Well, I don't have all the data points, but it seems to me that snakeoiler should stand out as an anti-pattern. Maybe VCs see it differently. Maybe they'd inform me that the snakeo…

There's a lot of discussion here of how this was predictable given the absence of a visible prototype for so long, and the over-the-top secrecy of the project. However, for me this…

Ironically, I knew you knew. Does that make me a super-pedant?

Did anyone else smell poop while reading this? (there's gotta be a word for that effect)

Pretty sure he knows that.

No one is saying a company should operate without a leader. And also, no one is claiming that just anyone can be a good CEO. Some competence in the unique CEO skillset is required.…

I don't remember reading anything to that effect.

I could easily be wrong but I didn't think he meant the engineer literally worked 48 hours without sleep or rest, then literally slept for 48 hours. I took it as: the engineer regu…

All CEO bios like to begin by noting how early they wake up, and how the work out every morning at 6am at the very latest . I used to think this was a form of self-aggrandizement. …

I can't tell if you mean "part of the furniture" is good or bad. I've been at several places, usually in the 3-5 year range. But at this exact moment, I'm a bit envious of people w…

I suspect your starting point was different than OP's. He is describing (I think) a crippling nervousness. This is very different from just tensing or run-of-the-mill nervousness. …

I always say: Analogies are like raccoons.

I would suggest, if this is at phobia-level for you, it's worth thinking about why you're getting so nervous. I went from enjoying public speaking to absolutely dreading it (feelin…

When the first web browser came out, for me (and, I've heard, very many others) it was a "where were you the day of..?" moment. I literally remember the afternoon X-Mosaic came out…

It is better when you can decide, yourself, to exit to another company, rather than being pushed out and then having to find a new job. Certainly, a competent engineer SV will land…

Is this still state of the art for ultra-fast exposures, or is there newer better technology?

Gender non-conforming is a much wider net. This study you link of 9th and 11th graders, it is not surprising that a large percent (2.7% as you said) reported as trans or GNC. The o…

That was me. I am you. I'm welcome.

Yeah, that part kinda frustrated me. The boxes highlight, e.g., that Simone Biles and Michael Phelps has world records in their teens... so what exactly is the takeaway? I'm happy …

A random article from 5 years ago doesn't own this concept.

1-3% does not pass the sniff test. Way too high. A quick search gives the number 0.6% according to a 2016 study.

Sounds better than the alternative, which I'm all too familiar with. "Did everyone get a chance to read the doc I added to the calendar entry last night? No? Ok, I'll just review t…

I know your question was likely rhetorical and you know this, but I'll say it anyway... He is actively looking for ways to antagonize California. This issue and homelessness, he co…

Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche (esp. Walter Kaufmann preface edition). It's an energetic, angry, poetic, and often rambling tour de force on mankind overcoming its smallness. H…
