It's a thin silver lining. I can't have coffee multiple days in a row, else I'll experience panic attacks (and in that moment i think I'm going to die, nearly reaching for a phone to call 911). And can't partake in

Oh wow, I'm surprised that this is not common knowledge given how common coffee is. I didn't even know it was a thing. File me under "A cup of coffee feels like a small dose of MDMA"

This is really great and an actual way out of loneliness and low mood. There's no quick fix - join a community, work on your body, and give it enough time. Also +1 to being platonic friends with women.

In big tech? One can pocket an avg 100k/year. Less in first few years, more later on. That isn't "quit immediately and coast" money, but several times a juicy down payment in the bank and a guaranteed MINIMUM 200k USD&#

Even just viewing a job purely as an economic transaction is short-sighted. You are at least making social transactions, and likely also meaning transactions. Hell, even a commute to work where you're spending time, gas, and risk on th

Thanks, this has given me a new perspective. I went through mbti at a workplace and it was used to give us an understanding of our co-workers. Your point that it's a self assessment and thus only "how you see yourself" and no

There is no entitlement in any country/state/province I've ever worked. You can quit at any time and your employer can fire you at any time - no reason needed either way https://www.ncsl.org/labor-and-employme

It's curious to me that so many companies have so many low value employees that if a ton of them quit then that is good for the company. It's not unbelievable - I've worked at a few mediocre places before - but what a stran

I am not in SF, and so I've never heard of any of those roasters.

Good example of what I mean: They offer 7 different coffees. Only 1 is decaf! As if it were a "flavor"

by wnolens 2y ago
Will an entrepreneur please make high quality (great tasting) decaf coffee ubiquitous? There's a growing anti-drug sentiment that should be a great tailwind. It's hard for me to find as good tasting a bean as it is with non-decaf.

I look forward to watching the chips fall. I accepted an offer elsewhere for less money on paper and more in my bank account and I think I made a great decision. Not to mention the Stubhub culture, which upon interviewing them , I felt was

If you live in NYC and want to own where your family can live on a single income, then it's important to be north of 300k.

Pretty cool ideas. If simple calculations were built into the apps I use, I would make daily use for napkin math. I've dipped my toe into the pen input tablet world a few times (often unimpressed), but recently committed to a new iPad

I figure they would be filtered out at resume review. But I guess you can lie very easily. Even on LinkedIn, there's no verification..

I've heard that from someone else and I almost can't believe it. My non-coding friends could write the pseudo-code for that, which is a pass in my interview loop. It's a trivial exercise in a 100-level coding course.

Agree. Outside of the fancy pants FANGetc architects who have promo'd to the point of only work on bleeding edge new stuff, we all have to fix the last person's stuff. That is the job.
