> I'm a serial startup CTO Is that a bad thing or a good thing? Like, have all your previous places closed, exited, what?

Is that course actually useful? Watching a lot of Gary V's vlogs and ask shows makes it seem like he only puts that out for people who are clueless. Is it Social Media for Dummies or is it actual discussion of strategies?

>And to make things even more confusing, our engineers were all using the dogfooding version of Asana, which runs on different AWS-EC2 instances than the production version ... That kind of defeats the purpose of "dogfooding".

I just don't think value is only delivered over a 10 year period. It should take a decade (or 7 years) to get your initial 'reward'. It doesn't make sense to be locked into something for a decade that may not even be the

Oh god. I think insane vesting schedules are terrible. Let's not make 10-year vesting schedules. https://zachholman.com/posts/the-new-10-year-vesting-schedul...

I guess it makes sense that if you object to having nearly, if not completely, equal equity splits, you shouldn't work together. If you aren't willing to give significant equity, they either aren't valuable enough or you don&

I don't think they meant brand risk to Stripe. Credit card companies don't like "immoral" businesses and refuse to do business with them. There are quite a few stories about porn stars having their credit cards closed ju

Eh, we just don't talk about it. My fiance works in a t-shirt printing shop and I work as a developer. I enjoy hearing about his work, he enjoys hearing about mine but we know neither of us could do what the other does.

If your purview of mental health starts and stops at ADD/ADHD, you aren't really qualified to write off all of psychology.

Yeah... like I like this idea. I just don't know how sustainable it is. I am decent with money (Almost 0 debt, almost 1 month of expenses, etc) but I don't really feel like living in self-inflicted poverty. I have done it before a

Definitely. The "worst case" is just walk away from my lease and move in with in-laws.

>You should save until you have at least two years It is a little late to be doing this. I have pretty bare-bones expenses (Fine, my apartment is 40% of my income) but I would struggle to save 24-months of expenses any time soon. Unless

I don't see how someone can rationalize that someone making $100k should have to have roommates. I am not saying they need more money, but I don't understand how we have gotten to the point of chiding people making six-figures lik

First off, I agree. I agree that everyone who continually says "programming" is dying and in 5 - 10 years, "AI" will be writing code (or whatever else they can dream up) have no idea what they are taking about. Programmi

Pretty sure Singapore gives the death penalty to drug dealers. Maybe even drug users, but I do know at some point the minimum punishment for any drug dealing was death.

True, Operation Paperclip wasn't exactly the, uh, most optional thing from what I understand.

I don't think they failed as much as they were never meant to succeed. There are just so many places where the military could've outright "taken out" Erdogan but didn't (such as when the "coup" had two jet

Went back and re-read it, the entire first section is a lot of overly complex babble. The rest of it is much better.

A lot of them. It came across more like the author was trying to show off their vocab than explain a point. For example: >Any large and alienating infrastructure controlled by a technocratic elite is bound to provoke. In particular, it w

Calm down with the $5 words. It isn't that I am stupid but it makes for a really annoying read when I am having to think more about the words than the meaning. I shouldn't have to re-read this article like it is a research paper j

Ha! You are actually the person I got in contact with when I complained to the help email. You were very helpful! I am looking forward to having access to more banks! (If that is in the plan)

No way! Thank you so much for the response! Complaining on the internet finally worked! :) I definitely hold nothing against Stripe, I still love you guys.

I still probably will stick with Ubuntu as my main system. I have Windows 10 installed on a separate drive for when I want to play games but even then, I have to cater to Windows. Make sure to save constantly because sometimes Windows decid

Windows is a nightmare when it comes to nodejs and pip. I ended up abandoning Windows when I was playing on my Mac and basically got things working instantly while I struggled to get the right incantations / pile of dev tools to do wha

I like where Plaid is going but it bothered me that they are coy about their pricing. Typically when a company refuses to say their price or says "Contact Us", that means "Prepare your wallets". With that said, very econ
