I think it should be pretty bad, tbh. a) Not part of yc. Never seen anything fail completely but I have seen projects get major delay over wanting to ensure quality. b) I'm currently leaning towards features = 100. quality = 0. This ch

Eh just get a job with an outsourcing company that sends people to client locations. They will send you overseas eventually. Then switch to a company located there before your residency permit runs out. You will no longer have a third world

Lies greater lies and statistics... Belgium counts people who die in nursing homes as covid 19 deaths. They say Belgiums figure would be twice as small if they counted the way others did. Removing that anomaly the only countries higher are

Yeah being nice is all well and good but the results more or less speak for themselves. I hope they at least got some echo economic benefit out of it. It surprised me to see a country where politicians don't make this call. More surpri

And so it begins, the downsizing of sillicon valley level salaries. Soon enough, they will be encouraging remote employees to move to inexpensive locations. Then they will start evaluating whether employees who come to office need to be the
