OMG - ridiculous to evaluate it based on the last 3 mo.

He merged it with SpaceX, quickly created a few colossal datacenters for training runs and somehow turned that into a 3T company.

They are so bad at product

I worked as CTO of two companies for about a year. I tended to work a full day for one company then a full day for the other to lessen the context switching. It was hard work, but it was fun and very beneficial to both organizations. You really do focus on editing (what projects matter, what solutions matter, which candidates do we offer, coaching w 1x1s) which has much more of an impact than IC work. In fact, the only issues I ever had were classic time x resource tradeoffs, since I so little time for IC work.

48 Laws of Power

The Power Broker

History of Western Philosophy

It looks like Gitlab. I wondered if i was on the correct site.

Anecdotally: I'm CTO at a custom apparel manufacturer. Demand plummeted for events and foot traffic at our customer's stores died, so nobody is buying high end suits. Our revenue is now 20% of what it was back in January. We got our PPP loans, so we kept everyone in the USA employed, but had to cut all salaries above $50k by 25%. And we will probably have to have a second round of cuts and have some layoffs in June.

So Neal Stephenson wrote a book about this - at least the good half of the book - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall;_or,_Dodge_in_Hell

It's 20 years in the future where facebook and similar services are much, much worse. Wealthy people pay for editors to remove misinformation from their feeds. And the country gets bifurcated with coastal elites having access to editors and flyover country ("Ameristan") has turned into a conspiracy plagued wasteland.

48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

The information hierarchy is unclear because they did not use best practices in design. As the other commenters said, you have to read it like a book. A better site would have larger, bold headings with darker text than the body text. There would be more padding between the sections. There would be a jumbotron at the top that identifies the top 1-3 reasons for me to use this site, so I can understand in 5 seconds if I want this service and don't have to spend 3 minutes reading the entire text.

Listen to the manager tools podcast.

How often does rails refresh the materialized views? And is it automatic or do you have to explicitly refresh them?

Definitely talk to the founders. Founders probably have no idea you are considering leaving and would be shocked if you leave without voicing your concerns. Founders ALWAYS want to talk with key employees who are considering leaving. You are unlikely to get compensated with what you deserve, but they can definitely create a better working environment for you. Even if things don't work out and you do leave, you'll walk out of things with a good reference and network from the founders because you left on good terms.

To maintain a trademark and fight back infringement you have to repeatedly claim it by putting those annoying symbols after it.

I'm very color blind and I don't think this extension correctly handles red-green color blindness. If you take a look at http://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/ and see their examples of Deuteranopia, they are exactly what I see. When the app shows the Deuteranopia view, I think the extension modifies colors that aren't red and green.

iDesign | Sr Frontend Engineer / Jr Frontend Engineer / Fullstack Engineer | FULL-TIME | Jackson, MS / Remote - US Only | idesignpbp.com

iDesign is a company that makes high end suits and custom clothing for tailors. We're growing fast, planning to have $30M of sales this year, and are building out the engineering team.

We're looking for Frontend Engineers with React experience to work closely with our product designer on a redesign our custom clothing ordering experience.

Started my own company. I know why we're doing things and why they are important. And I know that if I don't do some things they won't get done.

Why are people with PHD and VPE level experience being slotted as junior engineers? It seems like a waste of time to recruit a senior person to a junior role.

I used to not pick tech stocks because of the diversification argument. However, I stopped that and now invest a good bit. Why? People in tech are going to be better at predicting the future than the equity research analysts at investment banks. Have confidence in yourself and make some picks.

For those who have never heard of bonobos, their pants fit exceptionally well. Andy & co focused on doing one thing, having quality pants that fit really well. The fit of the clothing matters more than anything about bonobos and it is where most brands screw up.

Adam, great to see you on HN. I assume you're the same ABS that founded calc.org. I always love seeing people from the TI Calculator community doing well.

The point of a standup is to coordinate team communication in batches and not interrupt people at random times. We always finish it up in less than 15 minutes and then small groups meet afterwards about talking points.

Definitely not. I've got kids and was only able to quit my job and start working full time as CTO of my startup after we raised seed funding. That being said, an A,B, and C round is different. Seed should give you enough runway to see if your initial idea gets product market fit. Future funding is fuel for the rocket ship. It lets you see if you can scale up sales and marketing around the product.

Ahh. I remember doing lots of TI82/83 calculator programming in Z80 and never considering using a C to Z80 compiler since it was so suboptimal. C was considered slow and a memory hog. Most of these (other than the sprite routine) aren't that bad. Every byte counted when you only had 26KB free.
