My favourite right now is Looker. Dashboards are beautiful and ad hoc query creation is dead simple and on point. You will save yourself many "oh could you re-run this data but split it out by device type?" moments because your cl

I think this landing page design is great. First glance shows: - their tagline and what they do "$0 commission stock brokerage" - why I should sign up "stop paying $10 for every trade" - clear call to action "get ea

For the record I thought it was a terrible movie and ripe with inconsistency compared to the real thing, but I can only assume the director and writers took to creative license in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience.

You formed an opinion about my post and my experience in around 5 minutes. Does this mean your opinion about my opinion is almost certainly wrong as well? Snide comments aside, thanks for reading!

I don't see your point - in more ways than one. I'm not sure why you feel it necessary to be a cynic. I don't see why there is a reason to etch the flaws out in everything. I could caveat everything I say but what would be th

It certainly comes to no surprise to anybody that a company as large as Google will have mixups in their hiring/recruiting process. Often one arm of the organization does not know what the other is doing, although I am sure Google is c

I actually spent most of my time in the San Bruno office, which is where YouTube's team mostly sits, but occasionally ventured to the SFO office and the MTV offices. I've heard great things about the New York offices as well as th

At this point I consider Calico to be a part of Google (although separately incorporated). Not sure about you but I definitely see "extending the average life expectancy of the human population" as a difficult problem. But even di

Thanks Dewitt! I had a feeling that my lack of tenure was going to be a point of contention, so having someone with as much experience as you backing the story certainly helps!

Hey Greenyoda, Certainly correct, although I have worked at a number of other companies (an investment bank, Microsoft, a startup, and in management consulting) so I was using those as benchmarks. Thanks for reading!

Sick post, brah-ski. In all seriousness, great work here. I especially like the point you make about not fighting back. Too often the HN hivemind will try to take someone down just for submitting something opinionated ("Why would I lea

You might want to fix the glaring typo "Re:Inveting email" at the top of the page. As someone aptly mentioned though, the problem is you are just redesigning the email inbox and giving it some quick reply buttons (ala the Gmail canned respo

I'm surprised the bottlers didn't try to bottle different sizes and charge pricing differences on the larger bottles that Coke wasn't advertising for. Maybe this would have cut into their distribution/packaging costs though since the bottle
