Startup creation / funding is closely correlated with near-zero interest rates. When money is cheap, venture capital is more lucrative. This correlates closely with the early 2000s bubble, the 2008 crash that dropped interest rates and

Anecdotal evidence, but I hear similar complaints from friends, and I think that the "netflixy" feel is going to be the single biggest downfall for the company. Netflix requires all original content must be filmed with a true 4K U

What about standing desk with a treadmill or a home gym? Do you have a yard you can walk in, natural trails within walking distance or is it literally impossible to walk outside your front door? Not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely c

I have to assume the goal is to collect a vast amount of biometric data and then be bought out by someone who wants that data. Here's everything they're collecting: - Images of users’ body, face, and eyes, including users’ irises

I'm not at all dismissive of crypto. I actually think there's a ton of opportunity to build a decentralized version of the large cloud providers like AWS and GCP as their pricing continues to increase. For example, I'm intere

Hilarious that the "eyeball hash" is stored in a normal database, not the blockchain. And Worldcoin is already at a billion dollar valuation. I don't mean to turn this into a personal attack or flame-war, but I used to respec

Rowing. I used to think that I had really bad back issues from poor ergonomics, but in reality my back muscles were just almost nonexistent. I've been rowing almost daily for years now and never have back issues, and I use a cheap Amaz

Hey team, Congrats on building something great. I've dealt with teams in the past that got very strict with cloud costs, and I wish I had a tool like infracost when I was on those teams. In fact, I started building an MVP for a very si

At my current company we write a proposal for any new project/service (outlining 3 different paths for building a new service, or the option to "do nothing"). Then, once an async discussion happens on the google doc between t

I agree, the metagame is your career, and if you're playing the metagame you're incentivized to take projects that look good on your resume, leverage experience for the highest possible offer at the next job, etc. But "gamifi

No part of your job should be gamified, or employees start optimizing to win the game and compete with each other instead of collaborating to create a better product/company. However, bug bounties and crypto bounties are a great way to

Just set up a spreadsheet to track interviews. Take 5 min after every interview to write down their answers to your questions, next steps, etc. in the spreadsheet. Use it to track where you are in the interview pipeline for each company. Do

Honestly, you sound very burnt out. You went straight through 3 failed startups and then a masters program with the goal of getting into a FAANG? I have to imagine you were only grinding to get into a FAANG for the money, but you already so
