this article was super valuable to me. clearly not in depth enough to convince a believer to change allegiances, but good enough for the uninitiated.

Is anyone at all surprised their tech-stack is php? is it because of legacy or is it because any sensible person moving petabytes of data would use? or does it even matter

Hopefully this is adding value to those who are calling in. It looks a little self serving Exec marketing stunt. But, good on them!

Good point. the way I was thinking about it was more like this 1- you provide an overall estimate on where you think you could come in at. you do this to give all clarity on how you are thinking about the problem, anchors your estimate and

I agree giving the project owner the appearance of certainty will make him feel safe and comfortable - however it is not good for them. The longer and more complicated the project the more likely your estimate will be wrong. So giving the

Below a few nuggets from what we have observed at GroupTalent: 1- Hire a freelancer based on work performed not on CV. Not only we do this by allowing our teams or single devs creating portfolios (which is privileged information displayed o

starting your day in a creative mindset does frame your day in a different way. Not sure this is panacea, but optimizing for production rather than consumption seems like the right framework. dying to try it!

I disagree. Investment is a two way street. Angels benefit from deal flow as well so making themselves unavailable does seem odd. If they want to invest in early stage ventures but don't have the time there are plenty of other vehicles to

I feel some of this discussion misses the point. To date the best predictor of the future is the past. And the best way to measure the past is by reviewing work done - not a self-declared history of yourself. If Github does not get you the

I actually find it entertaining and fun - specially the bits about history, how they found common vision etc. It was an interesting human take to subject that could be inherently jargon-laden and boring

I am especially fond of the make money from your customer advice - under boot-strapping. Sure there are biz that will make $ in the long term from having large volumes of something, but for the rest of us, charge early!

Agreed with this comments. but I am not sure what is that worth. is not like people spend a lot of time on any of those networks, ie not monetizable, and amount of utility they provide vs. FB is diminishing

This article stroke a cord with me. I actually agree that half the battle is showing up - or be at a place where the people you want to meet show up. One of the issues we are discussing at our current startup is about moving to the valley

Agreed. The article was shallow and unimaginative. I was hoping for some nugget around what makes clever people not realize they are wasting their time at your company and move somewhere where their contributions really matter. but no di

Sleep for sure is good and important, but in a pinch good 20 minutes of cardio will send enough fresh blood to your brain to energize you for the rest of the day and you can still hit the sack hard at the end of it.
