I think the key point here, which seems sound and important regardless of what we think of his examples, is that people who want to maximize the impact of their green tech work should focus more on minimizing upfront adoption costs

There's absolutely no good reason why the same team can't just make another great focused product under the same company umbrella instead of ruining the original

Incredible and terrifying that this needs to be explicitly asserted

The profitability slide with the cute animal pictures is a pretty good summary of everything that's disgusting about startup culture. Allred is clearly a huge piece of shit & YC should be ashamed of having funded this scam that pre

Having majored in English Literature at an Ivy, let me just say, 30% is a pretty damn good industry placement rate. That said, I'm sure the large majority of those people could have done just as well through self-study and $1-2k worth

I don't think it's possible for something to have less sex appeal than an online advertising scam named after a star wars character

I don't know about you - you might be insane for all I know - but I'm MUCH more likely to report a bug if I think there's any chance of it being fixed

Chuck Severance has a nice interview about JSON with Doug Crockford where Crockford argues that one of the main reasons his baby has been so successful is that it's unversioned. No new versions, no new features, no bloat, no compatibil

I don't often downvote, but when I do, it's dumb shit like this

1. Who are you to divine what he would prefer or to conclude that $100 million is enough for working on Stardew Valley for 10 years 2. I don't care what he would prefer, anyway 3. Regardless, it's not an either or situation

I have zero interest in playing this but will probably still buy to support

I don't blame the guy, most software dev (most web dev, anyway) is just white collar plumbing. Fixing broken shit pipes gets old

Working as a software dev for a company is horrible in many ways (the ways being different depending on the size of the company and the industry), but good luck to the guy finding something significantly less terrible and soul-crushing and

Unfortunately I think he's pretty likely to be right about the implosion part

It's ok. We would have been too powerful otherwise

This is work by the Cliqz team they bought out, primarily. Just to give credit where it's due

I don't see a single inline exercise? This is like being taught to bike by being told to watch videos about wheels

Ok, maybe not the "better paying" part. Should have put an "and/or" in there somewhere

"Preparatory industry" is a bit much. The only thing people really need or use for interview prep is Leetcode, which costs about as much as Netflix if you buy an annual subscription, and provides hundreds of hours of what should b
