As has often been Stripe's way as a company, they are setting the bar for what other companies should strive toward. Has there ever been a more generous severance package posted to HN? As the owner of a (much, much) smaller company, I&

Interesting article, but could have used a definition of “F&B”. I presume it’s probably “food and beverage,” but it drives me crazy when an article uses an acronym (in this case, about 50x) without ever defining it.

Between Obsidian, Roam, Amplenote, and Reflect it has certainly been a golden age for note taking over the last few years. It's hard to remember that it was only 5 years ago that second generation note apps like Evernote, Notion and Be

I wonder if past generations have cared as much as we do about helping people feel better about their perceived failings? This essay fits snugly into a 2020s canon of NYT Best Sellers around "work less, enjoy more." My impression

It’s not possible to measure developer productivity, but “developer hertz” is still tied to commit count so not ideal. This is a problem I think is important enough to deserve a metric to measure the rate at which a repo evolves (emphasis o

This dark pattern smacks of an IBM esque legacy co that will be vanquished by better competitors in due time. But as a user that keeps his process monitor open, Adobe’s greatest sin is their multiple mandatory Creative Cloud processes that

Love that dashboard! Makes me wonder what your Line Impact would be for the various projects, seems like you get a lot of business value from each line of code.

Yes! It’s the sum of all these little details that makes the Mac implementation amazing. When I started using macOS I took for granted how much work had gone into making its touchpad experience possible, because it Just Worked. Now that I’v

As much as the parent comment strained credibility, this double-down (posted exactly 10 minutes after the original) breaks it. Seriously, how many $XB fintech founders are out there, waiting to tell their salacious tales about one of the mo

I have mixed feelings about the implications for free speech, but in the last 10 years I’ve seen YT comments transition from toxic cesspool to “never was heard a discouraging word.” I started investing in Twitter a few months ago when obser

I suppose it depends on how many meetings you have? In our company's culture of few meetings, about 90% of the time I received a Slack message "Can we chat when you have a quick minute?" it was indeed the employee quitting. E
