it sounds great, but I didn't mention why I'm leaving. Got laid off because the company is stagnating, been doing lay-offs since before the quarantine. Turns out a kick-ass culture is safer for job security since the market isn&#x

I'm just leaving a company which has been experiencing stagnated growth for a couple of years and everyone I talk to says that the 100% remote strategy has played a role. My company just couldn't figure out how to get momentum or

why do people need to be consumed by the negative all the time? must everybody be an activist? what do you realistically expect people to do besides talk about it online? is this really the place to virtue signal?

Yeah, its just small drama compared to the real damage Google has caused. Its sort of tone deaf to include that in why Google is unethical. The SV bubble.

If this letter would have started with, "I stayed at Google for 15 years even though I knew it was unethical. I'm a piece of shit. BUT I'm going to try and redeem myself..." then it would have been much better. Some ki

My thoughts exactly. I doubt she has fans paying her, it’s just her VC theory that isn’t realistic.

Animals have immune systems too. It’s not a phenomenon unique to humans, as Anthropomorphism would suggest. > they don’t like it Who? HNers? I don’t care. I think it more that people don’t like seeing themselves as the virus or cancer,

>what's hampering Silicon Valley innovation right now is the outrageous cost of living. I wish a “remote hub” concept would become popular. Where you work remote but need to be close enough to come in once a week or for big meetings

I was going to build a mobile web app but I don’t like the way iOS handles button clicks on the bottom of the screen. The first click is ignored and it slides up your bottom menu bar, then you can click the button. You don’t have as much c

One of the reasons why I think 100% distributed, remote team might not be the best. Which is why a middle ground where you work remote but within 1 hour of a “company hub” so you get to see you team a few times a month. Ive been remote for
