Yes. I’ve worked at a couple of companies now where this has happened. It’s really hard for founders to let go of their “baby” and as such, there’s a lot of rationalization that goes into the decision when they sell the company or go public

I'd still advise and openly admit as a random stranger on the internet you can disregard this, that the Uber code path is much better until you guys scale much much more.

I work for one of the major players in a similar space, and the best advice I can give you is to stay away from delivery because of the capital expenditures (lots of fundraising or massive credit lines) it would take to set up that network.

I can’t imagine the vast majority of their customer base uses Linux, and was likely left out as a fast follow as it isn’t worth being a supported system until they can see it gains traction.

Together, the cheapest plan I could add that would actually give me the shows I watch is around ~$50 additional, so it’s about even. Not taking Prime into account cause I use other prime features more-so

Amazon doesn’t really count as it’s an added benefit of Prime. However, all of those you listed are cheaper than adding cable to my bill. I pay for Netflix, Hulu and YoutubeTV. It’s cheaper than adding cable to my bill & that’s just abs

Yeah, that’s the point I was trying to make. Lots of times Doctors are providing a service and the expectation is “I feel bad, give me some pills to help” when in reality many cases are rest & recover but as a client can you imagine pay

OxyContin isn’t a bad drug, it’s a highly addictive drug and the company knew it was highly addictive & not only didn’t do enough due diligence to make sure prescribers didn’t over prescribe it but also intentionally encourage that beha

There’s literally no risk for them. It’s yet another vertical business that isn’t addicted to the fees and they know you’re going to continue to use them for payment processing so the CAC for a corporate customer at ~$1500 or so is dirt che

100% agree. When I was at my best, I was lifting weights every morning before going to work & it’s super addicting. Fast forward to today after a 7 month grueling project, and I’m exhausted every day so I’m being a scumbag and not going

Super interesting idea and hope it goes well. I’m not sure if it’s just a slew of interviews lately with older individuals or a trend but couple of things to avoid when interviewing that maybe are innocent comments but can def get you label

Yes, this has been the hardest challenge of it all. When I took the role (I’m on the product side, my counterpart is the Engineering lead but we run it together) I made it clear that I’m only taking this role if they let me run the teams th

First off, holy shit. I come back from travel and arguably the least interesting comment I’ve made on a thread in years is the highest upvote one I’ve had lol Now on to your question - We haven’t had any issues here with the HR policies and

This times a hundred thousand percent. I’m battling this hard right now at my workplace, some of my developers live a good 45 min drive from work and that’s just insane to ask them to be in their car for 7.5 hours/week. So what did I d

One could argue that it is a lip service that was say that as a society yet do not work to improve public transit or take the extreme but reliable step to put breathalyzers in all vehicles.

Doesn’t really matter. Moving off Salesforce is a many month project for a small company and possibly years for a larger company depending on the add-ons and everything. Doubt they lose any real customers over this but they’re definitely go

$2 per day plus an additional 7.25% tax from Colorado, plus 2.9% sales tax. This has nothing to do with protecting rental companies and everything to do with states being pissed they aren’t getting their cut.

by brogrammernot 7y ago
Rental car companies have refused to adapt or change their model for many years. They’re built upon antiquated systems with the thought that they could never be touched, and to be blunt I don’t feel much sympathy for them. They’ve been appr

I don’t think it is at all, as long as you realize some co-workers are only work friends and when you or they leave that you won’t really do much of anything together anymore. I was responding to the parent post that seemed to insinuate tha

That’s not even close to fair to put the “family and friends” mentality onto young employees. Tech companies are notorious for baking this into the culture to churn more hours out of employees. The usage of company values, tons of on-site p

Anything on the product side for this by chance? Did sales/solution engineering before but working in a product role in what you described sounds so much fun.

Switching over from KM to your product and love y’all. Looking forward to ideally seeing some interesting product openings.

Kudos to you, this is really badass to see and speaking honestly, once I’ve built up enough of a nest egg the idea of working in the public sector is exciting (outside of trying to find affordable housing in DC lol)

The company I work for still uses Kissmetrics but are navigating away from it. I have to agree that the author misses the point. We’ve used them for almost... 5 years now and I have no idea what the author is referencing as their “fire” pro

I’d rather build something or do a case study (since I’m on the product side now, RIP sweet mechanical keyboard) then walk through white boarding problems. I don’t mind a take home assignment that has a reasonable due date, but they should

Works for TripleByte, doesn’t work for the rest of the companies who do white boarding interviews. You don’t learn how to implement various sort algorithms by hand in boot camps (oh weird, I never had to implement or work with anyone who ha

As others have pointed out, you’re going to get diluted tremendously if they raise another round. When a startup is trying to survive they’ll give up a tremendous amount of equity because the alternative is 80% of nothing or 40% of somethin
