The sad fact is that the people best suited to thrive in a context where relationships are transactional and mostly dependent on continued usefulness to both parties - are sociopaths/machiavellian types. And these are…
I ran sales for a start up and as much as I hated these types of questionnaires - it was a huge competitive advantage to have someone who knows their stuff (a founder who wrote most of our code) complete them fast and…
Locally: Contract test (mock provider/consumer) As part of CI/CD: Depending on complexity - basic functional tests against the specific endpoint or end-to-end test of API functions (using mocks when APIs aren't…

There is an episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza tries to get more time in front of a woman he's interested in by leaving his hat in her apartment thinking that even though she doesn't like him - just listening to…
Sales guy here. The way I sell against top tier names is to use attunement to my advantage. Sure the other company has a huge name - but they're not like you and will never be like you; instead they'll expect you to be…

It's possible they would, possible they wouldn't. The point is that if you project things about human intelligence i.e. "but humans like ants so why wouldn't the reverse be true? "or "most humans don't pay attention to…
A better version of that argument might be: "if ants evolved to have higher than human intellect and technology - would they be interested in studying us humans?" I think the answer is far less clear in that scenario.
For many people their smartphone is their only access to internet (and thus bills, emails, and everything else that is more or less essential). The difference between the group of people buying an iphone because they…
