Couple points to follow up. - US based business, Boston. Taxes are higher, rent is higher (when you needed rent). Salaries are higher (if you want good people). As the founder, I wanted my company to have great benefits and healthcare. Th

This is otherwise known as a "lifestyle business". It's the north star for most people and should be but it's not easy. If you build a $500K a year SaaS business and have very little overhead, you can probably take $200K

Authors bio is exactly what is wrong with software development today. Too many people who've made money at FANG companies who now think they are experts in the field because they got lucky and was hired at a time when their stock price

I would point to Jim Jordan and all the other Republicans after January 6th who didn't honor a subpoena and toss them in the trash. Nobody in our government honors them, why should we in the private sector? What's going to happen,

Meh. I won't switch to a Linux laptop until I can get a reasonable resolution on the screen that matches my MBP's output for a reasonable price. I can't understand why I can't get a reasonably good priced laptop with jus

Unpopular opinion. But starting a business around AI is a bad idea -- it's a tool not a business. AI is the "Object Oriented" of our times. It'll end up being something that will be used in our tooling, but I recall al

Major colleges are an absolute ripoff. If I asked you to give me $250K so that I could give you an $80K salary to start, which isn't a given, would you take that investment? Community and state schools (and even state schools are too

Docker has made most mocking nonsensical considering how easy it is now to use the real thing... But I would disagree with the premise of mocking as being non-starter. Often times you want to unit test and don't really care if you&#x27

as soon as he went all "the managers", i knew he'd been poorly educated around Scrum. The funny think about Scrum is that upper management doesn't like it. They'd rather operate in a waterfall approach because the

I came from the company that virtually invented Scrum (Easel Corp / Jeff Sutherland) -- showing my age now, I assure you -- it wasn't invented to give non-technical people the power over developers. In fact, it was quite the oppo

IMHO, No it's not. This isn't Dropbox or FTP. Conceptually, some of thing things Git does is are not easy concepts to distill into a couple commands to achieve what Git sets out to do. Sure, you can use it in a basic way, but th

Someone needs to explain to me what the benefits of NoSQL with MongoDB are when you have the JSONB column type and the ability to query and insert at the field level with JSON in PostgreSQL? Maybe there's some benefit, but I'm no

Not naming the company, but I know of a startup that's got a round of $10M (not much but enough) who just applied for relief because their burn rate is $200K+ a month. They have no customers, have been in the red for 2 years and have b

Article headline is really incorrect, should be "The Most Unremarkable Mysterious Song on the Internet." There's a reason why people didn't put their name on it.

I wouldn't want to work for a company that frowned upon a gap in work experience based on a medical issue. If the topic comes up, tell the truth. If they balk, you should run fast and hard from that company.
