It's so funny. Every single time a company raises a ton of money at a large valuation, the comments are always filled with "how do they justify this valuation" or "they aren't work…

The best way I’ve heard this described: AI (LLMs) is probably 90% of the way to human levels of reasoning. We can probably get to about 95% optimizing current technology. Whether o…

Odds are this is a dev shop with more than one person doing at least some things. It would explain how “he” was able to get so many jobs and maintain appearances. And a lot of star…

Student visas tied into tech hiring, so it's at least tangentially related. But I agree, that should've probably been scrubbed as well. Not sure why I'm being downvoted. It's liter…

Nintendo has never competed on graphics. They compete on having the most fun, accessible, entertaining games as possible. And say what you will about their business practices, they…

Lol in what world was the US education system the envy of the world? We’ve been routinely clowned for overspending, poor outcomes, university tuition bloat, and everything else und…

There isn’t a single founding engineer at a publicly traded company that regrets their choice to sacrifice salary at a more stable company for 1% of a startup. Becoming a founding …

The math simply never works out in favor of lower salaries/publicly funded healthcare for high paying US roles like software engineering. Even taking your (high, assuming family of…

Never think that pure hard work leads to success, placement, privilege, or anything else. The farmhand in a field works harder than 99.9% of high paid tech employees. Hard work is …

I’m pretty sure in the grand scheme of things the Forbes family is still perfectly OK with the association

It’ll be a billion dollar business just like Clash of Clans or Candy Crush are. A few whales will account for the vast majority of the spend and the majority of the population won’…

I tried to use the Vision Pro for work, and I'm not sure if it was just my eyes or what, but looking at code inside of that thing was just...exhausting. When I took it off, I looke…

They sell an online subscription. Some states consider there to be a nexus if you’re selling to residents in the state. NC doesn’t tax digital software, so that would complicate th…

This is hilarious coming from a mayor that literally cut funding to schools and police to support all the illegal migrants coming to NYC

Yeah I’m skeptical of the happiness metric. Most people living their day to day lives would say things still feel a lot more “negative” than pre-pandemic

I think you’re right. It’s irresponsible/dangerous for a business not to try to grow as fast as it can, especially in as cutthroat a market as tech can be. Just how the system work…

This is easy enough to understand when you decouple “success” vs “VC success”. If you survive as a business long enough you’ll be successful almost by default. It might not be the …

As a policy Southwest is one of (the?) only airline that doesn’t overbook flights. They only sell the seats they have. From a business perspective it would be dumb to not offer all…

Amazon made web-based book selling mainstream. Emphasis on web. Of course it was a tech company.
