Generally that high rent is an opportunity cost. Saving 3k/month by living in rural Wyoming instead of NYC when you’re in your 20s is not desirable unless you want to be a really sad person with no friends.

I’m still happy people are writing about these things and that’s making conversations happening. What he described could happen to anyone at any level.

I hear you but in this situation what else can be done other than marching forward with self reliance and accepting the circumstances?

I wasn’t doubting on existence of a research team like that. I was doubting on the research mentioned. You cannot just say people who use a particular tool (like git or git5) are less productive. That’s just absurd.

You have to be bluffing. I never heard of such internal research. How is even productivity measured in a context like this?

It doesn't work that way. Silicon Valley is flooded with wanna-bes. So even if you're cash strapped you can still hire. Madison WI isn't. For the same reason it's easier to hire an actor in LA.

If you're supposed to be a professional software engineer and can't do fizzbuzz under pressure that's same as saying you're a professional soccer player but you can't tie your shoe under pressure. That bar is so lo

If two PHP developer and a community person launches a social network, can we actually call it a Facebook rival? It's lightyears away from feature parity.

He actually didn't gross $92k. That's not only unrealized stock options, it also assumes he'd stay in Facebook for next 3 years. He actually grossed 1/4th of that, given he stays in Facebook till end of first year.

Which article was it?

Robinhood reported 19.53 as the opening price. I noticed Google also reported it as 18.

by rak00n 7y ago

> "They don't care, because it's a numbers game to them." This sounds so similar to all other large tech companies, specially Google. Somewhere along the line all these tech companies lost user focus.
