All the salary negotiation tips can be reduced to this: You have to have a better alternative. That means doing getting multiple offers within the same time period before you accep…

Or perhaps the most reckless drivers are going to be the ones still driving normally because they're not going to listen to the government.

Thanks for sharing. I've also come to realize lately how important the process of reflection is. Without it, there's just doing but it's really the reflection process where you lea…

I was very positive on Roam early on. I actually signed up for the Believer plan. I've since switched to Obsidian though. I was finding that Roam became very slow and laggy once do…

Is building a priority queue a common task that senior engineers would be required to do if they got the job?

A mediocre person may also be threatened by someone they see as being more talented. They will fight against having that person on their team with them because it makes them look w…

When I moved to SF and saw signs for Zuckerberg SF General Hospital, I thought to myself "Surely, that must be just a coincidence and it's not named after Mark Zuckerberg." I was w…

100% agree. The only free society is a society of 1.

TTP is capitalism at its finest. Let's make the normal process so terrible so that we can charge extra for people to be treated normally. And then you have services like Clear whic…

Yeah that's interesting. I thought nearly all of Mozilla's revenue came from Google to default to their search engine. I wonder if COVID is just an excuse to do this now. Edit: Ano…

There's no reason why you can't be an employee but also be in control of your own hours. It's not much different from a part-time job that I had while going to school. I'd provide …

I swear this happened to me with Grubhub. I had a problem with my order and used their chat. After I wrote my problem the agent replied with a standard answer and then immediately:…

I listened to "The Rabbit Hole" podcast series this past weekend produced by the NY Times. They actually interviewed YouTube's CEO about this and they have realized that and have m…

The documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad" might be interesting to you. It's pretty cheaply made but it's about this very topic and offers some hope of how they got him to change…

Yeah I hear you. I've struggled with the exact same problem. The stress doesn't help and often times I've figured out the answer just 5 or 10 minutes after the interview was done. …

Keep going. You only need to pass once. :) I'm kind of in the same boat. I failed all my interviews as well and I have about the same amount of experience as you. I agree that gett…
