Hello! Author of the article here. Thanks for the comments, and appreciate the discusssion. I'll start off by pointing out that I'm not left wing, and I have an economics degree so my old lecturers would be disappointed if I was s

Author of the article here -- kind of, but the idea here was just to write a piece about a capital-intensive business compared to the couple of capital-light businesses I'd covered in the prior articles I wrote, and how that difference

Author of the article here. That's not what I mean at all. As I said in the article, I love Center Parcs. And I've been on a cruise and spent a ton of money there, and it was totally worth it. The point in here was just that it&#x

But you're assuming all of the content is the same, except for one small change. It's not. Only the headlines are the same. Using your analogy, it's like taking another comedian's premise for a joke -- "a priest and

It's a headline, not a whole article. All the content itself is original. I don't see any problem with this at all.

I think it depends on the individual and what career season you're in -- and what the company wants too. There are companies that are in a strong market position that can kinda just sit there and harvest profits without doing too much,

I hope you're right -- that's one of the reasons I wrote this. Since when is self-awareness a bad thing? I mean, generally speaking the type of people who think this post is a bad idea are the type of people who, when asked in an

Author of the article here -- I think you're right to some extent, but if you can't handle that amount of autonomy, you shouldn't be working in a remote role at a startup. Also, I did a pretty good job of performing just at t

Author of this article here: thanks, that means a lot to me. I completely agree with you -- I'd much rather work with someone who acknowledges and admits their issues, so we can find a way to work around them, or make them non-issues.

You're totally right. You pretty much nailed it. I'm not one of those paranoid/neurotic people at all. Funnily enough, this is why I've been a lot better at freelancing: I get instant feedback from the client if they&#x2

I wrote at the bottom that they helped me write it. I literally showed early drafts of this to the guy that hired and fired me, and he urged me to be even more candid than I was originally. But then again, he has no problem admitting his ow

I don't consider the root cause to be extroversion at all. That's one particular reason why I don't like working at home, but I could (and did) just rent office space to deal with that. The problem is that I'm afraid of

Hey, I wrote this article. Thanks - really glad you liked it. Remote jobs are fantastic for a lot of people, but they're not the be all and end all. Sometimes, they REALLY suck. Especially if you're not an introvert, and need othe

I wrote this article - thanks, your comment means a lot to me. I thought exactly the same. Everyone who writes online is portraying only the best parts, the highlights, without admitting that sometimes, things suck. It's about time we

I'm curious: what issues do you see with being honest about the ways that you failed, and how you're addressing them? I don't think it shows a lack of a filter, I think it shows an honesty and an awareness of my issues, and w

Not even working for a larger company, but working for any company -- including and especially other startups -- would give people invaluable experience that they could then go and use later down the line.

Really good piece. Although it still seems like a bubble to me, but I understand his point about an anti-bubble of talent. There seems to be a "me too" aspect to this, where it's not just that doing a startup has become cool,
