why not both? If you want to do something incredible, sacrifices often need to be made.

I wonder if this is a misunderstanding on accountability. The demo days hold people accountable to others AND themselves. There is a general movement to eschew accountability which…

Slower != better There are times to go fast and take on a little debt vs going slow and getting it right. It's often hard to know the right time to apply the right strategy. I woul…

what if the push to work 4 days instead of 5, and less hours in a day, and the wedge being driven between the founders and the proletariat is the result of a psi-ops from Russia an…

fabricated outrage. There is no reason why a "go for it" startup wouldn't be honest about the hours they want to get out of employees. You don't have to work here. It's not always …

at will, exempt employee. no overtime. There is generally no cap on the number of hours an employee can legally work in a day. Employer can ask for just about any hours, and you ca…

Have a discussion. Present your case and listen to your manager's response. I can't speak for all managers, but I've never met a reasonable manager who wanted to drive our a good e…

I find the UX horrible for different reasons, ones that I believe are pretty easy for microsoft to address if they just watched someone like me use the product. I have not experien…

I forgot to add, if you have the oven capable of 900 degrees, you are best to use a 00 flour, like Antimo Caputo. I mix Antimo Caputo (60%) with Giusto's Ultimate Performer (40%)

OOoooO I like your style mister! Let people post their results, correlated with their location and time to pull humidity from the local weather and give them a place to store resul…

There is some good stuff in this recipe. It's a great starting point for learning. I built a wood burning pizza oven and have been doing experiments for 5+ years, and what I've dis…

"feature requests that are fishing expeditions on the customer's part". This is a red flag. If your product market fit is strong, and you understand your value proposition, your pr…
