A few months back, I launched a side project that builds a professional profile from your daily todo list (www.komplish.com). The idea is you can use it to track side projects and even your tasks at work, and build a profile from that to help you find work. You can also find others through the app for smaller jobs that may not be big enough for a full time job posting. I’d love it if anyone wanted to give it a try and let me know your thoughts! Hopefully it can be helpful to some!
It's always a good idea to be skeptical of someone making claims you need lots of capital to rapidly scale your business when that person is selling capital for a living.
I really wish discussions about how regulations protect the consumer didn’t start with the assumption that there was no better option than government regulation to afford that same protection.
It's not easy to see in the moment, and sometimes an individual's options are limited (though this seems rare for senior devs), but why would anyone want to continue to create value for someone who holds biases against them that are hidden as not being a 'cultural fit'?
At one point, there was talk of the industry moving to a pay per hour of horsepower model or something similar where you are basically paying for guaranteed uptime. I don't know if there is still an effort to move towards that or not, but that would change this discussion quite a bit.
Each additional round only requires additional fees if the examiner’s actions were proper. If the applicant can argue they weren’t, then they don’t pay.
That's partially because job postings are an SEO play, so that long list of requirements is more about trying to get as many eyeballs as possible on the page. Job postings used to be as short as possible because you were paying per line in the newspaper. Search engines changed that.
I only see forecast errors for hurricanes listed as the cited data. Maybe I missed the other cited sources for data measuring forecast accuracy, but hurricane forecast accuracy, which is a storm that covers hundreds of square kilometers, doesn't seem like enough data to justify making the general claim 'modern weather forecasts' are stunningly accurate.
There is....there are investors who don't require 100x returns. It's just harder to find them, they're usually more risk averse, and you'll need a way to return their money that doesn't necessarily include an IPO.
That’s partially because the freedom gained from tech is oftentimes invisible or taken for granted. The same goes for political freedoms. Try moving backwards, and it becomes obvious how much has been gained.
