One of the scenarios they describe - hiring documents - strikes me as a VERY limited value proposition. I can’t imagine someone paying a lawyer to review their hiring documents mor…

I think "crashes" is a little bit sensationalist. They're down which is obviously not great but they're down by less than 10% at my time of writing. While it won't get as many upvo…

Thanks! I also always felt like I was being ripped off by other companies too. The cost severely outweighed the value I received. With Zoom, I pay a lot for Zoom rooms but they are…

Zoom charged us a fraction of what we paid other more traditional video conferencing companies (GoToMeeting, WebEx) and provided I think a better product in many regards. Not only …

To answer your first point, you could argue that but the reality for Twitch is that they may not possess the bandwidth to build it themselves. That's not to say that they aren't sm…

A practice we've implemented to manage this is tagging pull requests that have anything over 250 added (green) lines of code. Before anyone is willing to give you a code review, yo…

This takes such a short-sighted, illogical view of the underlying mechanics that tax expenditures and tax breaks rely on. In the case of SNAP, you are eligible for those benefits i…

This is what a PE (Private Equity) Firm basically does from my understanding. They are a company, that buys, (hopefully) improves, and then sells companies. For example, a PE Firm …

Ps. I don't know why I expect a better analysis from this article since it's in Slate...

Additionally, I don't like the percent increases on absolute numbers. I feel like some normalized data (either per capita, or per capita in specific metropolitan areas) would be ve…

I think the author's definition of homeless is a little bit facetious and it sounds like a humble brag. It's very different to be homeless because you ran your technology startup i…

IDK how small your company is but I HIGHLY recommend switching to JustWorks. We were able to remove a lot of duplicated services by just using them. It's got a brilliant interface …

Would love to get a response to this. We are required to be HIPAA compliant and started out on Heroku. We basically only had a prototype built and didn't have any clients yet, so w…

Couldn't agree more. We built up a huge cucumber test suite and are now struggling to transfer it all over to RSpec with our unit specs. We were convinced we were doing it all wron…

I'm not a recruiter but we tried to hire someone who needed an H1-B/J1 visa and it was truly awful. We went through trying to make it work/expedite the process but there was nothin…

The most prolific users of excel that I know of are: 1. Investment Banking Analysts 2. Researchers/Academics In either case, I would try to find a smaller firm with a relationship …

Just wanted to say thank you for replying!

Could anyone ELI5?

I don't mean this sarcastically but what's wrong with quora? I've always found it to have pretty good content but your comment seems to be implying it's assumed to be a bad place t…

They are pushing these agendas but unfortunately the standards are rather abysmal. "Meaningful Use" has become the butt of many jokes. HITECH is the preferred compliance framework …

I have trouble believing this without more detail. I'm an older millennial and have a very similar situation to what you're describing (good university, tech industry, run my own b…

I like it too!
