He could have also been professional and only stated that the employees statements are generally false, and left it at that.

The idea that people really work 80-hour weeks is TOTAL BULLSHIT. It's only self-aggrandizement. 80 hours a week means 11 hours a day every single day. That means you wake up at 8a…

I find that self-taught people have a bias towards self-taught. They see it as a reflection of passion, because that's someone who took their own initiative to learn. I see it diff…

There are two outcomes after the acquisition of a small company. You can tell based on their announcement message: * "It's been an amazing journey!" --> shut down. * "We have no pl…

Have you worked at Oracle, or just bashing them for fun because they're a large successful company?

Somehow I knew the top comment was gonna be "C++ is insane!!" How would you implement pipe functions in Javascript? And I mean literally using the pipe operator, and not just chain…

Sorry, my original point must have been very unclear. In a typical startup, the ratio of equity between founder and employee #1 might be 50:1 or even much more. I am always surpris…

I'm talking about the equity on day 1, not on exit day. But even on exit, the ratio is the same between founders and employees.

This I just don't understand. The founders have the idea, leave their jobs first, and raise the money. Fantastic. Then they bring in two engineers a couple of weeks later, who quit…
