companies with lots of funding have a way about choking their more frugal competitors. they poach the top talent, they take up all the hype in the space, grab the top customers/partners first...

and investors simultaneously kill competition by honest companies...'you have a 10 year roadmap to do X? not interesting. i'll invest $100m in this company that says they can do 10X in one year!'

I think its more important to consider who startups should NOT hire and give large 'management' roles to. Namely middle managers who come from large bureaucratic, declining public companies.

they bring in all the baggage that startups are supposedly supposed to operate without.

of course there are exceptions (the individual is creative, very high IQ etc)...but if your sole reason for hiring them is 'oh they were the senior director of x at [fortune 500 company]'...just no.

One of the things i use to evaluate a company's legitimacy and ability to succeed is their ability to be a thought leader through content marketing and influencing. Not just blogging...but a mix of blogging, youtube videos/tutorials, meetups etc...and above all else actually be an influencer with that content. meaning lots of people subscribe and share that stuff.

That being said, blogging is just a medium to show the world what you know and how good you are at teaching others as well. If you don't know anything and don't have anything valuable to share, then your blog will probably be a 'waste of time'.

Does skype allow this? I can barely find new conversations in skype let alone look for old ones.

I'm surprised this isn't covered more, but this talk of boosting 'affordable', actually government subsidized housing as a solution doesn't seem like an actual solution to me either.

how many middle class families are going to register with a government entity, stay under low yearly income limits to 'qualify' for affordable housing? number of kids you have in your family is factored in as well...becoming a metric that factors into your qualification for housing.

seems sort of orwellian to me. we should be creating bills to expedite all housing. not just subsidized housing.

Yes. It's the roundabout on Otis st in mission bay.

Just personally I'll never use Apple Maps because their customer/developer support suck.

I've filed numerous tickets on one intersection that's been closed for 2.5 years in Downtown San Francisco of all places. Yet Apple Maps still routes uber drivers through there forcing them to do a 10 minute roundabout. When they pick me up I again have to direct them not to follow Apple Maps. I don't know why they persistently decide to not fix it, but that headache has made me assume Apple Maps doesn't really give a crap about customer satisfaction therefore their other features will probably suck too.

Is this supposed to be a replacement for using PINTOS to build an OS in C? I remember the PINTOS projects as one of the most rewarding things I worked on in my college career.

I wonder if this could backfire by having neighborhoods in urban areas being opposed to transit improvements to avoid being labeled a 'transit rich' area.

SF does not have nearly the subway line coverage it needs to adequately serve the city (e.g. takes 40 minutes to take the bus to downtown from the marina).

Music was my passion before I went to college for CS and pursued software engineering and eventually product management. For some reason I all but completely abandoned music while focussing on becoming a software developer...

this year I decided to launch my own solo music project, recording and producing a 5 song EP on Logic Pro. It was fun blending my 'engineering' chops with my music as i dusted off my songwriting/piano/guitar skills.

I've been following the project closely (as you can see from my links dating back to 2007) so I am aware. I just think that was an after-thought to salvage some portion of the project.

I'm not sure what earthquake standards has to do with the aesthetic of the building. The main thing they need to do is drill 200 ft below surface into bedrock.

The competing design had a similar shape/weight distribution but was much more beautiful and unique:

The competing design for transbay (salesforce) tower was much nicer but their group didn't win because they bid less money on the project. [0]

I just hate the design of salesforce tower. it's a recycled take at the architects same building in Hong Kong and Santiago[0,1]. Not sure why you would make such a landmark, dominant building look so unoriginal and unremarkable.

I whole heartedly agree with this along and this seems to be confirmed by PG's essay on painting[0].

For me music seems to be a natural hobby and creative outlet. I see a lot of overlap between coding and writing/making music. At its core, both use code and abstractions into something that humans can enjoy.

And now I find my software engineering skills being directly applicable to making electronic music as well. Making music gives me a fresh outlook on working in tech and making products.

Anyways, that was a personal rant.

This isn't a trick question. Staring at a screen consuming mindless content...whether its from entertainment companies or your friends...is bad. Bad compared to exercising, studying, taking a walk, being out with friends.

Is it worse than being stuck on the couch watching TV? I'm sure you can argue both ways, but I would say its about the same.

> But it does seem that this quote demonstrates a tendency I see among female advocates of women in tech, and that is to slightly awkwardly use technical terms in order to try to prove that they are part of the "in group" of people who understand technical concepts.

That has nothing to do with being a female advocate of women in tech. That has everything to do with being 12 weeks into programming. That's the main reason I don't like this article.

I'm lucky enough to know a lot of incredible software engineers who happen to be women (and were also CS grads or PhDs), much smarter than me, and I don't like this attempt to associate all women engineers with people who clearly only have a superficial understanding of code.

there's no way those boot camp programs spend 10-12 hours a day on data structures and algorithms. that's hyperbole. they need to give their students vocational education on how to build web or mobile apps...how could they spend 100% of the time on algorithms?

i was going to make a similar comment but this sums it up very well.

CS papers work best when dealing with very specific, nitty gritty areas that require research after defining a hypothesis or problem to solve.

'Software architecture' is fairly broad and papers on those topics would read more like sociology papers than CS papers (e.g. how do people write code? here are some examples, here are some general patterns people like etc).

Looking back on reading that sort of stuff, it was nice but I very rarely apply it in day to day software development compared to readings that are more niche to the problem I'm solving that week.

ad buyers are also consumers.

Thanks just fixed it!

This seems to be a trend that I see across open source projects. They blog about features that Oracle has had for 25 years as if it's something new. Can someone enlighten me as to why there's interest around X DB's implementation of something that's been built dozens of times before?

The most expensive part of subway construction - both time and cost - is building the stations...which get significantly more expensive the lower they are underground.

Also modern subway tunnels are typically constructed with a larger diameter than what the Boring company supports.

How did MongoDB go to market differently than the other enterprise NoSQL DBs (MarkLogic, DataStax)?

Its pretty disappointing that transit advocacy groups spend more time fighting ride-share and jitney transit services than actually working to improve transit in their cities.

Instead of looking for solutions to making faster, cleaner, more reliable transit more feasible, they're blaming riders and ride-share companies for a 5% reduction in ridership.
