    I think the challenge with having no process is this: You have to rely on great chemistry and raw talent. Look at Spotifys videos on their process. Every team is self-driving, beca…

    You should make a personal website, and just copy-paste this post onto it. Would be a bold statement!

    I don't think giving them money should be about "getting people back on track" or anything similar. It's just to give them money for a beer, a burger or something to ease their day…

    I'm a big worrier myself, and these thoughts often get the better of me. I have been unemployed for a couple of months last year, and although I live in a scandinavian country, it …

    I call bullshit. If he thought about competitors, it obviously affected his actions. So how can he know, he would be where he is today, if he hadn't thought about competitors? This…

    And learning the basics just doesn't seem to cut it anymore. It seems like most enterprise technology builds on older versions of older versions making it more complex. For instanc…

    I'm just stating the facts. But let me explain how the educational trajectory looks like. Sorry I don't know the correct terms for all the different levels of education. But here g…

    Are you asking if it would be feasible for companies to take in well-educated people, and teaching them the programming/dev-craft? I don't know. But right now, companies are trying…

    Where I'm from (Denmark), most people start university when they're 18-22, and then you have to do a bachelors degree (3 years) and a master degree (2 years). Often times, people s…

    "If you get to the point where you’re turning 30, you’ve never held a real job and you don’t have a college education, then it is very hard to recover at that point." I've raised t…

    I'm so bummed out by this. Rumours had me hyped for a cheaper package, but seeing as it's 1599 USD in my country, I will not be looking into buying one now.

    Showing someone (or another dog) that you're excited or scared ("tail between his legs") is a very potent social mechanism I think. I don't think it adds much to the motor skills o…

    Thank you for the heads up. I'll check those tools out.

    I don't throw language like this around a lot, but this was actually very inspiring to me. I'm currently between jobs, and have a hard time figuring out what direction I want to go…

    I'm not from the US, so I don't know about that "RV Culture". But if I'm cynical, it sounds like Amazon is looking for people who can't afford to say no (which is why they live in …

    With stores like Toys'R'Us shutting down in UK, the market for Amazon will grow bigger I guess. More and more traditional retailers will go out of business, and I don't think all o…

    I think you are right about the mild depression. In my own post further up, I suggested Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a possible solution (possible to do as self-study and self-…

    Without blowing this out of proportion, I think this can also be a slight case of depression. At least, lack of motivation (perhaps from some sort of "non-joy" in your work-environ…

    It's a good place to share information I guess. I would've liked it to be a bit more academic if I were to browse it more often. If you work in consulting etc., it's also a nice pl…

    Not as much as LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a fairytale-land for adults, and it's bizzare (to me) that anyone wants to participate. It's not even humblebragging anymore. It's "Look what I…

    I'm just stuck with this thought: I spent 6 years "accomplishing" very little. Others (programmers eg) will have 5 years advantage on me, or even more, as a lot of people will have…

    I went through university not knowing how to study, and as a result, I now have a "worthless" degree. One thing is, that the university and the degrees I took was a joke. 3-6 hours…
