You're describing a flophouse and/or SRO. They were slumlord-specials for a long time in the US, but where mostly regulated away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flophouse

Cool tech. As an aside, I HATE the saying "Do, or do not. There is no try." Perhaps the best response I ever heard to this dribble was in the miniseries where piece-of-human-garbage Elizabeth Holmes is played by Amanda Seyfried in

Juicero raised $118.5m, the other shoe was bound to drop. I don't think the current landscape of VC funds actually knows how to spot value even if it sat on their face and called them daddy. They're throwing darts at a board, basi

Google looked at how sailors share space on a sub and were like "yeah, that's the ticket". Hot-desking is the worst way to be in-office, on top of the worst way of working which is in-office. What happened to being a forward

All software, frameworks, etc is a reflection of the creature that created it: a Human, with all our faults, affectations, and prejudices. A lucky few have a come to Jesus moment and realize that nothing is perfect and that fighting the tid

This reeks of "Morgan Stanley VP's angry that it costs more to lease their Chris Craft, therefore we must tank the economy". The plain fact remains that corporations are price gouging the shit out of people right now, which i

People who do great work in the past will typically do great work in the future. It's called "being a high performer", and someone who establishes a good track record of being a high performer will provide more value in the f

This is why I never go "above and beyond" anymore. Companies only care what you did for them yesterday and will drop you like a bad habit because it'll make their stock price go up by 0.000000001% Have a bad day? Fuck you, yo

Don't bother. I knew this guy from Solo and to say he's a company simp is putting it mildly.

I stopped following Gergely Orosz a long time ago. His tech stuff has/had been pretty great, but he's always simping for corporate tech to the point of obsequiousness and it's a huge turn off for me to read any of his stuff.

I'd venture to say a lot of companies based in 2nd/3rd tier locations simply did the math of hiring freelancers vs opening an office in those 1st tier locations and it was cheaper just to pay the remote workers. It's almost a

Yeah I'm sure Altamn can't see the problem with commuting. He only has a luxury condo in Russian Hill that he gets picked up from in a chauffeured SUV, and is then driven to OpenAI's headquarters in the Mission. All of 20 min

My old boss got written up in the local business journal's "40 under 40". To say that she's a miserable ass of a charlatan who made my work life (and pretty much anyone she's encountered) hell, this comment jives.

I can't wait until you get laid-off/fired unjustly. I had this same attitude until I got laid off even though I was a high-performer (4/5 and 5/5 on all my bi-yearly reviews). Now, I'm in it for me and only me. Fuck
