Great article by PG! Too bad he did not specify the play book, i.e. to enter the public market at highly unrealistic inflated valuations so that VCs and founders can make bank whil…

Cant upvote this comment enough. This comment should be at the top of this thread!

I have some very good opinion of this. I work in big tech and I might be a canonical example of some users who no longer find Quora interesting. From 2012 to about 2014 I was absol…

> Personally, I’d rather protect the employees at the risk of the shareholders. Sorry, but thats not how capitalism operates. Modern corporations are created for the benefit of sha…

> As a side question, is your objective to ‘win’ the argument, or be correct? To me, it sounds like the former. My objective here is to get to the truth - nothing more and nothing …

So you have basically decided not to answer the relevant question but to parrot an idiotic left wing garbage narrative. Okay! in that case, I rest my case that unions can actually …

No I am asking for a situation when the unions have an agenda of extracting maximum benefits out of the company while actively encouraging its members to put in the absolute bare m…

This is all good in theory so here is my question: since unions are essentially a power structure at its core what happens when they try to abuse their positions? What is the check…

Why do so few CS majors end up being professional Software Engineers even including the ones that graduate from top schools like MIT/Stanford/Harvard etc.? Even bigger question - a…

RIP Bob Lee! I was highly inpired by some of your Java talks in Youtube and other places. Aside from that alas! what have things come down to in San Francisco? It has become an utt…

In the article that has been cited in the link the abstract says "Science says". I wonder if the writer even knows what Science is or means? No wonder our mass media today and publ…

No, that is what I am talking about. As one of the points below have mentioned more succintly- utility of a degree in terms of monetary renumaration is already determined by free m…

Colleges and universities as institutions were never meant for commoners. Most people forget that barely a few centuries colleges and universities were places that primarily catere…

I hope metaverse does not go the same way as Libra/Novi. If that happens somehow I think Meta will face an existential threat. I think Zuck understands this.

What happened to the Libra project? Anyone has any idea?

This is mostly accurate and true. A PhD degree is basically "knowing absolutely everything about practically nothing".

Don't do a PhD in either US/Canada unless you were in top 1% of the class and practically slept through all advanced Math courses (e.g. Convex Optimization, Linear Programming, Kar…

For me personally, I am still mystified by how subjective interviews like System Design/Behavioral are graded. E.g. if asked to design a large scale distributed system like Uber wh…

"Instead, I'm on a team that has and horrendous turnover and is staffed with below-average IQ people." "This company builds EVERYTHING in house, and the toolset is like going backw…

No I didn't mean blanket 5k to everyone. It could very well be dependent on the place you live. 1k - 5k might be an acceptable range. If you live in NYC you get more, rural Alabama…

I don't think it is especially if you are living in one of metro regions/tech hubs i.e. SF Bay area, Seattle, NYC etc.

We need universal basic income (UBI)! Period. I believe that in a country like US every working adult (18 - 64) should get a minimum of 5k a month for paying basic expenses. Furthe…
