I wonder if this is a misunderstanding on accountability. The demo days hold people accountable to others AND themselves. There is a general movement to eschew accountability which is a huge mistake because this concept is critical in conti

Slower != better There are times to go fast and take on a little debt vs going slow and getting it right. It's often hard to know the right time to apply the right strategy. I would like to believe that's what experience gives us.

what if the push to work 4 days instead of 5, and less hours in a day, and the wedge being driven between the founders and the proletariat is the result of a psi-ops from Russia and China to hobble the US from the inside. Convince the curre

fabricated outrage. There is no reason why a "go for it" startup wouldn't be honest about the hours they want to get out of employees. You don't have to work here. It's not always a conspiracy.

at will, exempt employee. no overtime. There is generally no cap on the number of hours an employee can legally work in a day. Employer can ask for just about any hours, and you can quit if you don't like it.

There is way less team loyalty. Teams are not geographical, so no physical attachment. Teams change players too much for me to become a fan and buy their merch.

I find the UX horrible for different reasons, ones that I believe are pretty easy for microsoft to address if they just watched someone like me use the product. I have not experienced the brittleness, maybe what I am doing is more trivial.

It was not meant to be a humble brag, sorry if it came off that way.

thank you for pointing this out! Microsoft is so vast in its offerings, sometimes you can't even find the thing you believe must exist.

this is a good discussion: http://www.northwestsourdough.com/experiments-with-autolyse-... the answer, as usual with baking, is it depends. Salt definitely changes the chemistry. Salt mostly stabilizes the gluten structure

I forgot to add, if you have the oven capable of 900 degrees, you are best to use a 00 flour, like Antimo Caputo. I mix Antimo Caputo (60%) with Giusto's Ultimate Performer (40%)

OOoooO I like your style mister! Let people post their results, correlated with their location and time to pull humidity from the local weather and give them a place to store results and we can crowd source our way to some serious pizza! :P
