Is he really? The title is so mis-leading. Coach of SV - Bill Campbell. Yoda of SV - Knuth? Not really. Knuth is more like the Yoda of CS. What is SV really? He is so far away from all the SV excesses - greed is good, VC shenanigans, found

I always wondered about single individuals having an out-sized impact in tech. It is usually system/teams which make things happen. I am skeptical when one person is given most of the credit, and ignore all nameless minions who toil lo

Can someone comment on what the official police report said and how it differs from the private report? If you can provide references that will help too. My search abilities failed me to get a succinct answer.

I will always remember him as the guy who would willingly collude with other mentees of Bill Campbell to not hire engineers from each others companies. Willingly trying to keep the salaries of engineers low is pure evil. They even tried to

Is there design/architecture doc for Cadence. Wanted to learn the design goals, non-goals, alternatives considered, trade-offs made for building a system like Cadence.

Age discrimination for older software engineers is real. It gets enforced in subtle ways. It is up or out culture at the end. Age discrimination doesn't get the same coverage as gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination. I wish

That Google is no different from all other companies in the valley as the values the company espouses are just fluff when rubber meets the road. Executives are exempt or excused. Different standards for execs compared to rank-and-file. Goog

Is Page still actively involved in Google? With the walkouts, and anger at Google's top level management for paying hush money to Andy, does he still have credibility with employees? Will they follow this leader? Will they consider him

For a long time, I don't think they even had a formal paternal leave policy or only had a just a couple of weeks for Dads. They are definitely a late mover in this area. They had to be shamed (Infamous NYTimes article, peers bragging t

I don't see anyone above Staff level or many product/marketing/sales people in the signed letter. Are staff+ engineers, manageres and non-engineers at Google mostly supportive of Dragonfly?

This title is so misleading - Google sacked 40 employees over a period of two years.

Is David expecting Acton to show gratitude that Facebook bestowed him billions of dollars? Did Facebook do charity or was it doing business purchasing WhatsApp? If you believe in markets, then Facebook purchased WhatsApp by paying what they

These are not rumors. Multiple news sources reported the misconduct and Andy had to take a leave of absence from Essential. Andy would have hired a stellar law firm to protect his reputation against defamation, if there was no truth to this

No one really knows why he left Google. Was he forced to leave silently with support for good optics around his departure by Google or he just left abruptly dropping everything he built till then on his own volition. Execs like him just don

some incoherent ramblings... I would be curious to see the list of employees who quit for this purpose. They are making a statement. They might as well publicly disclose their identities to inspire more people. Also, wondering. Are most of

Walmart was forced to pay $15 Billion by Amazon, I think. Amazon-India is already a force to reckon with in India. They have a ton of customer love in India, and they are killing it. There is no reason for them to buy Flipkart. They did the

This response from Tesla comes across as cold and shows no empathy to the victim's family. "We are very sorry for the family's loss" sounds so hollow after reading the rest of the statement. Does Tesla needs to give such

The title is click-baity. He took leave of absence from the current company Essential because reports of an in-appropriate relationship at Google surfaced publicly? Leaders and board at Essential seem to be aware of his relationship at Goog

Interesting that branding is not important/creatively skirted when negative news is involved. Doesn't come as a surprise. Wondering, if this is intentional. Difficult to imagine that the company is spoon feeding an NY times report

This is only way VC firms can be motivated to actively punish the bad actors. Unless, it hurts their dealflow, they are not incentivized to act. Pledges and warnings' only go so far.

I am assuming the access to this list will be tightly guarded. So the only way to protect the women of the valley from these VCs is by having a partner friend at YC who will look up the list for you and give yay/nay answers?

I have built quite a bit of karma on this account and using it as my default id now. Also, what matters is the value of ideas not who it is coming from - right? :)
