I work for Wikimedia and I have been one of the few weirdos assisting in its creation back in the early 2000's. The first time I got exposed to wikis predates Wikipedia and my stan…

As a non US person, I have a couple questions: * What is P&A tech? * How one retires at 25 when working at Google which is way past IPO and the 100x return on stock option which is…

I was wondering how I could have browsed to /lists and /highlights and eventually found the first one in the footer of the page. May I suggest to add /highlights there as well? May…
