Schools are nominally about learning but actually about a whole of other stuff -- it's a non-goal to get better or revolutionize it, so that's the main blocker for actually getting…

What's the story around getting into YC in 2019 and then launching in '24? I'm guessing there were some interesting pivots along the way ...

Interviewing is a skill and via the right practice you can get better at it. I went down that path and got much better at it. Some things to think about: - you can do practice inte…

Every company I’ve worked at in tech in the SF bay area has at a minimum been completely tolerant of LGBTQIAP+, to having dedicated employee resource groups, so these companies exi…

How is it justified to not include investment income channeled into savings as not part of overall savings rate? Money is fungible after all.

Obviously giving life advice based on a couple paragraphs is a little suspect, but it sounds like you have some technical skills and are interested in security, so why not just go …

This is impossible to answer without more information. How much money do you need? What’s your personality like? Were there any programming adjacent roles you thought were interest…

Is your question about saas or white label saas? There are many saas moats, but I can’t think of any for white label saas.

I feel very fortunate to have landed a non technical faang role early in the year. Simply applying never worked but when I was recruited I always made it to the final round if I wa…

In a business there are profit centers and cost centers. Life is better when you work in a profit center. Having worked in security this general rule applies.

As someone non-technical grinding interview prep has been a game changer for me. So I would say yes, probably. Figure out what questions could be asked, then practice via study, mo…

Thank you for writing this comment so I didn’t have to. As an additional piece, customize the resume to the job description as much as possible.

I worked on Birthday Cards, one of the apps listed out. Warms my cold pm heart to know that something I worked on was vaguely known about by high level Apple execs. At the time it …

What’s the issue with GDPR? If it is similar to other Apple products where data is collected / processed at the edge, then no more issues than anything else they do.

I had a tortured academic path - collected all the letters in high school and university. Despite this I was able to get into a good law school, where the format was a much better …

If you buy an option (the right but not obligation to either buy or sell at a certain price), then your liability is limited to what you pay for it.

What were the hedge funds, what happened? I’m a fan of NNT, but I want to get a more complete picture of whether his “stuff” works or not, and good info is hard to come by.

I work in data privacy and grc. First, a random middle manager cannot simply peek at customer prod data, that’s seriously locked down. Second, attempting to do this would get you i…

I started a job at Meta after the November layoffs. The process felt pretty long for me (four months) but talking to other people it was not atypical. I’ve never worked at a FAANG …

Maybe we are kindred spirits? There are no perfect places to put the desk, just tradeoffs. I solved it by putting my desk on casters, so I can esily roll it (and lock it) as needed…

I’m surprised to see it that low. Downtown SF is pretty dead. As an introvert looking for some quiet time I head into the office with an open floor plan to not see people while I w…

As someone who has done this don’t do this. I get so much crap e-mail.

Time to demote Antarctica to an archipelago? (And join Pluto on the geographic name B-team)
