You say, "I like the security of steady pay". If you find a company that's really good, you can bank some of your pay now to make starting your own company later less risky.

>But working "on the Internet" means you're also comparing yourself to the best, brightest, and driven. This reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. My spouse and I bought a condo in a very expensive a

Yeah, I concur. My wife tried it out and wanted to do more, but it was all "in-app purchase this" and "in-app purchase that," and "you'll be tracked on our website," etc. All she wanted was to download a s

It's hard to tell from just a single blog post, but one thing that strikes me is how focused you are on computers and computer work. It sounds to me like you don't do anything else. Have you considered getting a hobby? Perhaps mus

I guess it depends on your definition of "newsletters that users subscribed to." I have never voluntarily allowed a company to add me to their mailing lists for any reason. I always carefully check or uncheck the appropriate check

How do you feel about going to the symphony or other theatrical events? It's pretty much the same - several people in a dark room not talking. But many people enjoy sharing the experience together because they can look at each other an

To me, even if it's the same price or costs more, cutting the cord is worth it because a) you aren't giving all of the money to the cable company - some goes directly to the content providers and b) you get the same content witho

I have. I'll admit this is rare, but one time I paid the city to put up some no parking signs the day I was moving so that the moving truck would be guaranteed to have a place to park. (This is apparently normal in Los Angeles.) When t

I see this as completely backwards. Tools like cmake are often worse for beginners because they have no idea how to understand them, and it involves learning another new language in addition to whatever programming language they're lea

I learned absolutely nothing from having to use horrid unix tools like gdb in college. The focus on unix tools, in my opinion, seriously degrades the ability of students to learn and unfortunately cements very very bad usability paradigms i

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, how can a company possibly know whether any given technology is useful to them if they don't have anyone evaluating it?

He's also the kind of CEO who thinks it's great that there's absolutely no real recourse for drivers or customers when something goes wrong. If you work for him, be prepared for it to be a one-way street.

I don't think it's exaggerated at all. I looked at the page for like 30 seconds, thinking to myself, "What is this? I thought it was supposed to be like Hacker News, but for products. It appears to just be a bunch of people p

Why does "do what you love" have to refer to work? I love playing music. I'm not particularly skilled at it yet, as I'm still learning how, but it's great. I don't make any money doing it, I just do it in my sp

There's also parental amnesia where as soon as a person has a child, they completely forget what it was like to be a child and get very frustrated that their children aren't adults. I see it all the time in colleagues.

Same here. I'm probably in the minority, but when I see founders in their own marketing, it creeps me out. I mean, it's one thing to have a picture of the founder saying, "Joe Shmoe - founder and CEO". But when they&#x27

Verizon appears to have some similar problem. I never even signed up for electronic billing. They just decided to stop sending paper, and I got bills via email for 2 or 3 months, then they stopped and I didn't notice until they called

The main problem with Verified By Visa (and whatever MasterCard calls it) is that in using it, you agree to be liable for it as if it were a card-present transaction, which is ludicrous for online purchases. Whenever I'm stopped to sig

I disagree that it's practically unachievable to enter the top 10%. I did it in my first year (2 years ago) without even knowing that they kept track of that sort of thing. Answer a single question a day (correctly) and you'll get
