I recently discovered Kanopy and was surprised by the amount of A-tier movies you can stream there for free with a library membership (SFPL in my case)!

Just the standard advice: It's usually much easier to switch into a new role (MLE, manager,...) at your existing company than landing those roles directly at a new company. So if y…

It only talks about the business perspective, sorry!

One of my favorite genres! Any book by Steven Levy is great, he is the master! He wrote multiple books about Apple, and also about Google, Facebook,… Hatching Twitter: A True Story…

Their packaging is also careless! They have ruined so many books I ordered, and I am now buying most from other online stores instead (even though they are often more expensive).

Not necessarily, the market is very competitive here. But to get to $500k TC as an IC (<= L5), your company will have to do well to increase the value of your grants by ~50-100%. B…

It's not a terrible deal, ISOs can be very advantageous from a tax perspective.

Absolutely, I like it a lot! I am from Austria and moved here 2.5 years ago. In between I lived in Dublin, Ireland for 1.5 years (can't recommend unless you like rain). The main re…

A 6 year vesting schedule would be highly unusual. AFAIK it’s usually 2 (or maybe up to 4) years after an acquisition. Therefore I don’t think that this was a factor in his decisio…

Uber: https://twitter.com/alanzeino/status/1101167947874103296 I also talked to someone from Fb recently, and he said that even some internal teams have moved away from it.

I am from Austria, and just want to say that this assessment matches my own experience. Sadly I don't have an explanation for it either. I moved away 4 years ago but that's one of …

AFAIK it's at least not unusual. It e.g. also pauses at Salesforce.

Earlier this year Recode compiled a list of parental leave policies from various tech companies: https://www.recode.net/2018/1/31/16944976/new-parents-tech-c...

Asana: 16 weeks for either gender to be taken in the first year following birth or adoption. The leave can be split into two parts (e.g. 2+14, 8+8). Full salary and benefits but ve…

Yes. My headphones (Bose QuietComfort 25) are not wireless. While the extra adapter is only a minor annoyance, I am mostly frustrated by the fact that I can not charge my phone and…

I'm kind of bummed out that they didn't update the Voyage too. The Voyage still seems to be better but I don't want to buy an "old" model. I specifically waited for the next Kindle…

Take a look at LibEtPan, an open source Mail framework for C: https://github.com/dinhviethoa/libetpan This is by one of the guys from Sparrow (RIP) [1] and powered it under the hoo…

At my previous company we used Mandrill and were extremely happy with it. I like their Web UI a lot. I never used Sendgrid though so I can't compare the two.

Pick the unicorn. * Your stock options should be worth a lot more down the road. * It's fun and a better learning experience to be part of a growing company. * The unicorn's name w…

Sure. Just write me an email and I'm happy to share more information.
