That's interesting. What is the input into the process? Don't you need a PRD or a requirement doc to start with?

Peter's principle and whatnot, but I think there is something deeper. The manager positions are designed, by definition of the word, to manage, and the top goal is to extract values from workers. Managers (and product managers in tech

I am of the opinion that `true AI` is the science/engineering of understanding and replicating human intelligence. Why are we able to come up with abstract concepts from the surrounding physical environments? Why do we look at the sta

The AirBnB story about `literally a month from being homeless` is total BS. Both Chesky and Gebbia worked for a few years before starting the company and the other guy went to Harvard.

You can read the comments (and the linked papers) first. This is an advanced algorithm that could take days (or weeks) to fully internalize the details. One can't expect to just read the code and build a mental model of the program in

Don't think there is much rationale behind all these models. It's more like P(would buy a vacuum | bought a vacuum) > P(would buy X | bought a vacuum) where X is a single product. Now P(would buy a vacuum | bought a vacuum) &lt

Be frugal. Don't buy a house unless you have at least 6 months of payments in the bank. Don't buy a car if you need to take a loan. Save as much you can. Build and maintain a strong network outside work (family/friends/p

how would `an iOS app for listening to podcasts focused on social discovery` make money? I couldn't find that question in the interview.

No the idea is that you invest on the real estate with your own money, and invest on start up with LPs' money.

The original word2vec, written in C, could utilize all the cores available. It's actually refreshing to read that code, a true one person shop, hard engineering code :)

So are logic frameworks discovered or invented? Are true/false values discovered or invented? I think the question whether math is discovered or invented is silly. It is both.

That's very childish and lame for Steve Huffman to say "Ellen wasn't the first Reddit engineer, so she probably lacked the expertise to do it, and even if she did, she was smart enough to not". I think this guy needs to

That's exactly the point. No one has ever offered such a document, so say what you want about Trump, he's taking a step towards transparency and accountability.

It's kind of a different software that are being developed these days. Software development used to be highly original, analytical and creative, but now it's like endlessly iterative on the same problems and tools. That explains t

I think you misunderstand the purposes of auditing. They have very strict accounting that they have to follow. There is a degree of "interpretation" on what numbers can be assigned to certain items, but by and large, they just fol

A few takeaways: - Morgan owns a small percentage of Palantir, maybe 20 basic points. However, this is big as Morgan and the big i-banks still have a lot of influence on the big money funds. This will scare the LPs off and VC funding will d

I think you are biased to pick a "micro framework" as a starting point. Because of your experience, you have probably seen all the common patterns in building a web app. As a result, you probably have a solution, or know exactly w

I am not sure I'd agree that Netflix could've been more profitable if they went with their own DC. I think Netflix does not utilize that much hardware. Their streaming is on their own CDN, which I heard that are placed directly in

Yes, I guess the 150 machine is more like a guideline. It depends very much on your workload. If you need 150 beefy machine running at 90%CPU all the time, then yes, running your colo may come out ahead. On the other hand, if you run a syst
