> I'm a serial startup CTO Is that a bad thing or a good thing? Like, have all your previous places closed, exited, what?

Is that course actually useful? Watching a lot of Gary V's vlogs and ask shows makes it seem like he only puts that out for people who are clueless. Is it Social Media for Dummies …

>And to make things even more confusing, our engineers were all using the dogfooding version of Asana, which runs on different AWS-EC2 instances than the production version ... Tha…

I just don't think value is only delivered over a 10 year period. It should take a decade (or 7 years) to get your initial 'reward'. It doesn't make sense to be locked into somethi…

Oh god. I think insane vesting schedules are terrible. Let's not make 10-year vesting schedules. https://zachholman.com/posts/the-new-10-year-vesting-schedul...

I guess it makes sense that if you object to having nearly, if not completely, equal equity splits, you shouldn't work together. If you aren't willing to give significant equity, t…

I don't think they meant brand risk to Stripe. Credit card companies don't like "immoral" businesses and refuse to do business with them. There are quite a few stories about porn s…

Eh, we just don't talk about it. My fiance works in a t-shirt printing shop and I work as a developer. I enjoy hearing about his work, he enjoys hearing about mine but we know neit…

If your purview of mental health starts and stops at ADD/ADHD, you aren't really qualified to write off all of psychology.

Yeah... like I like this idea. I just don't know how sustainable it is. I am decent with money (Almost 0 debt, almost 1 month of expenses, etc) but I don't really feel like living …

Definitely. The "worst case" is just walk away from my lease and move in with in-laws.

>You should save until you have at least two years It is a little late to be doing this. I have pretty bare-bones expenses (Fine, my apartment is 40% of my income) but I would stru…

I don't see how someone can rationalize that someone making $100k should have to have roommates. I am not saying they need more money, but I don't understand how we have gotten to …

>I want to fix something that's manifestly broken. I envy Elon Musk above all others, because he's seen terribly important things that were very broken, and had what it took to bre…

Everything is a gun then. I ate a banana once. I will die some day. Bananas are guns.

First off, I agree. I agree that everyone who continually says "programming" is dying and in 5 - 10 years, "AI" will be writing code (or whatever else they can dream up) have no id…

Nice sponsored article there.

Gosh, that sounds a really terrible place to live. So glad the US isn't like that...

Pretty sure Singapore gives the death penalty to drug dealers. Maybe even drug users, but I do know at some point the minimum punishment for any drug dealing was death.

True, Operation Paperclip wasn't exactly the, uh, most optional thing from what I understand.

I don't think they failed as much as they were never meant to succeed. There are just so many places where the military could've outright "taken out" Erdogan but didn't (such as wh…

Went back and re-read it, the entire first section is a lot of overly complex babble. The rest of it is much better.

A lot of them. It came across more like the author was trying to show off their vocab than explain a point. For example: >Any large and alienating infrastructure controlled by a te…

Calm down with the $5 words. It isn't that I am stupid but it makes for a really annoying read when I am having to think more about the words than the meaning. I shouldn't have to …

50,000 chimps all banging on keyboards will produce good things.
