Unfortunately, you're not going to get an exact answer here, because everybody's lifestyle is slightly different. However, you can guess what's going to be the big changes in your budget. I think there will be 4: 1) Your take

Look up "Rich or King". Companies tend to do better when the founders give away control to people better suited to do the job they would otherwise do. It just doesn't tend to be very public when it happens successfully.

According to LinkedIn, they have 7 people who work in support. At a company of ~200 people, that's not an unreasonable number to have. It feels mean to say they have none.

The only diet that works is the one you stick to. So figure out the combination of what drives you and what you can live with, and do that. For me, I fall apart when I'm hungry. So my diet is based around "efficient" foods (m

I think it's worth noting that the control plane and management plane are two very different things, and it'll be interesting to see how they break out. There's a bunch of sidecars in the control plane that are competing for

The harm is that $5 / month for 50GB is the wrong model. If this is valuable, they think 10GB is enough to test the fundamental premise and see people hit the edges of what they'd want to pay for. There might be a segment of the m

Lots of negativity in this thread. I've been there too; plenty of companies I've worked for have blown sunshine while it feels like we're headed straight for the cliffs. The fundamental problem, I think, is that there's

Oh, sorry, I just joined Turbine! They're fantastic :) The company where I transitioned was Tracelytics / AppNeta. AppNeta acquired Tracelytics and that was part of the forcing function for making the leap. They're a great co

I'm a marketer in tech. My latest gig is VP Marketing at Turbine Labs (turbinelabs.io, check us out!). I prefer to work on products that would have been interesting as a programmer. My qualifications at this point are just my resume, b

I suppose I could be more clear. I don't try to improve my family as a first-order activity. I will offer help if they ask, but not everybody wants every dinner or vacation to be a discussion of the shortcomings and how to mitigate the

I worked at a company that had this framing, and it works especially well around peer-to-peer relationships: - If a teammate is doing something wrong, give them feedback. I don't try to improve my family. - If a teammate is doing well,

No. If you follow the letter of the contract, most IP assignments claim everything their employees do, but practically, that's just because it's impossible to write a contract that says "everything you do for your job, nothin

If I understand correctly, the main problem here is that if a password manager at some point asks you for a password in an online environment, they're subject to coercion. This is especially dangerous if you're using auto-updating

My first car crush was in high school: the 2002 Subaru WRX. It would be fine to get some souped-up monster, and high-end BMWs are always fast, but when I first saw those silly little bug eyes and the trademark blue color? God did I want one

There's another force at work here: in the name of efficiency and standardization, companies worked to make human interactions less useful. There's a reason McDonald's is seen as a bottom-of-the-barrel job. There's nothi

It's the other side of the quasi-doublespeak that looks at raises and new divisions and side projects as "investments". They're going to spend $100M this year that they can't easily get back, so it's a fair way

The alternative is to stubbornly hang on to a technical CEO until the CEO barely knows what the company does. I have a hard time admiring CEOs who carry contempt for most of their employees.

It's a hard problem, especially for a product that has as much surface area as OpenShift. - It is a PaaS, which would compete with Docker, EC2, and Heroku. - It's development environment. Sublime? - It's a collaboration tool.

I think the problem isn't "Minnesota", it's "back to Minnesota". Back to the place where things were before they started the startup. Where they had other projects going on. Where they don't focus as singu

"The price of consolidating the companies is too high." I find this fascinating, as it really speaks to my experience in small companies. The thing you actually create -- code, docs, self-serve product, sales and marketing collate

There are so many articles like this, and all of them focus so much on prescriptive rules for commit messages. There's a similar set of articles on how to deal with branching and merging. Somehow, everybody comes to slightly different

There was a time when Lyft employees would call Uber cars, wait 2 minutes, then cancel the ride. This left riders driving around to pick up phantom rides, unable to make any money servicing legit customers. If you're questioning whethe

I guess my point was more that at some scale, it feels worthless to vote at all. If I disagree with Snap's CEO, my $500 of stock feels about like my vote in the presidential election. I doubt my input changes the course of anything. Th

For the same reason 50% of the US didn't vote in the last election. Or employees don't demand to view board decks. Most investors are buying as a way to make money off of continued success. They don't want to control the busi
