Ships are safe at harbor but thats not what they are made for. I guess the world needs people who want to work for big companies and people who want to startup. The grass is always greener on the other side, so its not the worst advice to g

Most of it is good advice for fresh graduates who want to get into big companies. Shouldn't we be telling these young people to aim higher?. If you derive your sense of worth from a bigger brand and not your own efforts and caliber, yo

It is a general understanding that you hire someone who wants the job and who shows some acceptable level of seriousness to that effort. If someone goes to an interview and messes up that dynamic, many interviewers make a really quick decis

I am sorry to be the one telling this. The startup founders (not all) are in no way position to be picky about programmers. Programming is an actual skill that takes significant amount of effort to learn and requires constant learning and i

The wishlist was a bit arrogant. If it is so difficult to get women to work in tech may be it's not worth the effort for the founders to make it happen. It's already difficult to get people to work together and then you get a list

That probably explains why "other engineering disciplines" do not have as many startups as software. If you do not like the current place and its values why do you hold others and its owners hostage to your ideals? Why not start a

Tech workers have something so much better than that. Freedom. If you do not like the values of the current company find a new one or start one. Mob rule knows no fairness. When your ideas are vague, people fill them up with their version o

Vuejs just wants to be a web frontend framework. Reactjs wants to be a common way of building apps across Web, Android and iphone. Both have different goals targeting different usecases. Vuejs might do well for webapps due to its simplicity

The same thing happened in digital advertising. People developed "Banner Blindness" and mostly do not notice the presence of ads in your page. It's almost like people are very intelligent and you cannot fool them for a long t

To answer that question first you have to know what happens inside many of these companies. Its just too complex to come up with a process that is fair to everyone. There is a lot of overlap into different roles in this field Programmer Dev

Current advertising model of Twitter is not suited for the product. They tried to emulate google and facebook model of ad revenue by programmatically showing the user what might be useful to them and it did not work so well. People develope

Toxicity at workplace comes from attitude like you are showing. You just called me stupid for holding a different point of view. I bet you are not such a great colleague either. I do not think the stories out of Uber are any out of ordinary

Are you calling me a shill? Look at my profile, 3268 days on this site. You are not able to handle a disagreement and called me all kinds of names. You should talk to your colleagues and see if they think you might be one of those overbeari

We do not know what the truth is. We can only speculate. If those allegations were true, I wish uber will come out and address them. Uber itself is a victim here. They are going after some other big monopolies in the industry. It could be a

It is a PR problem because all the other people who did not have problems do not come out and say they like it there. If people come out and say I think uber is good to me they will look insensitive given the context of two women with bad e

This reminds me of a scene from the popular TV show Silicon valley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdXyPYKQo Smartphones, youtube, facebook and many other success stories had exponential growth. Once a product/idea

Actually time will solve this problem very easily. Uber does not have to do any thing differently. (Its not a recommendation). Every successful company has these problems. Success attracts ambitious people and many of these high achievers a

How do you explain the amount of money/effort spent by the big companies in trying to attract young kids out of college and the cultish attraction for these companies from young people who know nothing about the industry? Do you know o

It is impossible to keep everyone happy at a company at all times. The difference between a company which seems to have happy employees and the one that doesn't seems to be the amount of PR spending. It is an advertising problem. Some

They might have problem retaining that talent if they misrepresent themselves.

I do not see anything wrong with that. Some companies work hard to keep a simple and fun work culture. Not all companies solve hard problems. Some of the entertainment focused tech companies cannot attract right talent by putting a serious

It makes very less economic sense. If we want to dig ditches, digging with a spoon and fork creates thousands of jobs but using a robot, one person can do 1000 people work. Making this robot pay the taxes of many spoon & fork workers wi

Why would you make such unsubstantiated claims about "management" in general? Were you in management? What did you do differently to address such problems? This lack of trust in "management" and politicizing working to a

Why cant the workers create a forum and a bug tracking system and write their concerns and let everyone up-vote it and get the management to address them. Organizing is so easy and transparent with technology. You do not have to use old-fas

Trump marched forward despite so much negativity against him. He worked really hard to overcome his limitations and at the end won people over. Nothing could stop him. Why are you guys throwing in the towel at the slightest discomfort?.
