I agree with the sentiment that the best course of action would be to focus on your own work and not get caught up in the coworker's performance. If you take the founder at face va…

I want to say that developers and smaller Saas companies might have played a role in this. Smaller businesses are not as big on ensuring everything works across browsers. Most deve…

I feel like this really depends on how the question is asked, how the interviewee is guided through the question, and the interviewer's expectations. If I was the interviewer, this…

It's easy to see if someone has a broken leg or test them for cancer. For most back pain, you can't even prove that person is actually suffering from it.

Why? No one is telling anyone to stop chemotherapy and use acupuncture to treat their cancer. In the context of back pain, so what if acupuncture isn't better than a placebo? We kn…

I feel like your pricing is too low, and you needed to be closer to Audible prices. I feel like your marketing plan relied on too many perfect things to happen. You should also con…

- Most fruits in the US are bred to last longer and picked earlier so that they can survive long trips from the farm to the grocery store. - Take a closer look at the ingredients i…

No one really knows the long-term effects of basic income, so it's all a bit of speculation and it's certainly possible that what you think will happen actually does. I personally …

I think with Dishero, the issue is product-market fit, and without it, none of the other stuff matters. My guess is the restaurants understand your product better and can more easi…

Whether you prefer the city or the suburbs is value-based. I value a low crime rate very highly. I don't know how you can claim to be objective and brush aside crime rate as an irr…

It's actually not a problem for many web developers. If you're working in Rails, Django, etc., you're not going to have the DOCROOT pointed at your top level directory. And .git is…

Personally, I think you're mistaken. Allowing anyone to propose a date outside of the control of the event creator can lead you to confusion for little or no benefit. Personally, I…

I'm piggybacking off your comment, but has no one else had issues with github pages and custom domain names? I put up a static site on github pages and checked in a couple months l…

Looks more like a configuration issue. The big clue is s/he dropped your code into a sub-directory but s/he's getting error in code not in that sub-directory (i.e. - not your code)…

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't believe it's necessarily cutting corners. Rather, it's by design. Rails values "elegance," and leans towards monolithism. Monkey patching …

Others have covered the possible approaches to talking with the developer and the boss pretty well. Aside from that, I just wanted to point out that the only big worrying issue is …

I wouldn't rely on this. My LINE was set to a prepaid number that I had let expire on purpose. I thought I would be fine because I also had a username set. When someone else regist…

I think your idea is fine for HotelSaver, but your example, $500 per month savings on $5,000 initial investment, is flawed. When you flip the script around, it's not just the vendo…

I don't think it's fair to make a comparison across geography. There are too many variables, such as cost of living and the employment market that may affect overhead. You can defi…

Most classes don't require an expert-level of knowledge and some teachers are completely incompetent, especially prior to high school. I had a science teacher in junior high that d…

I believe this is one of those things where everyone has their own idea of what 1 - 3 should be. I think it's ambiguous enough that people will see what they want to see and then r…

I think the key is that you're stating that fundamentally, copyright should have value. This is not a given. I can certainly imagine a society where copyright infringement is allow…
