If you are paying 1200 per month to be in soma with 12 other people that is batshit crazy. And someone is making batshit crazy money off you. There are plenty of places you could get with a few friends for less even in soma. After the first

Nothing exciting here. I found the job online and submitted my application. One interesting bit though is that I initially tried to intro my way in - there was someone at the company whom I worked with several years ago. I reached out to as

I worked at one such lender. Here’s how they actually work with banks. Banks, being an integral part of the financial system, are only allowed to take on so much risk. Third party companies have no such restrictions. But they can’t issue lo

A friens of mine was once working with a developer who charged SF market rates but lived somewhere in Idaho. Part of me wishes for that, how much he must be cash flowing. Also i find it ironic that despite all our advances in technology mos

Sounds like the company is suffering from poor management. They can develop a product people love but sounds like everything (mfg, delivery, sales) after is chaos.

Click bait alert. They are turning wifi router hardware into a subscription, not Wi-Fi itself. In case the author or any readers were unaware, home Wi-Fi is already a subscription from Comcast, AT&T etc.
