Seeing a lot of criticism in here, some valid, some not. Just wanted to say that, to me, this is really well put together - and seems like a lot of thought went into this. Appreciate you releasing this publicly!
Inspired by https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com?
I actually don't disagree with you on this. Can absolutely see how this can create friction, but it's also one of those cases when dealing in absolutes is fraught with peril. A CTO is not a CPO and having strategies being defined - or steered by a singularly technically-minded person can work fine in a lot of scenarios, but for others, it's important to foster a certain level of autonomy for managing, growing and building the product, feature set and roadmap. Same thing in reverse.
There's definitely overlap between the two, but a collaborative approach works better in my opinion. As a disclaimer, I'm a CPO myself - and enjoy the working relationship and collaboration with the CTO, while reporting directly to the CEO and the board. Also, I guess that sometimes it really comes down to the types of personalities that are present in the management team - as well as the type of product being built.
Did you really read the article? Or are you talking in more general terms?
The mother is full on accepting of her son and use it to question her own motives in life. As a parent, I found the read very refreshing.
What are basic things to you?
I feel compelled to answer here, mostly because I've been and to a degree still are where you are.
It's extremely common to gradually move into a state of mind where you denigrate yourself – and the effort you've put forth in life. You need to ensure your own happiness, and no one in here, or anywhere else, can tell you how to do that. Mindfulness is a great tool, because it allows you to become more certain of yourself. To discover what it is that you feel and where it is you need to go.
That being said, here's what works for me: Acknowledging that creation is hard, but that I love creating and helping people around me. That family is important and love even more so. I also remind myself to do something new every day that somehow moves the boundary of what it means to be me.
Added note: A book that also helped me realise my own tendency to create barriers around myself was "The Flinch" by Julien Smith. It's awesome and I highly recommend giving it a read – and practice some of what it champions. I suspect you will gain a lot from it, but then again: Only you can know that.
I find that a lot of companies that refer to themselves as being bearers of startup culture, is mostly trying to cater to younger people or at least a young mindset - not because they're necessarily trying to hide insane working hours or demands. Sometimes it truly is about passion and keeping a "beginner's mind". Definitely not for everyone, but to me it feels very inspiring and empowering.
(I work for 15+ year company that like to view itself as a startup - but the partying is definitely optional)
They're already common along the highways in DK (incl. a few Superchargers)

20% I believe
Because he made short sellers look like idiots? I think not. I just bought more.
You don't usually own the plane that crashed. Unless if you're Elon Musk of course.
I think the community is fine with it, if not outright wishing for it.
Institutional money can add a big boost to crypto, although it in turn provides amble opportunity to control the market. Which they're probably already doing to some extent.
We'll see how it plays out, but I'm pinning my hopes on tokens and networks provided by Ethereum, EOS or similar.
Maybe he knows something you don’t.
Welcome to Denmark.
It sounds like you just made a simple log into something that definitely belongs to the GDPR ruleset!
But that's just my interpretation.
Can anyone, with citation, please shed some light on this. What's fair use, in broad terms, when it comes to simple HTTP logs or similar structures?
You even left a comment on the site writing that. Don't be an asshole.
Mosquitoes are a large food source for birds, especially migratory birds in the northern regions.
Eliminating them would be devastating to Scandinavia's biodiversity.
You're leaving out quasars.
+1 to this statement. Just had extra insulation sprayed into the walls of our 1973 house, and replaced the windows with triple layer thermo glass. The difference it made during summer is remarkable, since the added insulation keeps the house from heating up excessively, while retaining heat during nighttime.
Having just installed massive sliding doors in my home, this was also my first thought.
I was actually disappointed!
And he didn't get to drive one of the cars? I would be flippin' tables and causing all kinds of scenes!
Natural Language Processing is an abstraction? That's quite the statement, considering the recent advances that has been made. I mean, you don't see the value in a computer being able to perceive meaning when you say: "Siri, please dim the lights 40%"?
A computer doesn't need to know how you feel about snow, to tell you that it's snowing outside, and you'll probably want to remember snow chains.
Any rumours as to what this is about? (Don't want to get ahead of myself..)
Wtf. Is this for real?
Furthermore: Could it be due to an automatic process?
You can achieve that with almost any framework.
I don't see why not?
That law hasn't been used once.
It's also the same if you get government benefits. If your wealth exceeds 10.000 DKK, you will have to use your own money to get by, until you run out.
Healthcare in Denmark is just fine in my opinion. We also hold a private insurance through work.
What is it you feel you need to wait for?
Also, in regards to salary: Yes, it's lower overall. But it's still high, especially in the tech sector. I get paid roughly the same as my US counterparts (we have offices in Copenhagen and New York).
She's doesn't hold a permanent visa yet. It needs renewal every year, and after 5 years, she just needs to apply for a permanent one. We were lucky, since I have 3 kids from a previous relationship, so my attachment to Denmark is nonnegotiable. It took 5 months for our family reunification visa to go through.
In regards to your visa in the US, I think you should just wait it out. I doubt it'll get paused overnight, since the business impacts would be too great.
I think the biggest obstacle was for my wife to connect with other Danish women. Basically how to find friends, since social norms and culture is different.
That lasted 6 months, and she now has a big group of friends consisting of expats/danes.
Job opportunities are very good, especially if you work within healthcare, engineering or similar fields. There's a shortage in the workforce for highly qualified workers.
