The torture! The insanity! The stupidity! The constant bullshit! The madness! The never ending bullshit! If there is something you can do about that (doubt you would even if you co…

I strongly believe software needs to be tested, and that tests need to be written to avoid repeating yourself (or screwing yourself over) later on, but trying to write such tests u…

Yea, 3 years can be very little. But 3 years of real experience (plus intelligence) and the ability to actually come up with new and relevant solutions to problems probably trumps …

Open floor plans came about originally to fit more people into a space, and to get more work out of them (which it fails at doing, but the idiot management theory is that if an emp…

Perhaps. But there is also knowledge from experience, which may not always be written down. But having knowledge from experience is not limited to Google Engineers.

Brainwave entrainment while you are working. Piracetam. Acetyl L-Carnitine.

Nothing, unless the autonomy extends to busses/trains/etc (busses seem like a bad idea), then public transport could get even better.

Multivitamins of the right formulation (like Ortho-Core) are great, but I do agree, most multivitamin formulations are inferior or just plain shit. Eat right.

I ignore them.

I think someone did this to me (probably to get revenge). There is no history of mental illness in my family, and I showed no signs at all, then I randomly start getting harassed w…

Larry Page is an INFJ. Definitely a feeler. Sergey is either an INFP or an ISFP. If he ended up an INTP, then I suppose I could believe it. Steve Jobs is probably an ENTP (and a cl…

I agree that you need to be aligned with the companies vision, but I think conforming as others have mentioned would kill the very fire that would make you a great entrepreneur. Yo…

The problem with this is that most users don't want their YouTube account linked with everything else. They aren't a minority.

I'm interested in contributing to open source projects. How do I get started on this?

I'm glad the backlash is too much to ignore. They are getting way too annoying and invasive. I don't want my real name linked to my YouTube activity, I don't want to be forced onto…

They should turn down the $3 billion, yes. Unless what they've built is only worth 1/10th to 1/100th of that. If they reject such lofty valuations, rather than a small 10-20% bump,…

Employee here. Daily standup meetings in the morning are great. No more than 15 minutes, then done. Sets the course for the day. If there is nothing to discuss, then have the meeti…
