When you have the urge to self-destruct, reach out and do something nice for someone else. It can be small, like wishing someone a Merry Christmas, or buying a stranger a coffee. Rinse and repeat as necessary. Also: - Exercise regularly - M

I really enjoy your comments. Would you be open to me reaching out to you? My email is also in my profile, if that’s easier.

Interesting point. My impression is that YC/SV is a lot “sexier”, and that’s why people are drawn to Seibel rather than Greenleaf or French/Raven. The PDF you linked looks incredibly dry; On the other hand the link in this post is

Just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is helpful to have different perspectives on this issue.

I recognize that I am my best self. Even at the worst parts of my life. I stop saying I "should" do this or I "should" do that, and just let life run its course. Not sure if that helps you, but I've been there man.

100% agreed. At the risk of sounding dismissive (not my intention) it doesn’t matter whether you’re a “good” programmer or not. Stop trying to measure yourself or others, get in there and code.

I keep hearing that Google seems to be lacking in the enterprise sales area, but from what I’ve heard, G Suite seems to be doing quite well. What explains that?

This reads like a hit piece. Yuck. The author's previous article is titled "Facebook Betrayed America". Here's a nugget from this one: But what did Sandberg expect when she hired a Republican opposition-research firm

This seems super click-baity. I'm going to draw my own conclusions from the original NYT report.

If it makes you feel better, I seriously doubt a (certified) one will do that. The smart ones realize that hospitalization can really derail your life and make you an even higher suicide risk. Additionally, there is a big difference (in my

Alcoholics Anonymous helps with this for alcoholics. Generally friendships have to be built on some shared interest or experience, so I think it would be hard to create a solution for the general population.

Too many things! Write a compiler, master Angular 2 and TypeScript, learn much more about systems design and scalability. Maybe even some machine learning.

Always glad to see Microsoft stepping up their game :) Not surprised by this, they made it pretty clear at their dev summit that ES6 was a priority.

Just saw the notification on my app this morning. Very unfortunate - I've been using it for as long as I remember, it was my favorite calendar app. Any alternatives?

If you are concerned with outcomes I would strongly recommend not going to HR or an affiliated school. There has been internal conflict about the declining quality of cohorts, and I believe the 97% hiring statistic is no longer accurate. I

Average age I would say is mid to late 20's. I believe the youngest in our cohort was 20, and the oldest was around 40. I think a 31 year old would fit in just fine.

Yes, that's correct. My cohort had a former music teacher go straight to a front-end role at Apple. We also have graduates working at Salesforce, Coursera, a16z, and others - to my knowledge none of these people had prior tech experien

Bootcamp grad here. Honestly, I don't think it really matters what bootcamp you go to. I think the defining factor for getting a job depends on what you did before the bootcamp. If you're a college dropout (like me) don't eve
