The irony is that technology journalists always seem very defensive when it comes to not having industry experience, yet Levine is a perfect example of a journalist who is good at what he does because he was in the finance industry.

Sometimes I look at Adobe's stock history in awe and then realize the only thing that has really changed over the years is that they moved from a license model to a SaaS model...so instead of paying a few hundred dollars for a Photosho

I blame FB for setting this bad precedent. Now that they've set the standard for remote compensation every company now has cover to adjust compensation using some flawed cost of living calculator.

clearly you’re biased, but hard to imagine the actions of the Federal Reserve that has pumped liquidity into the economy and cut rates to 0 that many predict will last for 5+ years make an exchange that is focused on “long term” less intere
