Imagine having only ever used Windows as an OS. Then one day someone hands you a Linux machine. You try it for a day or two, but then go back to Windows. And then you wonder why your coworkers keep saying how great…
If it is simple as copying from the government, then why aren't you doing it too? Why not take the existing medicine and resell it to the public for half of what everyone else is charging? You would simultaneously be…
“We’d love to partner with Steve on getting his frameworks and templates from his books – The Four Steps and The Startup Owner’s Manual – onto our product. Can you connect us to him?” That sounds to me like the start of…
I had this happen early on in my career. My entire department was unified and clearly articulated the problems we were facing and how we could improve things. The only result was that our manager was told to get us…

In 1900, the average life expectancy for an American man was 48.3 Today, the average life expectancy for Americans is 78.7

Here are just a few: 1) All day interviews. Seriously, I've had an 8 hour interview. They served me breakfast, lunch and dinner. This was after several other rounds of interviews. 2) Expecting me to perform "free work".…

There is a difference between a "scam" business and a "failed" business. The scam business never had any intent on doing what they promised. The failed business planned on doing something, but for whatever reason, was…
I think it at least debunks the claim that "Lambda School was a scam". It may have a lot of faults, and it may not be the best way to get training, but it's not a scam.
Wait, really? Do you have family? Do you have friends? You don't have anyone to talk to at all??? Join a club. Pick up a new hobby. Join a church. Attend local events. There is probably a hundred things you could do to…
Seems like it actually would delete any tweet containing the word "Lambda". https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WillManidis/GoodbyeLambda/...
I thought they only had to pay if the students actually landed a decent paying job.
What? Web farms are automatically expensive? A web farm can literally be two Raspberry Pis behind a simple load balancer. What if this isn't "my company"? What if I run a web farm at home for fun? Besides, your argument…
I think the best way to hire people would be to do a quick 30 minute "filter" interview, where you basically ask about a person's background. If they can pass that, then sign them up for a 90 day contract. If they prove…
I honestly cannot understand this attitude. It sounds like pure jealousy. You are saying that we should stop people from being too successful. Bezos earned all of his wealth honestly. He offered products and services…
Spending $50 on a work tool that you will use many times a day actually sounds like a great deal to me.
Is there anything Bezos could do at this point that would NOT make you angry?
1) Startups suck. They will work you to death all for the promise that maybe it will pay off one day (but probably won't.) 2) I don't want to work for a "mission-driven" company. What does that even mean? Most companies…
Yeah, I do this every time there is a major OS update and it saves me a lot of hassle. It also forces me to re-evaluate everything I had previously installed. Usually I end up with a much cleaner, smaller, and more…

For a private office and minimal meetings, I'd probably never interview for another job again.
Yes, they could defeat the pihole by hard coding IPs, but that would cause a whole range of other headaches and would most likely not be worth doing.
