I'd be interested to see what you guys think of it https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app&#x2F

   I think sometimes strict deadlines are sometimes about coordinated efforts, as in the case of a Superbowl ad. If you're the company responsible for producing the ad, then submitting it a week after the game is unacceptable. I feel like

   I think this is when a manager is supposed to add resources. I don't accept the idea that it should be normal for everyone to have to work ridiculous hours until the crunch is over. It's the manager's job to make sure there i

   If you're not the leader, you're waiting quietly for the leader to take action, but more often than not, the leader is enthralled by the exhilarating debate taking place before them. A non-technical leader takes it as an opportuni

   I hold founders' motives suspect. Not the relationship (which actually seems to have worked out) that resulted.

    Funny thing is, this happened at a YC company.

    I'm not implying that the intern lacks merit. She was brilliant. The thing is, this was a company of 5 very busy people working round-the-clock in a startup house while going through YC. We didn't have the bandwidth to offer a pro

    I'm not okay with somebody expecting me to be their friend if they hire me. I'm here to make software, not lend emotional support. That said, we're all still just people, and if we're gonna be friends, we'll be frie

    I've been "Lead Dev" for 6 years, and had the responsibility of an actual manager without any of the budget/resourcing ability that's necessary to manage well. I've successfully launched lots of products and pl

    I've worked for startups as a full-stack dev for about 5 years, and spent the last year trying to land a position in as a technical manager. This specific pursuit has lead to some of the most bullshit encounters I've had with star

    Yeah, I was a fan when I'd first read the employee handbook, but then I thought about it and of course, it would just look like high school again. The cool kids set the course and nothing else is taken seriously.

    Valve has multiple products, and each project has a team, and each team has a leader. Individual teams have structure and autonomy. The success of their projects is measurable and attributable to the team and its leadership. The startups th

    I wouldn't call it a bubble because bubbles burst all at once. Tech does have value, and some tech companies are actually creating value and seem to be worth every penny of their valuation. I'm talking about the Übers and AirBnBs.

    You don't think I'm using "causality" correctly?

    Thanks for the feedback! It still has some rough edges, but I'm really glad to see how people respond to it. It's a combination of a few really new concepts on the web (social news, wiki) and the relatively obscure concept of &quo

    How about a crowdsourced social graph of causality? I made something that can answer users' questions before they even formulate them. If somebody were wondering what caused the Ebola outbreak, they could start here: http://

    I'm working on a social graph of causality, which is meant to solve the problem of having to ask specific questions to find answers. I call it Causemap ( http://causemap.org ). Here's something I added today about the mi

    It's a collection of real-life situations, like that whole #bendgate fiasco on the internet, Occupy Wall St. or the american-led military campaign against ISIS, linked to the situations that people think caused them. For example: there
