Do NOT show this to most managers

You actually just kind of gave an example of what I meant! Developers are the consumers in this case, and they'll almost always opt to use AWS and Azure versus hosting their own in…

I personally think this will be one of the biggest "what the hell were we thinking" ideas to come out of the still-developing hangover of the 2013-2023 startup space. From my persp…

Even if AI should be home-run, it probably won't be for most people. In a more technical community, it's natural to think that most people care about "values" when it comes to tech…

I did a similar thing to you. However, I do feel like cutting your teeth as a "founding engineer" at an early startup has 2 major benefits: 1. You get to see what it's like under t…

I think that was a pretty good place to get out without trying to time the market. I may eat these words, but I think BTC will see 20K again... ... at least, that's what I hope, as…

Maybe it won't go back down to 8, but I do consider it very likely it'll drop back down to at least 12-15. Humans simply don't work in a way that allows something to nearly triple …

This viewpoint doesn't hold true far outside of forums like this one and certain subreddits. People just don't care about any of the things you noted, and if they see everyone wear…

Super cool, I've never thought about it this way before. Having read about this stuff somewhat intensively, it just goes to show how many blind spots I have.

This is an interesting take. As someone who is relatively interested in this stuff but by no means an expert (i.e. I've read a few pop-psych books), do you have any further reading…

This is one of the main reasons I love using Go for backend work, and the lack of this functionality is just one of the reasons I dislike JavaScript. Anything to make JS feel less …

FYI - not sure if this is your website, but when I press escape I'm taken to a Squarespace admin login page

I thought it was just me that can never get the right god damn angle to see those signs! I swear the ones at Union Square I feel like a gymnast trying to just see how far away the …

I'd be curious to hear what someone who is just visiting NYC would think of something like this. From my experience, once tourists enter a subway station, all bets are off in terms…

A lot of people do this - just like I've seen a lot of people put "Arctic Code Vault Contributor" on their LinkedIn pages, or list that they're a student at MIT because they're tak…

Ugh, I hate stuff like that. Number of GitHub contributions, lines of code, number of commits - these don't actually tell people anything. I know to a recruiter doing a cursory gla…

Definitely a valid point, I'll clarify because I definitely don't want people to shy away from open-source as I think it's some of the more altruistic work developers can do. Even …

I think #6 should be in big bold font at the top. I know Hacktoberfest is certainly exacerbating the problem, but as an open-source contributor for ~2 years myself, but someone who…

I have to disagree - I feel like most successful investors explicitly look for ideas that can grow in the exponential fashion you describe. YC particularly doesn't seem to show any…

This, to me, is just furthering a new channel through which people try to get famous, like acting or being a professional athlete. Past the surface-level veil of "online presence,"…

I have to imagine that in most businesses and startups alike, at least those that survive, it's relatively common knowledge at this point that intelligence is not the critical dete…

I think this question begets the question of how we even classify life that isn't based on Earth's organic chemistry. If we only have one frame of reference for "life," how can we …

Depends on the location. In NYC, at least, that's definitely not the case (and it's a big reason why Manhattan is quickly turning into block after block of Starbucks followed by Ch…
