Most people don’t even know what sideloading is, but more importantly it would kill the value of tik tok because the population would be gone and therefor the audience and the money.
It’s not about optimizing it’s about cash flow. If you get a 500k mortgage today at the current rate of ~7% your monthly payment is about 3500/mo. That same mortgage financed 2 years ago around ~2% is a monthly payment…
When the interest rate goes up that fast existing homeowners are less inclined to sell because their monthly payments will go way up buying a comparable house elsewhere. So you end up reducing supply when it happens so…
I mean, they could do it. But it would be wildly unpopular among that demo.

If you are talented you will have no problem keeping or landing a new job. The people that have trouble maintaining employment are the ones that are not very good. Tech is about as close to a meritocracy as there is in…
You know what I’d listen to is a podcast of just normal founders. I’d love to just hear about people like me, not the 1% on either side.
Blew up last week because they had to sell stock and explain why. Which is what she’s light on their liquidity crunch.
This is true of every tech billionaire. They improved something that already existed. Rarely if ever do they true novel inventors dominate the market because when the market doesn’t exist they have to create it, and…
Managers write novels because employees complain about lack of transparency and communication. I promise you no manager wants to write some novel about how layoffs are good for company, but they just or they get…
If you aren’t a founder or investor then your chances of making significant money at a startup via equity is very limited. You WILL be diluted during every fundraising round and you will be subject to lockout periods.…
Step 1 - turn off all notifications, noise and badges. This will allow you to not be disturbed by interruptions. Step 2 - if step 1 doesn’t work then shut slack down while working. Being reachable 100% of the time is…
Poor performing developers cannot be fixed with a process. This is a management problem. It’s up to the developers manager to properly motivate and course correct flagging devs. Trying to push off HR problems on a…

The cuts are coming from Alexa and e-commerce, right? I didn’t see any ya out AWS… maybe I missed it tho.
I just did this. I had 2 very important things that helped me succeed in starting. 1. A supportive wife 2. A wife that can pay the bills while I take 0 salary to build something. Without those 2 things I wouldn’t have…
An IT dept may pay for it to use as provisioning software?
