How are you supposed to install an ad blocker on an app?

I did a backup and complete restore. It went from completely unusable to annoyingly usable. Still considering downgrading to 10.3

It's the sense of belonging... employees didn't get jackets because they were cold and asked the company to buy one for them...

Uber not doing anything about it is that "discriminatory, anti-women culture" you're looking for.

Even if you have a weak academic and employment background you can ABSOLUTELY get a dev job that won't be designed to fuck you over, like this one is. You might have to move, you m…

It would be awesome if they could interview as a team instead of individually.

This is cool, but to really make this game changing they'd revamp their interview process to interview all members together (or in pairs of 2-3) some people just perform better wit…

I think (know) many companies actually do this informally all the time. It's fairly common to hire designers in particular this way. Stripe is smart to formally and publically anno…

Besides the influx of tech people moving to San Francisco in the last 5-10 years (many of whom disappear in a downswing, ask anyone living in SF for 99-05), I haven't heard or seen…

There's no historic surplus of men. It's entirely created by selective abortions.

Great post. I've seen feedback from hundreds and hundreds of interviews, both technical and non, and by far the most common reason for rejecting someone is they did not answer the …

Your experience (and others like it) is the reason Airbnb decided to redo recruiting from the ground up. Almost the entire recruiting team has been hired in the last 2.5 years. Cle…

Searching for Blast Theory it looks like it may be already available but called Chat To Me?

Airbnb - San Francisco We love you. https://www.airbnb.com/careers/departments/engineering http://nerds.airbnb.com/

Yup, they didn't renew the google contract

HR for startups wouldn't and shouldn't be like HR for big companies. It doesn't have to slow a company down at all, and it's definitely a function that can enhance a company cultur…

That's a good point and honestly, that kind of sucks for early employees, but it's not going to affect whether or not a founder decides to take money from this fund or if it's succ…

Totally agree. Reputation is the most important factor in response rates. Not to say this isn't a good approach to cold emails, but expecting anyone but the CEO of Stripe to get a …

It's totally company's fault in that case, although not the recruiter's. If you get contacted by a company who previously gave you an offer, that means the company isn't investing …

I want to know what you actually posted on Facebook now!

Um, no one has enough contacts to ping and hire the amount of candidates a start-up or any other company needs. This isn't lazy recruiting, this is just recruiting.

If you're relying heavily on your personal network I'd be worried that those 803 people were not true customers. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea, but I'm wondering…

Have you thought about establishing a minimum interest rate lenders can set to avoid indirectly contributing to the traditional trap of foreign aid?

Excellent point - I think working at a regular job is important to appreciate what you might be getting out of a startup and what kind of expectations you should be having going in…
