The range in equity grants can still cause problems. The reality is exposing this information only works against you and limits your ability to negotiate with employees if you know it will be exposed to others. I disagree completely. That b

The cap table can have sensitive information on it that might compromise employees and or investors or the founders themselves. I don’t think being secretive about the exact details of the cap table is indicative of anything. They should be

Most people don’t even know what sideloading is, but more importantly it would kill the value of tik tok because the population would be gone and therefor the audience and the money.

It’s not about optimizing it’s about cash flow. If you get a 500k mortgage today at the current rate of ~7% your monthly payment is about 3500/mo. That same mortgage financed 2 years ago around ~2% is a monthly payment of 1800. For the

When the interest rate goes up that fast existing homeowners are less inclined to sell because their monthly payments will go way up buying a comparable house elsewhere. So you end up reducing supply when it happens so fast and so much.

I mean, they could do it. But it would be wildly unpopular among that demo.

If you are talented you will have no problem keeping or landing a new job. The people that have trouble maintaining employment are the ones that are not very good. Tech is about as close to a meritocracy as there is in the US. There is of c

Well the opposite view isn’t really based on science , only in faulty risk mitigation. So is it riskier to let your kid go without knowing for a long time or is it better to test in a limited controlled window where you can react and adapt

We did the same. My wife was nervous but I’m like, it’s common sense. We did hold off on honey until they were one due to the botulism risk tho.

The idea is you basically just touch their lips with a dab at first, so if there is any sort of reaction it isn’t life threatening. Then you increase a bit, etc.

You know what I’d listen to is a podcast of just normal founders. I’d love to just hear about people like me, not the 1% on either side.

Blew up last week because they had to sell stock and explain why. Which is what she’s light on their liquidity crunch.

This is true of every tech billionaire. They improved something that already existed. Rarely if ever do they true novel inventors dominate the market because when the market doesn’t exist they have to create it, and also they’re inventors n

Managers write novels because employees complain about lack of transparency and communication. I promise you no manager wants to write some novel about how layoffs are good for company, but they just or they get skewered for not communicati

If you aren’t a founder or investor then your chances of making significant money at a startup via equity is very limited. You WILL be diluted during every fundraising round and you will be subject to lockout periods. You may exercise your

Step 1 - turn off all notifications, noise and badges. This will allow you to not be disturbed by interruptions. Step 2 - if step 1 doesn’t work then shut slack down while working. Being reachable 100% of the time is insane. And the barrier

Poor performing developers cannot be fixed with a process. This is a management problem. It’s up to the developers manager to properly motivate and course correct flagging devs. Trying to push off HR problems on a software delivery process

Calendly is nearly ubiquitous when scheduling meetings with people outside your office these days. They’re particularly useful in sales and product. Given the space their in and the market cap they have 3b seems in the ballpark. Of course I

It never clicked for me? It just always made sense. Maybe I’m still meandering around in the pre-click phase though and don’t know. Maybe one day it will click for me!

Meh. Some of this advice is pretty common sense. Some of it a little cut throat. I don’t see anything in here that isn’t in a playbook I’ve seen multiple times, do you?

This is absurd. You don’t get to open the books of the company you are being paid to endorse. Nor should you be allowed to. This is an insane suit and is hopefully thrown out right away. I will say it again, absurd.

It’s an earnest attempt at staying as unbiased as possible. If you go into an interview believing one thing and structuring all of you questions with that supposition you are far more likely to get the answer you want as oppose to whatever

The analogy is apt because war is an existential threat for the nation. Similarly, competition is an existential threat to the business. I don’t think this is about war being cool so much as competition in the market place can kill your bus

Well it’s tricky right? Amazon had huge demand. If they didn’t hire during the pandemic then they can’t meet the demands of their customers. Performance degrades. Packages don’t deliver on time. They run out of stock. Is it preferable to pr
