I think you are misinterpreting that advice. I have always heard the full saying as "hire slow, fire fast" and if you are seeking to build a good culture, you probably want to keep turnover reasonable low. Seeing many…
The article is kinda ridiculous, but why are you bringing gender into this discussion? It is irrelevant.
I am in the same boat as you (dropped out after 2 years, then started working full time). I prefer to leave it off my resume because I like to address it myself in conversation (also I know who cares based on who asks),…

My personal experiences are as follows: 1. I was also in a couple of gifted programs in school that didn't do much. They were fun at the time, but I don't really think they helped me develop much personally. 2. I…
I agree with other comments you need to change your wording on the home page. I'm not really sure who you're pitching this to, but if it's to a non-technical crowd you need to simplify it. It would also be great if you…
