    Kyle was a fine CTO, and these are the qualities you listed. CEO is a different role, and without any checks in pace he’s pushed the organization so hard it is where it is today. E…

    Left my job in March, after a series of terrible managers I was waking at night dreading coming back from vacation. Being FANG adjacent, it paid well and I have no rush to find new…

    You’ll laugh but bear with me, Meta recruiter just reached out to me this week, so even parts of Facebook are hiring, and my relevant skill set. Of course I don’t care about VR gog…

    I’d have to guess, but fake internet points? The ability to say “I’m ranked 5th at blah blah chess website”. Maybe it’s not even to others but just to themselves.

    You will get through this. I'm sorry you're not getting the support you need, this can create a lot of stress. You're making a lot of assumptions about your performance, since your…
