Co-signed. This is essentially what I did - I worked in startups a few years but realized I wanted more mentoring, so I went to a BigCorp and got it! If she finds a startup that could give her that, more power to her.

She, as a junior dev without a degree, would rather not throw away her crucial first few years of her career to a startup that won't even bother to think about helping cultivate her. You may think that's heinous, but I'm OK w

I did this. One day I just decided to make my Facebook account family only - removed hundreds of "friends". It worked great for me. I don't idly check it so often (because there are fewer updates), but I still get to see what

Terse communication style seems like an awfully low bar to establish "asshole" to me. (But then.. I have a terse style myself. But I'm glad we're discussing this.)

I mean, I see the point you're trying to make. But that error could be pretty damning in the context of a detailed survey about, like, operating systems and their utilities. In that case, wouldn't you expect to survey writer to kn

And now you find yourself vigilantly looking for 'people who are eager to cry racism', and now the rest of us have to tiptoe around that lest we set off your alarms and you go on some sort of defensive rampage. See how creating a

Maybe? Smaller companies might not have all the supporting infrastructure ready though. And even if a company claims to have those policies, it won't always be implemented the same way..

This sounds really cool to me just because of the novelty of having a campus at a megacorporate site. I would've loved to work at the Googleplex as a college student! I think it's really cool that kids these days can have that opp

Fair enough! There are many good ideas here and I'll even wager that a 'trip mode' of some sort could even produce benefits outside of the held-at-the-border use case. It really does seem silly at retrospect that these tech g
