Really like this article. I'm hoping more people write about what's different about SV now, than in the past. I assume it has a lot to do with the 2008 wall street crash, and a lot of the people who'd normally have gone to w

I get asked, but once I say no, I haven't gotten prompted again. And if you accidentally click yes, it even has a section in the 'safety check' section that will have a list of sites sending you too many notifications. Also,

I'd have expected no less, since Chrome already protects the notification noise by default, too. You have to opt in to notifications. Sounds like a slightly different implementation for iOS, which is interesting in that they're a

Not claiming to be good. But I will say most my white friends don't actually engage with this conversations, nor do they even have friends of color, so....whatever. EDIT: BTW, I was only offering opinion to support what the OP was feel

I was talking to a black woman friend about DEI recently. As a white man, I can't really share any of our discussions. But we both agree'd the whole thing does more damage than benefit to an org, especially the people, etc. My f

As a hiring manager, I wouldn't even ask a question around departing an old company, whether they were laid-off or not. I'd have questions that were more along the line: "what will you miss from your old company, work day, et

Unless you're wallstreet trying to punish some poorly run companies and leadership by shorting them, and then having a reddit lynch mob coming after you.

I didn't know that. Ian obviously had more fun as a spy!

Le Carre is definitely more on the literary side, and was likely a big influence in the history of the genre. Also, he was an actual spy, I believe at one point in his career.

I'm skeptical, too, since a lot of things shot on film still went through a digital intermediate. I think this is more about overall production aesthetic/budget/execution, than a film v. digital.

My main comment was about Bonuses, btw. which, as I stated aren't guaranteed and are typically paid when companies are doing well. Options and even RSUs only have value if they go up above initial grant or strike price.

Sounds like you have a common mis-conception that a lot of people who entered the workforce after 2008 have: that bonuses are a given, and part of your salary. Lot's o' people this year won't be getting their bonuses because

Size of projects and lifetime of project. Team members swapping in and out, moving project/repo ownership to another team, ability to make simple changes to a code base without having full understanding, etc.

I did lead me down a James-Patterson worm-hole though, on how there's so many James Patterson books out there (mostly that he DOES NOT write at this point).

Yeup, I wasn't implying white-collar jobs, or anything. Just the volume of people required to pull something like this off.

I find it pretty amazing their company has 60 employees. Also worth the read to learn about Audible pricing. I didn't know. I'm pretty addicted to audio books, but now will have to seek out other alternatives when I can.

Tangentially related to this article, but if you're ever in Sweden, I recommend checking out the Vasa Museum [1]. It's a 1600's ship that was pulled off the sea floor. [1] https://www.vasamuseet.se/en

In this case, the net metric is the sensible one to use.

Like yourself, I don't do anything fancy. Just plain org files. However, I do use org-journal [1], though, so I can ctrl-c ctrl-j to add a new entry, and have it automatically wired up for rotating the file monthly. I use this for ad

It's even harder when you're a manager, and you inherit direct reports who both make more money than you, and have more stock options than you, AND have been at the firm for a shorter duration than you, and they have minimal exper

This was common on what a lot of people did when the dot-com era crashed to an end. Almost all my software engineering friends went to grad school, most for their MBAs and law degrees, a few stayed their course in software engineering and b

It's even more common to hire one of the big consulting firms to do most of this. Every layoff at large companies I've been involved with was done via a Bain, BCG, etc...

Netflix has ad-tier coming for $7/month. HBO Max costs like $16/month. I get ads for Hulu, but that costs only $.99/month on Black Friday deal. I'm paying $80/year for Disney, and I think Apple is still charging on

I think you're "assumed context" problem actually has another term called "Curse of Knowledge" [1] (which I believe it's much more known as). There's a ton of strategies that have been written about it.
