Agree. We have seen this before. What if someone reverse engineered Twitter's services and built a separate client and tried to monetize it. What would Twitter do? What if someone …

It is interesting to see that employees of Convoy aren't saying bad things about the CEO. But people on the outside who don't know the CEO are saying bad things. Usually it is the …

They got caught in the same thing that happened to Flexport and others in the freight industry. Price per shipment cratered -> Revenue cratered. (They make a % of each shipment) ->…

Not clear that slander is in play here. Neo used a framing that made themselves look better and others look worse. YC refuted it. I am assuming YC has the receipts for broader insi…

To be clear these are not random people inside the respective organizations. These are the CEOs of the organizations. I trust that they had the judgment to decide that they needed …

As I understand it, the beef is that Neo compared themselves to YC claiming to be a better incubator because they have comparatively more mentors. YCs contention is that the number…

Steve Jobs hired John Sculley III. And then came back to rebuild the company.

This is the scariest part of the whole article “during a presentation they said took months to prepare.” This sounds like what I would expect in the federal government or IBM. Not …

Don't trust the company. Trust the business model. Eventually a company with great intentions will be dragged to do terrible things if it required to serve their business model. Go…

Oracle is one of those companies like Microsoft which many in the tech industry wrote off years ago. Neither one qualified for the illustrious FAANG acronym. Ideally, when these th…

“Immigration support: We will set the termination date for March 1, 2023, giving those with visa applications (and a desire to stay in the US) as much time as possible to find a ne…

The timing is interesting. The job market has finally softened. Employers have been waiting for a moment to kill off the WFH movement. Expect other companies to follow suit.

Is your take that Microsoft should offer this for free? Or if they are not willing to do it for free, Microsoft should cancel this service and we should wait for Apache or someone …

It depends on what the goal of the exercise is. There are substantially fewer CEOs relative to SWEs. If your goal is to help the most impoverished, you are better off reallocating …

You might be surprised. I suspect people will be quick to identify the problem with CEO pay but not use the same logic to identify the problem with SWE pay.

If you feel like your salary is too high compared to Cambodian workers, why don’t you do something about it? For example, donate 50% of it to a charity in Cambodia helping poor peo…

I find these articles lacking any nuance. “CEOs pandemic greed grab has sparked outrage among Americans across the political spectrum” Guess what the wage gap is between a software…

And all companies that focus on selling to other startups. Like Brex. They were the first to pop during the dot com bust.

So far. We are early in the cycle. Hiring freezes and layoffs are just starting. If this keeps on for multiple years (like the dot com bust) then it will get very painful.
