Thanks for the detailed response. You certainly have an optimistic way of looking at the situation. My problem is that I'm 32- the way I see it is I have 3-4 more years of going ba…

Currently, I am employed by a "top" tech company in the bay area. Not the very top, but a company that tends to land in the top ~15 range in the various best places to work publica…

Just out of curiousity, which one did you go with? We're in the middle of doing this ourselves and would like to hear a random HNers thoughts on the subject.

This is the quintessential hacker news post, IMO. A topic that on the surface seems run of the mill (a train station) Technical in its essence Authored by someone notable (in this …

The truth is youre more likely to find the skills within a talented team and not individual. Someone with a knack for product AND great engineering chops is extremely rare. Not dis…

Thanks, I did it quickly and thought I'd gotten the whole paragraph. Went ahead and added all of it, there was a page break in between.

Shit could always hit the fan though. I joined Zenefits when everyone had dollar signs in their eyes. It felt like the roaring 20s (or at least the accounts I've heard of them). Ho…

For the lazy: >>> In 2014, 2015, and 2016, we generated $77.8 million, $340.8 million, and $795.4 million in net revenue, respectively, representing growth of 338% from 2014 to 201…

I'm going through this change right now. Some words of hard earned "wisdom": make sure the pendulum doesn't swing too far out in the other direction. I went from being an accommoda…

I'm 32 and work as a PM at a Big Hip Tech Co. in the bay area. Once I was on a team with 2 QA analysts, 1 Eng Manager, myself as PM, 3 BA's (that I did not want), and 3 developers,…

Meh - there are just as many people making the same accusation you are as to render it useless. I read countless anecdotes on HN and hear many more in person of people with just th…

Yes - I agree. If this were a TV ad there'd have to be the word 'Dramatization' in soft white lettering at the bottom of the screen because this is definitely going overboard. I've…

This is such a tired trope in the realm of mental health that it's become cliche. CHOOSE to be happy and you will!!! Embrace change!! What a load of crap, you shouldn't be commenti…

You have no clue how this works and you clearly didn't read the article. It's not about identifying yourself as the victim etc., it's about identifying patterns that you're not eve…

Look, I sincerely appreciate that you took the time to reply, but this advice is a prime example of how some people just don't understand mental health. This sounds an awful lot li…

For sure man, appreciate the words. I've been working on this with a therapist for a long time, it's only now starting to make sense or I am only now starting to internalize it. St…

I hear you man, and that's a good point. It's just a lot easier said than done. I've been working on this stuff for over a year and it's just now starting to sink in, but barely.

Heh. My problem is that I am so damaged that when I become friends or find girls that care for me unconditionally, I devalue that relationship because it feels un-earned. Something…

Ha - yes DOS commands hold a special place in my heart so to speak. The very first "terminal" like thing I learned as a really young kid was how to load a floppy disk, which usuall…

Trains to SF on the Fremont line are already crowded as hell before you even get to Oakland. If you live there and are trying to get to the city, good luck finding a seat, plan to …

This is not true - have to disagree. The touchpad on a mac is not mechanical - you get a uniform "click" no matter where you press. For PC laptops, the touchpads are still mechanic…

Interesting, always nice to have history/a name for a concept.

It's one of the most annoying fallacies I encounter in everyday life: because I fail to see the value in something - surely that something has no value. It's such a narrow minded a…

This doesn't even begin to get into the effects different macronutrients have on you. It's a complicated subject that has reached religion-like levels of zealotry.
