If they expect you to work in that one spot more than anywhere else, the Aeron might be the most important thing you get! Nothing worse than a cheap, (eventually) painful chair. :|

I think that article is wayy off and the title of this thread is teetering in the same direction. Nothing about that article explicitly says anything about women being "unwilling" to contribute to Wikipedia. I used to spend a lot of time e

I think some of my better ideas have come from just wanting to solve problems--either mine or those of friends, family, or co-workers. Those ideas always seem so much better than anything I just sit down and come up with based off what I t

If anybody's interested, a paywall-free link to the paper is at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1397699 . And FWIW, I'm not exactly a fan of the article's conclusion ("work within stereotypes") that I should be flirting

As a black person (and a woman, ha!), I can say there is a similar double whammy for us. In addition to the competence double whammy, there's the one about being too assertive (for women)--the infamous "angry black woman."

"Watch your mouth." and "Wait your turn." Perhaps, it's something girls are harassed about more than guys, but until I stopped following that "advice" (early college), things were quite mediocre for me.

Definitely don't do that (putting the money in your account and then transferring it to others). At one point, I was in the process of doing just this and once I talked to Braintree, for example, they let me know how horrible this can turn

Yup, first thing I thought of afterward was friction. But, alas, let me not continue reading too much into one of a few things in the middle of the day that actually keeps me from thinking. Gotta have a refuge at your desk somehow...(besi

Neat-o. Hopefully, he'll explain next why the sticks and stones don't seem to have heard of Isaac Newton at times! Some of the planks won't even slide and fall when they're in awkwardly precarious positions. But, then again, that's why

That's true, but it's nice to know who's out there. If you only read TechCrunch, you'd think MCHammer and Chamillionaire are the only black folks to ever touch a computer. Nothing against them, but yeah.

I don't think it's sending that message at all. And if the title of a few blog posts encourage you not to seek out a woman as a co-founder, should you really running anything anyway?

The last Mr. Co-founder I had was a sham for the very reasons mentioned here. All talk, very little output with a side of excuses at every sit-down. I was too young and naive at the time to realize what we had was less of a partnership an

I feel smarter and more knowledgeable. I've had access to the web in my house off and on since I was 11 (25 now) and even when things dragged along via dial-up, I always felt like I had all kinds of info at my fingertips. I'd go to class

If you read Steve Wozniak's book "iWoz", he talks about how Steve Jobs got him to do some hardware work (chip minimization) for Atari and lied about how much money Atari actually paid him. http://www.woz.org/letters/general/91.html

Definitely in agreement with this. I remember reading about Aaron Greenspan a longggg time ago as a teenager and being motivated by his success with Think Computer and trying to do better myself. He'd won accolades for being so young, yet

Writing code to any fast-paced song (instrumentals only, though) tends to up my mental energy toward coding. Take away my chair and let iTunes pick the proper song and plenty of stuff gets written. It's a mood modulator for me, if anythin

Seems like it depends on your audience in some instances. If you have users that don't easily remember one of these more obscure domain extensions, they'll type in .com and be surprised if they don't get you (even if you told them exactly

If you can hustle up a few beefy guys, start a moving service. A friend of mine started school in EE, but left school with the moving company supporting him full-time. He started it around his second year as well. Edit: We went to school i
