Yeah and this is where I honestly don't understand (and am suspicious of) the VC firm's take on this. My cofounder is happy with this, I'm happy with this. We have tiebreaking and …

Wholeheartedly agree. I really don't see any rational basis for this, and it feels like a huge waste of emotional energy. I guess it would be good to know: What is the good faith a…

I wasn't asked to meet repeatedly. The first time this was brought up it was squashed by my CEO without me being present. This time (during our seed round) it was brought up and my…

A little context: My cofounder and I started our company about a year ago and have already raised a pre-seed round. My cofounder (CEO) and I (CTO / Product) agreed at the time that…

Hi all, I realize the answers here may be biased (we are after all on Hacker News). I recently fielded an offer from an unnamed Venture Studio. For those unfamiliar a Venture Studi…

When you have a 'bully pulpit' as powerful and far reaching as Facebook now provides to the president then it is totally reasonable to want to hold them accountable (given you disa…

Just out of curiosity, what keeps you from speaking out (besides a strong feeling of group think). Have you actually experienced firings / ostracism from people at the company? Whi…

Not looking for a job, but I absolutely love Notion! Keep up the awesome work.

Will be interesting to hear her perspective, but like an above poster mentioned it doesn't amount to much. Couple that with the fact that athletes notoriously buy into 'woo' treatm…

While the terms are interchangeable I would focus your efforts on becoming a Software Engineer (with a specialization in Front End). I say this in an era of bootcamp grads, online …

But you've sort of hit the nail on the head right there. Apple Store employees are likely employees because Apple Stores are a major part of Apple's business. Apple hires hoards of…

I have mixed feelings about this as someone who has worked as a contractor at a FAANG company. On the one hand, many of the complaints are absolutely correct. Where I worked contra…

This seems like a reach, especially considering I don't personally believe the latter point you're making about IQ tests being neutral. I'm not an expert on psychometrics, I think …

Usage of Feynman's official IQ score as some sort of 'proof' of anything is often overused. I don't have the exact citation but it is fairly well documented that he scored well on …
