Fair point !

I work in health tech and I genuinely believe that this is an endemic problem that can’t be solved by a startup. It is a social issue approaching a health crisis and we need to hav…

Why can’t it be low willpower along with availability of instant cheap calorically rich unsatiating food? In the past even if you had low will power you didn’t have access to cheap…

Many cfo actually have the biz dev unit under them. Google and my current company both have the biz dev unit under the CFO. I also worked for CFO at a mobile telecom and he was act…

Did it seem to anyone else that sticking to Python would have been way easier? It didn’t seem like any of the performance gains were through Golang.

Ok maybe I should clarify that I’m originally from Texas and work in sf so I have some pretty direct experience and know that there is a big economic difference and the salary diff…

I went to a bootcamp and myself along with all of my closest friends at the bootcamp hit that 130K number in SF on total REAL comp.

Ok, your salary estimates for SF are completely off. Let me level set by saying I went to a bootcamp and have two years experience. I make 165K (25% higher than 130) and my 3 close…

No where in the article do they mention how they factor in cost of living into the comparison. As other commenters have pointed out, most studies naively make a linear adjustment; …

The fine is for the stats that were on places like their website. They didn't define the stats clearly on their site.

You should wait till they cross the intersection instead of timing your cross with the pedestrian. You need to yield to the pedestrian as soon as they enter the cross walk - that's…

This is not how most large companies I've worked with operate. Large IT decisions are driven top down, not organically through the engineering front line. The CTO, CIO, etc. work w…

My partner is a doctor who works at one the top medical systems in America. The EHR system she works is atrocious. Last time she asked me to look at it to help figure out how to pr…

It might "feel" sketchier but Oakland's crime rate in some of its nicest areas is on par without SFs rougher areas. Oakland is awesome but the per capita crime (even in areas like …

They probably use delivery services for groceries or don't cook. The point of blue apron was it was an easy way for people intimidated by cooking to start doing it.

I'm really surprised about the physician comment. My gf works in the largest medical system in the Bay Area and her "perks" (discounted cafeteria food) are drastically below what I…

I finished AppAcademy about 2.5 years ago. It took me about 4 months to find a job and I've been working as a full stack engineer since. I mostly work in Java & Typescript (Angular…

My anecodatal experience is they don't because I had friends in South Africa, DRC, and Nigeria who came from more privileged middle class backgrounds and still struggled due to a l…

Can you talk about engineering benefits for working on this team besides "you will get to network with hot startups and stuff"? Maybe a bit more color on the technical challenges /…

As a Bengali, I was hoping for more detail and context here.

If you are on a developer salary this makes no sense

The Bay Area is the most expensive place in the US for no real reason except for regulation. It's kinda like everyone cheering for Uber and Lyft because medallion rules in SF preve…
