The one bit value of growing vs not is the primary determinant of success (in this industry), yes. I’m not making a lifestyle biz.

Nailed it with this quote, especially because it scales to all levels of product development. Literally the only thing that matters (in the context of business success, of course) …

These kinds of reviews just reinforce my belief that the popular use of “studies” to support… anything… is fraught with potential for abuse. I can’t / don’t know how to do this ana…

I have heard this but as I’ve only worked at startups I’ve never seen it play out in real life. How common is it that it happens “all the time”? Only at bigcorps?

In what sense does the company have more information? They have more information about the details of the job, sure, but the applicant has more details about themselves. Which is “…

You don’t have to spend 50% of your income, you can move. I agree though, it’s a tremendous political failure that we have so under-built housing. Most cities could be affordable t…

It’s not. If “too many vacationers” and short term rentals have priced you out, you can’t afford it . Tough shit, welcome to life. It’s insane to me that people feel entitled to ow…

Nobody justified anything.

Not an art person at all, but after looking at a bunch of his babies, I think you are right. These babies have significantly larger and stronger features than any of the others I s…

I write code full time. I run Docker as little as possible, preferring to run everything “natively”. It’s so much simpler than figuring out how to get whatever shitty webstack work…

As someone that helped build and sell a startup (for hundreds of MM) in my 20s+30s pre-family, and now having a family… I cannot possibly conceive of putting in the time and energy…

Everyone says that until their neighbor’s hobby includes heavy machinery at 6am. Then they say “well no that’s this other non-zoning, non-HOA type of law we really do need”. But re…

Wow this is so interesting, thank you for the link.

The right approach is to immediately remove the flags after rollout… The actual approach is to maintain a million fucking feature flags, ensuring that almost all possible combinati…

Right on. I have a van I built out for camping, I cart the kids around in it all the time exactly because it’s basically a second home! Everything we need all the time. A place to …

In my experience and to parent’s point, it’s not about your comfort it’s about documenting, notifying clients, updating support, etc. All the non-code parts of selling software. As…

I think it’s that you are an old fuddy duddy :P Actually, if you work with SMBs/enterprises, I agree with you on customer facing changes. In my past life we would ship very frequen…

I mean, it’s valuable to me to sell my startup for more money. Valuable economic activity indeed. I would say if you are in the business of selling startups, you’re probably in the…

Just tried booking in the AirBnB app. The price shown on the map is the bullshit price, not the total including fees divided by the number of nights. So, the PSA is “don’t listen t…

Don’t leave us hangin’ with the asymmetry! From yet another, not having kids is a selfish choice.
