I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps it was a high dimensional fragment. Or a local who all of a sudden thought he was a guard from the Philippines. Given the Don Quixote story, …

The right way to deal with new ideas is to treat them as a challenge to your imagination — not just to have lower standards, but to switch polarity entirely, from listing the reaso…

If those days go into all-nighters, you might have bipolar disorder. I went undiagnosed for years, and didn't believe it myself until I charted the moods with the help of roommates…

No, you are right on. It's really a bespoke to techstars_ solution for Google Cloud. When I think I web, I think HTML and HTTP and all the resources that can be accessed under thos…

Where's the data for the 60 interviews? I feel that this piece is nothing more than link bait without that data. That data could be anonymized, too.

If that were true, then why aren't frequencies capped for most campaigns run on-line?

I didn't want to be rude and say, "least talented people." Here I'm equating least interested with least talented.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. No, not necessary; contingent. No, we shouldn't all lay out positions. Given how much hacker news has been gamed lately, this does belong he…

Yeah, if recruiters are tagging the least interested in tech in my contacts, then I know it's a ship going down. Acqui-hire is their only way to replenish the talent pool, now.

All I can do is imagine Jesse Eisenberg saying this. There are other channels you can push your spend through with decent ROI. Nobody's platform be it a personal blog or small app …
