Do not blame this on Groupon's US engineering team. This is code from crazeal.com, which Groupon acquired (check the 'was thrown in' part of the exception message). A lot of Groupon's international sites are on different platforms than the

You're basically asking them to be consultants...I don't think they'd be too thrilled to get into the consulting business.

Fake data? Give me a break. Groupon pioneered a new business model. With a new business model you need to account for things in ways they have never been accounted for before. While I'm not arguing their numbers didn't look shady at times,

Rocky Agarwal is far from credible. He made a name for himself by making it his personal goal to bash Groupon as much as possible. Probably because a number of his co-workers at TellMe left to join Groupon and he supposedly wasn't offered a

This has the potential to be a great example of software making a real difference. I'd never heard about nextdoor until a few days ago when my parents of all people told me how great it was and that they had heard on nextdoor of a series of

You'll never comprehend just how good a 10X developer is until you actually work with one. You'll be able to tell they are 10X when you see how much work they get done in short amounts of time. I don't think it has anything to do with "gett

I worked as a consultant for 11 Months right out of college. During that time I launched a side project that got some traction and a little press but didn't really go anywhere. I put it on my resume and started applying to startups in the B

You shouldn't be marketing this towards consumers. If you and your friend had this problem with the apartment gate then I'm sure more people at your apartment have to deal with it also. Why don't you talk to your apartment complex and see i

Not everyone in Silicon Valley is a douche like you seem to believe here. Just because someone lives there doesn't automatically make them a part of the culture or 'detached and not personal', so I don't understand why you're generalizing h

You make a fair point. I guess I'm just a little bitter after reading that article. Over the years I've noticed that a lot of articles being written are just plain assumptions and opinions of the journalist, and not always accurate of what'

What is with all this hate for acqui-hires lately? I was part of an acqui-hire, I've seen it from the other side. I worked my ass off with my fellow employees at a startup here in the valley. We never achieved the scale we needed to be succ

I was part of an acquihire within the last year, so I'll try to explain a few things. Some of these comments are accurate but I wanted to clear things up. Not all acquihires are the same, so my experience is surely different from others, bu

Also, remind me again what your product does and why I'd want to use it. If it's been 6 to 8 weeks then I definitely forgot about your product and have no idea why I was interested in the first place. Remind me.

This isn't just geared towards larger companies with more predictable business models. It's good business no matter what size company you are. Even startups use these marketing techniques. And I'd argue that in a startup, everyone on the te
