that many people likely live in different timezones, or have conflicting meetings, etc. etc.

One model I've seen is moving the review stage to the designs, not the code itself. I.e. have a `planning/designs/unbuilt/...` folder that contains markdown descriptions of feature…

in 2020 we lived through the extreme left's remedial lesson in public safety. Now we're living through the MAGA right's remedial lesson in trade policy. (Most MAGA right know this,…

XKCD has a good video about this. The top of the water is remarkably safe, and a life vest would keep you up there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFRUL7vKdU8

I see the value here. The problem isn't just the search; it's the trust. The biggest hurdle for Zenode won't be the tech, but convincing an engineer that your AI's summary of a foo…

"personal" doing a lot of work there :-) (And I'd be envious of your impact, of course)

Searched for "innovator's dilemma" in the article, didn't find it. The crux is not whether the extremely rich incumbent (google) will have better infrastructure, but whether that i…

With golf, there are other dimensions course designers could use to make the pro game less about distance. Tighter fairways, faster greens, etc.

I suspect this may result in more pitches away to these batters so they have to make contact on the narrower end of the bat. I.e. it's a move that may well have a counter move.

descriptively: Apple has enough market clout so that it (implicitly) thinks developers will pay the time cost to overcome the lack of documentation and save apple the time it would…

Well, sure, but then YC in the _present day_ is collecting value based on what YC was in the _past_.

I had a terrible time trying to find react performance _monitoring_. There's plenty of performance _troubleshooting_ once you already know what component is slow, but nothing that …

Uber has different share classes with different voting rights https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/technology/uber-chief-tra... --------------------------------- Even if a worker sel…

Hi Eric, Tiho, Marcus, etc. This is a fantastic start. Yes, angel.co/clear was complicated. I hope you have better luck driving adoption. What you are charting at the top is the co…

Is that real return? (i.e. adjusted for inflation) Or even better, is that comparative performance, i.e. 10% better than a vanguard index fund?

Some of the earliest work that Kahneman and Taversky (think behavioral economics or biases) stumbled upon that told them the brain was filtering/processing unconsciously and incorr…

Just have to put away 5k/month to afford a barebones downpayment... in 5 years.

IIRC (8+ years ago), athenahealth was very open with internal data, as part of building an internal culture of honesty and trust. The Exec team walked the walk and showed us very d…

Fair. I went too terse with the title.

That experience was the instigator. It's why I wanted to make the product.

yeah, hence "at best". There are bigco's where you'll stagnate. There are startups where you'll only learn how to make CRUD apps in rails.

Author here. Yes, that was my stupidity at 24 that cost me over $100k. Woohoo! Ask away. This is early, feedback welcome. Loads of edge cases to explore and catch. For the most par…

True, but startup employees shouldn't be effectively penalized for inexperience in arcane startup securities and tax law.

Yes. Nobody who understands the risk-adjusted rewards of startups does it for the money. Best odds of getting rich? Go work at Google and bank your check/bonus. At best, startups a…
