I also think we underestimate just how many apps are being created with the intention or desire of generating revenue that fail to do so. It's a fairly arbitrary calculation anyways, the point is the expected value is on the same order

Is it worth it to be an App developer? How about versus working at Google or Apple? From their perspective, the purpose of your work is to enrich their platform. The difference is in the distribution of payout and work conditions. Rather th

I would finish it. You'll be pushed to do courses like analysis of algorithms and operating systems, very tough and important topics you might not cover otherwise on your own. While these may seem disconnected, the fact is you will bui

Seriously. I'll never understand how people can continuously get so excited about new "design". From my point of view, if you're competing heavily on design then you're in the business of a commodity and hence have

If so (about the IB-types), that sounds a little worrisome. These are the type of people that one could imagine being good at faking early progress on paper / online, and not following through because building a startup and being poor

Question - why did IronPort cancel the contract with their customers if they just got the feature implemented that they seemed to want? Was it a done deal - i.e. they were losing those customers anyways? Also, survivorship bias much? Two ex

Wow this seems to be a very clear-cut value add. Question on how the technology works: I don't really understand what a "battery OS" is. Do they have circuits that somehow manage the battery better or something?

As a young person, this is ridiculous. Assuming I was a founder that could afford to hire people, I'd kill to have older and experienced engineers to learn from, and work for me. I don't care if they can only work 9-5 weekdays, th

Not to be cynical, but isn't this whole thing a glorified research project with founders that can sound visionary? Maybe that's a good formula.

I think this is a good idea for investor and tech entrepreneurs (building a business in US opens a ton of capital opportunities), but I think it's fundamentally at odds with immigration and popular opinion, and thus the effect on polic

Cool concept, but there's no way it's happening with the current Glass optics. The screen is just too small, removed, and low quality.

It's a very idealistic message, but I think it's worth thinking about from time to time. I used to (still sorta do) think that entrepreneurship for people in my age range (20s) was a potential answer. But oftentimes the urge to r

Quitting sounds like it could be the right choice, modulo some real-life constraints. One of which might be, if it's your very first job, not staying for at least 6 - 12 months. There's some value to putting in those dues, you&#

This false dichotomy is seriously getting annoying. If 60 hours is sustainable for you, do it. If only 30 hours is sustainable for you, do that instead. But stop imposing onto others what is right or wrong when there are so many factors a
