You don’t think map reduce, tensorflow and the countless other systems that have been open sourced haven’t had huge impact outside of their original use cases at these companies?

The scale that these companies operate on requires huge innovations in software engineering and computer science. Think about all the distributed systems that have come out of places like Facebook and Google over the last 2 decades.

The real problem is that we don’t have good examples of leaders. A lot of the examples we look for in terms of whom to emulate comes from the pop culture view of corporate America and startups. At a previous company I worked at far too many

I’m currently doing this as well and for anyone else who is doing this you should continuously share your thoughts and progress on Twitter or your blog or YouTube or whatever. It’s easier to leave a track record and you’ll feel a lot better

I understood religion better after practicing and studying meditation. The backbone of all religions is based on the personal mystical experiences of individuals like Jesus, Mohammad, Budha and many others. They experienced some kind of per

In sports training this is called super compensation. Usually you tax yourself for some period of training and then take a short break. Your body will recover to the initial level of fitness you had + you make some new gains. When your retu

I’m a solo SaaS founder and I’ve built and released several products. I would say just work on one complex product from start to finish. Do this however you can and after that everything will just get easier.

This would be super nice to have when developing mobile apps. I’ve used sqllite when developing with react-native, but can see myself using a mongita type solution.

I think one of the most disturbing things about how people get rich in technology startups today is that they get chosen by rich vcs to become successful. Let’s say there are a few different teams of people working on some promising space t

Because you can scale a technology company much faster with less capital and lower acquisition costs today. A lot of the infrastructure has been built out for internet companies to take advantage of. That’s the point of the article that it

I've worked at Amazon in the past for almost 3 years. You have to put in some initial time investment of 6 - 12 months to learn everything about your job. After that it's not very hard to coast and fly under the radar. I still hav
