I had never seen that cartoon about the "dream job" before, but it's something I've thought about so many times as I've listened to people talk about their dream job or dream employer. It always struck me as strange

Nitpicking but I think a "10 billion dollar business" is not the same thing as a "company valued by investors at 10 billion dollars".

Especially when you look at the majority of startups getting funded or posting in "Who's Hiring" and the descriptions of what they do boils down to.. trying to solve some trivial problem.

Brian Kernighan is the type of nerd that you dream of working with AND having a casual drink with. I wish I had some friends like this (I don't actually know Brian, but have read/listened to a lot of his stuff).

Surely many companies have no idea how to accurately measure "productivity", or simply have no good way to even go about it. If net income is increasing then stop whining about people working from home.

I definitely feel like I'm at a point of no return (to gas engines) after driving a Tesla for a couple of years. I drove a nice gas powered car the other week and the experience was akin to going back to my flip-phone after experiencin

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I find it rare for parents to share the non-glowing reviews, and it's refreshing to hear.

And this expectation is incredibly far fetched. It is betting on the reversal of many, many years of human habit which has become habit for a reason.

I love my model 3, but I'm glad I leased it. The electric motor is awesome, it's a blast to drive, charging is inexpensive and convenient. But the build quality is undeniably poor (for the entry level, base model 3). I've nev

Agreed. People like the idea of getting rich. And if they happen to get rich, they like the idea of getting richer.

I've hardly noticed inflation. Am I in a bubble?

I can't tell if you're being serious? There is nothing about 'Web 3.0', at the least the current implementation, that is designed to serve the masses. The "new system" is purely theoretical and all of the block

This is a snapshot statistic that is rather shallow. The more interesting point is the distribution of wealth in BTC. The majority of "investors" are scrounging to buy a fraction of a single bitcoin, while wealthy VCs, family offi

I wouldn't say that. Kafka is everywhere in the enterprise and it's adoption is still growing rapidly. This blog post is a decent overview for non-technical people at the very least.

Personal anecdote after being a Tesla model 3 owner for a little over a year now: The car feels like a toy. The manufacturing quality is honestly quite poor. The electric motor is truly fantastic - that's the awesome part, and I'm

I think it's still early days in terms of what's been built and what valuable applications have been created, i.e. nothing of note. But it's definitely not early days for investing in tokens - almost all of the top tokens see

Anecdotal but I've been using gmail for ~15 years and I've never heard of anyone (that I personally know) being banned by Google. Seems like a far-fetched scenario for the average person.

True, but Netflix has gotten really good at this over the past 10 years. They create/fund some great content (and a lot of mediocre/bad content) - kind of similar to a VC fund now that I'm writing this out. They're an in

A lot of VC firms just raised huge funds that likely have a ~10yr lifespan, and they're going to need to invest that money, so I think this whole web3 thing could actually last a long time. Retail traders buying fractions of a single b
