I agree with you. It's not that Germans don't drink a lot - but it's just not as much in a single session and generally not for the purpose of getting drunk. Most people don't understand the concept of standard drink siz

Except my $3500 XPS 9500 (64GB RAM 2TB, 8 core CPU, Nvidia 1650Ti, 4K Touch Display) that thermal throttles so much that a 3 years older MBP gives much much better performance and I continued using that machine for work. Fortunately by swi

Very accurate. Trying to explain to people this is cultural and not my individual personality is a tough sell though. It's a bit tiring having to praise things you don't believe in to provide honest feedback. In German culture the

I don't disagree with you, it's just that I find your comment to downplay the significant baseline cultural difference of which you may or may not be aware (I don't know what culture you grew up with). This is something to wh

It's not just a VC thing. There is a greater delta if you didn't grow up in this particular US culture. As a German (15+ years in the US) formerly in SF now in Seattle I see big discrepancies in what I perceive as genuine feedback

Businesses shifting to partially or fully remote (the key metric surveyed in this article) isn't necessarily an exodus from SF. It just means a decline in the need for office space in SF. Additionally, other sources indicate that most

What if I told you that as an ordinary engineer I am perfectly OK with paying state income taxes and capital gains taxes here in Seattle? Why? For the benefit of all. I am not wealthy by any means given local expenses but I live comfortably

The actual email sending / receiving part is handled by Amazon SES here. Similarly you could use Sendgrid in that place. This project is a wrapper around those. It also doesn't aim to provide an email inbox - this is for programma

The first 250k in profits from capital gains are exempt. It is estimated that this tax only affects the 7000 richest individuals in Washington. Keep in mind we don't have any income taxes here.

What you are describing unfortunately is due to the external vendor teams managing support -- a business decision as you rightly mentioned. A lot of support became outsourced and the original support team became more of a tier 3 backline su

What I am saying is that this obsession was normal to us also. I didn't know any Googlers (whether in support or engineering) who didn't care about customers. We did whatever it took to resolve a support case in the quickest yet m
