Think of it like the SEO you would set up with a Wordpress site. Think about what skills you want to advertise and update your job descriptions and summary to reflect that. You should make it a point to update your LinkedIn every 6 months

Well mostly free of consequences. The exec team has basically been replaced and SoundCloud may still die as the result of these actions. As for why people stay with the company, there are a couple reasons. For many people, especially non-

Frankly cloud providers have become the default way to run startups and small to medium-sized companies but frankly they're significantly expensive. You do get about a year of runway, which may make sense if you're able to close

I actually had a coworker in the US that bought a boat and lives on it. I get the feeling that his social life is mostly unchanged. Most of us thought it was foolhardy and a little weird, but that was fine. We saw him go through quite a l

That's not actually true within the US. Each song sample needs to be licensed individually. This becomes more complex when a song you want to remix contains samples of other songs. In general, this has become prohibitively expensive,

A couple thoughts on this. 1) Most projects aren't expecting to be around in 20 years much less 10 and are built accordingly. 5 year old codebases are old and typically are replaced. 2) The ease of change is both the biggest strength
