    I worked for similar company. And yes, it basically depended on the relationship with the local bank managers and suppliers. Unfortunately, it wasn't so successful.

    Does this really need any evidence? There's lots of businesses that are in this situation, ambling along for years until they run out of runway. Not saying anything about the origi…

    Listen to this advice. I took off the winter and then just jumped back into running in the spring like nothing happened and it has not been fun. Should have started way slower and …

    Are you my colleague? It's fine if it's your own personal app, but please don't do this in a large complex codebase in a team. It's entirely depressing. You can use AI and still wr…

    The point is there are already many millions of Ring cameras installed. Most people aren't just going to rip them out for open source ones.

    My experience in Scotland says different. Unless the Scots don't count. Or maybe they just can't help their accent.

    Brilliant! And this isn't really just about startups. Large companies are operating the exact same way.

    Not really. Whenever I manually edit the code, the next turn will overwrite the changes back. You kinda have to let them know not to do that.

    I understand the consternation here about this change. And I've noticed recently getting frustrated because I'm looking for a search list but the UI throws me into AI mode first. B…

    Googlebook Pixel? Or PixelBook running GooglebookOS?

    I think it's the overexposure to the inside workings of tech that leads a dislike of these brands. As long as Amazon delivers to you the next day and accepts free returns, you're p…

    It's always absolutely shocking using a regular person's computer. How can they live like this? I have lived in this ad-free bubble for so long that I forget that's not the real wo…

    I do agree here. Being a CEO is in fact stressful. I think as someone pointed out, your first problem is you're thinkin 3, 5, 10 years. Unless you're a founder building your compan…

    Lately I’m realizing what an absolute drain imposter syndrome is. I see things like this and I think maybe I could jump three levels up into a completely different department and b…

    And Steve Job's Apple was an ethical company because... he pushed people to produce sleek devices? Which is fine, but then I'd propose that growing the company was ethical because …

    This right here is exactly right. If it hasn't come for you yet, it's coming.

    Not sure this is true anymore. X is now just pay to play. Organic engagement is completely dead there. It's all a virality game now.

    Sadly, it seems to me that history has always chosen b), and I doubt this time it's gonna be different.

    I think the article's central point is that being nice is the bare minimum. In fact, probably less than that. If you needed life-saving surgery, it would be great to have a nice su…

    I believe it. Every summer we buy goat or lamb imported from Australia/New Zealand. It's usually less than $15/lb. Those two countries barely provide any subsidies for their farmer…

    I can understand your frustration, but this is one case where this is such an obvious product decision it would be a criminal for Google to keep meet and chat separate. Perhaps the…

    This is fine. If successful, the next administration can just leverage it for a different kind of agenda. In fact, by the time we know whether it's successful, this admin will like…
