~(introvert || extrovert). Or perhaps a better definition is that there is no common mutex for introverts and extroverts. Or we're all a little introvert and all a little extrovert. Introverts are powered by…
Also, get a writing sample from them. If the word "I" dominates the single-word histogram, run like hell. (OP fails magnificently).
Close your eyes and picture the last time you saw a clueless chatterbox gabbing on a cell phone. What do you remember? The nails-on-chalkboard voice? The hideous oversharing? Think deeper. Think of the flapping hands…
They say that like it's a bad thing
Sean Parker has as much "wounded private citizen" cred as Mark Zuckerberg's sister who was ousted from Facebook's marketing department and immediately had a meltdown when someone reposted a photo of her from Twitter to…
Calling on the government to monitor and regulate private communications is an odd call to action these days.
If you had to pressure your team to over-deliver against the first under-promise milestone, you completely failed Project Management 101. The point of "under promise, over deliver" is to give your customer a…
For many people, culture and community are a major part of their identity and well-being. Destroy that and you've destroyed a part of them. What does "taking care of" individuals mean when you posit that their entire…
At Microsoft I work with an organization named TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools) which places volunteer software engineers with schools to teach intro computer science & programming classes to…
Ketamine too.
People are fascinated by the trials and tribulations of startup CEOs to the point of romanticism. It's certainly an ambitious and stressful job, but so are the jobs of all the people who are deeply invested in the…
It was totally useful for debugging. In addition to connection speed, you could also tell if your desired protocol was accepted by the computer you called. If it didn't support ZMODEM you could tell immediately by the…
This story is too hot for Safari on iPad. Every time I click the link, it crashes.
This dude knows nothing about cats and crazy. Cats make you crazy by pawing your face all night for attention and sleeping all day because they're tired from being awake until dawn.
Ugh. So many parents in the US believe to the core of their selves that their children are child-emperors, too rare and delicate to suffer the torture of being denied a single whim. Not to get too "get off my lawn", but…
It's awesome that Stanford is offering free versions of their classes and adapting the content to the needs of those students. If Stanford is teaching the same classes with the same adaptations to their core CS…
I try to average somewhere between 7-8 hours of sleep per night. I've pushed myself through phases of about 5 hours/night but it was always a strain, and I got a lot more colds then. Sleep is fun if you do it right.…
Interesting to see how many comments cite supposedly immutable male sexual dynamics as the cause of this phenomenon - like being unable to respond non-erotically to an assertive woman, or even to a woman who is simply…
I got a LinkedIn request to interview for a hedge fund manager position in Boston, mid-market crash. (Me: platform dev & user engagement in Seattle). They're like sharks in water seeking any hint of blood.
Perhaps if the article were more accurate - "Microsoft developer releases side project into the wild" - this would be better received? The Garage is a loose collective of people building things in their spare time. It's…
Apple delivers better value than their competitors in part because they master the supply chain. They buy such a large quantity of parts for their focused product lines, nobody can compete on scale.
Attendance-based grading is the salve a mediocre instructor applies to keep up the appearance that they're creating value for the university.
