I disagree with the premise. Learning should not be done only as a direct path to getting paid. Learn to create pattern matching and intuition to solve future problems. When you are 17 it is a good time to understand how the world works so

14X at github's scale is unlikely an easy problem to solve. Additionally, there is a strategic reason to be the repository for all code, free, or not which is likely at conflict with reliability goals. (e.g. they could get rid of their

A few questions: 1) How do you know the new place can’t match the counter offer? 2) why do you think the folks who hired you for less than your current salary would not understand sticking at your current job for 25% more and a role change?

It’s been a while since we had sf offices, but back when we did sf had a pretty aggressive additional payroll tax and gross receipts taxes. I’d imagine this is likely a factor in the decision. I know for a while they were waiving some of th

I agree. If you are selling ANY product, customer experience is part of what you are selling. Apple gets this better than practically anyone else. BUT, as a small business owner you are forced to make decisions about where to allocate your

Much of the sf area old money comes from folks selling tools into the gold rush, for example Folgers started serving coffee to miners, Levi’s selling jeans, Wells Fargo.
