I don't call that Heathcare. It call that Heath"Scam" run by Big Pharma and Insurance Mafia.

"trying for eight years". "I tried to build tens of apps". "I started getting other ideas again" I am running a bootstrapped SAAS for 11+ years. Since you asked for honest feedback…

Agreed. That's one thing I realized I cannot do myself. I bought an expensive Mower Rider and tried it myself only realizing how much work it is for do trimming, blow, cleanup, wee…

It is all about the ROI. A lawn cut from a professional can cost anywhere from $25-$100 on an average (per cut). So with a $1000 lawn mower, you will get the return back in 10-40 c…

You never know the future but imagine the people who were bearish on personal computers when it wasn't a thing yet but was being discussed. Imagine Email, Internet etc etc. Now the…

OH no. This is really bad news. Gotta think of alternatives now. I never had a single hosting/software company that got better after being bought by PE. They got 1000x worse in a f…

"Why isn't it the top priority for everyone?" You mean afte we have solved hunger, poverty, human trafficking, drought, famine, natural disasters problems ? Sure after all that, I …

I never said "minimal severance". I am actually saying that give them a great severance but stop with the other BS about "oh how much we love you".

Because it was never about you. They have to fake empathy and provide "explanations" because they think its the "Safer" way. You already know that of course.

Because that's the truth and just because you fake empathy, the person getting fired knows what their worth to the company was. Sure there are people who don't prefer to hear the t…

I am a founder/CEO myself (a very small company so I don't have experience of mass layoffs for full disclosure). However, I don't get this explanation. If you feel genuine responsi…

"Not having empathy" may have made sense 20-30 years ago when mass layoffs weren't as common as nowadays. Nowadays, everyone knows how it works and how much they really care about …

The only possible positive thing out of this cringy article is that the severance is decent (for a US company). 4 months of pay and healthcare coverage through Year end. Everything…

The moment I see scroll-jacking on a website, I bounce. I don't even think twice.

It is bad because you are deciding something for ME, the user. That's bad UX because I want to decide my own experience and scroll jacking is the worst thing you can do for UX. Sto…

I run a bootstrapped B2B SAAS (12+ years now) and I have seen it all, made all the mistakes possible and had enough wins over the years to keep going. The first thing to understand…

what is your objective ? Are you trying to learn how startups work and hence wanting to work at one ? Or are you trying to work at a startup and hopefully build wealth with equity …

They are not just some random 3 have decades of real db experience behind them. They also just got funded which gives them the ability to expand and stay longer in the game.

"Why Us" => "I ran Postgres at Instacart, where we scaled the company 5x in April of 2020. The biggest problem we had was making Postgres serve 100,000s of grocery delivery orders …

Not the same comparison. Alphabet/Google has a solid 25+ year history. It's not 100% AI or not. It's about a Healthy and proven business model.

Agreed. S&P 500 needs to be seriously gatekeeped. We need safer boring companies in there thatbhave been peoven over a long period of time. Nothing against these companies but they…

To be fair, it is done exactly to protect against accounts like yours. HN quality needs to be gate-keeped and new accounts absolutely need to be throttled. You may have meant well …

Sure but thats a very cynical way of seeing things. A company cannot exist without making a profit but there are plenty of companies that try and take care of their people. At leas…
