I was on a small team at an early-stage startup, and felt forced to do 7+ hours of good work every day due to pace and visibility. As a self-proclaimed productive dev, it was prett…

Why I am not religous: 1. Leap of faith is risky, while science is based on repeatable experiments. Kind of like when you're building a house, instead of hoping and praying the fou…

Playing a game like LoL is like being in a battle or war. Would you watch anime and shoot your gun with 'muscle memory' while fighting 5 ruthless, intelligent opponents? A fight re…

Does this mean the dealership thinks they can sell it for $10K+ more now even used?

This was fun to read.

Dam that's brutal, to think that slavery can still happen here and now via essentially blackmail.

Faangs always seem to be hiring, not sure but having a LinkedIn seems to get inbound Faang recruiters, at least for me as a US dev. And startups, YC who's hiring has worked for fri…

I think there are many straightforward answers. Try to get the $500k jobs. If that doesn't work and you don't want to grind LC for 6 months, go for $150-200k jobs like startups. If…

I like this viewpoint, it strikes me as mature, realistic and customer-focused. I think I'll learn a lot from your book, thanks!

As an author of the book that's summarized, how do you feel about in-depth summaries of your book in terms of it affecting sales and providing publicity? I've always wondered how a…

As an iOS dev who's had to deal with Apple's lovely rules, could you go more into this part? I'd like to hear more. '... why "the market" hadn't already corrected [Apple's ability …

Well expressed on cash applying barriers.

This hit in a different way

As a dog food lover (product dev, not Purina), I found this very insightful. I may frame it on my wall.

TurboTax recently tricked me using some dark UI patterns into spending 30+ minutes painstakingly filling out my tax forms in a way that made it seem like it was for the free filing…

The thought experiment is meant to take the situtation to the logical extreme, something that is unlikely to happen yet still realistically possible, in order to more clearly under…

It just seems like addressing the symptom, rather than the cause - that you shouldn't instantly whip out your big $20m legal stick to threaten someone. Using a PR firm might result…

That legal threat was not a good response. I think both sides messed up here. It seems like the ex-intern made an honest mistake especially given his age. This isn't exactly the sa…

There is a small (to your point, pretty small) risk that it could be used in place of repl.it or inspire other competitors. If this was done by an outsider, this would be totally f…

Rather than looking at it from the view of an employee or founder with power, I am attempting to view it through the lens of a good relationship between two people, with this being…

As a thought experiment, if you ran a business, and all your ex-employees released a free version of the same product, would you be cool with this? Could you hang out with them, sm…

Would this be considered product thread hijacking? The 'compliment' could also be interpreted as a disguised subtle diss (7wk product vs 2yr one)..

I really enjoyed this!

There does seem to be strong market pressure to have no more than 2 major platforms to support, and understandably so due to the amount of work. Linux never became mainstream becau…

All those companies were around before and during the existence of the iPhone. At least some had apps, and had an equal or better chance at having all those apps, so I wonder why t…
