Thanks for the insights. FWIW, building your own tools/workflows on top of a standard software typically dramatically increase the lock-in in my experience. It is typically non-trivial to port this functionality to a new system. So it

Comparing re-sale price of Tesla to Ford is absurd. Elon Musk alienated most of Tesla‘s potential customers. I would assume more of the price drop comes from that than from anything inherent about EVs.

You still do from operating the software. You see what problems users have using it, which types of problems they tackle with it. By the end of running the software for a month you will have typically learned a boat load.

Imho opinion, what you are describing are republicans of the past. As parent says, there used to be shared values. Two of the shared valued were peaceful transition of power and respect for the rule of law / division of power between e

If you are based in the US, you should protest this hard. In Germany, they came for the communists first. https://hmd.org.uk/resource/first-they-came-by-pastor-martin...

Afaik that was already the rule 25-30 years ago when Armstrong was cycling. I can remember track and field athletes being banned when they didn‘t show up for surprise tests. So either cycling was more lenient or he got a bonus treatment bec

I sometimes sum this up as: Don‘t listen to your customer. Watch your customer. Obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but seeing how users behave is often more insightful than asking them what they want. You just need to setup t

It is survivorship bias. Because the companies get to a point where unimportant things are important and you spend years in that second phase, the learnings are upside down. „If only we would have solved technical problem X from day 1 we wo

Why? Climate science works with quantative models and makes concrete predictions. So if the predictions don‘t come true the model is false. E.g. this random blog I found googling compares IPCC predictions with actual outcomes: https:/

My experience: Skip most of the talks (maybe only 1-2 per day). Spend time drinking coffee and bumping into random strangers. Then spend more time with people you found nice/interesting.

Thanks. Great post! How would you divide a seed and/or A round between angels and VCs? Is there a perfect mix in your opinion or something you would be opportunistic about, depending on who is interested?

A close relative is an architect. The way construction projects are managed is waterfall. It is made worse by the fact that you typically have 1) a large number of different expert firms involved, creating huge dependencies (imagine instead

The dystopian use case of this is: See the name of someone + how they voted last time. Then you can „engage“ them to convince them of your „truth“.

In the case of food retailers you also need to consider the time on shelf. To take the coffee example. If any average shop buys 4 cases of coffee (24 bags) and on average sells 2 bags per week, then the last bags will sell after 12 weeks. O

Fun fact(1): The German word Kekse is a Germanization of the term "cakes". Although a biscuit isn't exactly a cake :) (1) - At least I think it's funny :)

I have switched industry before and you kind of start from 0. What you are describing doesn't necessarily sound like an issue with the tech sector, but rather that you are a bit burnt out. My suggestion: try to take some time off, eith

You should read the onion pdf. It explains why the safe word would break the linguistic tool of parody. It is the initial/doubt in the readers the kind of „wait what???“-effect that is the essence of the parody.

Read the pdf by the onion. It has examples of the content, which is clearly parody e.g. his post suggested that the police is providing free abortions to teenagers in a mini van. I guess these days the line between parody and nut case is th

I am neither a lawyer, nor tax advisor, but my layman understanding is: If you transfer them (as in, you already own them as a private person and give/sell them to your UG), you will generate a taxable event where you might have to pay

There isn‘t really a correct answer for these type of questions. My best guess is that either this is chance and you just need more interviews or that you are applying for a different stage of company where processes are different. I have i
