Nietzsche discusses this at length (the author mentions Jung, but Jung borrowed heavily from Nietzsche in this regard)…

Nietzsche believed that the best decisions weren’t the most rationale ones but the ones that were “life furthering.”

However he believed rationality is preferable to idealism. Therefore, best to first deal with reality, learn rationality, then make decisions with your feet on the ground

This is scary for employers and might be the most misguided move California’s made yet. Going to be a “whooshing” sound of companies headed East…

Idealism should not trump rationality; I cannot believe this actually passed into law

There is a worthwhile premise behind the title of this article. Success stories are generally fluff designed to rewrite history and control a desired narrative.

Most the real reasons for success are taboo, boring and too technical to talk about, e.g. "we got massive SEO traffic through user-generated content and 10x'd traffic in 2 months"..

Bitcoin’s “killer app” and underlying utility is illegal transactions. Money laundering and drug purchasing. As long as the government allows it; crypto will have a base value in that.

While some might disagree, many historians associate Petrarch’s rediscovery of Cicero’s letters as the start of the renaissance and the end of the Middle Ages.

I’d recommend anyone study Cicero as he was a sole source for many of the “best practices” stolen from antiquity; his writings are the basis for the US government (for example)

To be fair, most micro service setups and tutorials have been overly complicated; however, let’s agree that distributed workloads and architecture are superior in a number of ways.

Generally, when people discuss going back to the “monolith” they just haven’t found the right distributed architecture.

I think you misunderstood his point.

He's making an observation about religious tendencies and belief systems within groups.

Debates within the Linux ecosystem aren't fundamental challenges to it's ethos

Interesting. The analytics space is definitely evolving quickly.

Personally Im ready for a change with the introduction of GA4 (which I feel is difficult to use) and nearly all other providers costing like $1k+ a month. Will definitely check this out in our next project.

Textmate could do text wrapping better than all the other editors combined. Miss that feature.

This article is garbage, and the believe system behind it is the most dangerous thing to modern society.

Imagine a world where meritocracy is demolished; in favor of 'equality.' Being 'good' or making customers happy doesn't matter anymore.

Can we please unite behind things like hard-work, quality and discipline to fight off this thinking?

If you raise the expectation is you will spend that money in a certain timeframe (thats why you're raising)

Ultimately, the best analogy is baseball. Raising money is like going for home runs, higher chance of striking out.

I agree. To support it, my first company was bootstrapped and did around $10m in revenues but then was ultimately killed by competition and ecosystem issues.

I pocketed most this money (after taxes) ... had I raised money I'd be broke right now...

Crypto is by-and-large only good for illegal transactions; same as BitTorrent is only good for illegal downloads.

Anyone talking about other "applications" doesn't understand the way things currently work.

People with this correct opinion might get censored by the Inquisition but we have only been right so far...
