Right. He was "set for life" pre MongoDB even. He was an early investor in Datadog.

I remember the devops guys preaching about this "better culture". They talked about a no-blame culture for one. It resulted in a bunch of virtue signaling where I worked. At the end of the day, the people repeatedly causing ops related problems were canned anyway. They were still blamed of course, just behind closed doors. This "culture" went so far that there was even a company named after it called "Blameless", which fell into the depths of oblivion.

Most VCs have a relatively short timeline to deploy money by or they will be berated by investors for sitting on it. Therein lies the problem.

The biggest ripoffs were the textbooks. Especially the textbooks written by the teachers, themselves, who forced you to buy them.

Please read the actual article instead of blindly responding to the title.

Yeah, and the reason 30 under 30 is a warning sign is because the founders that apply to and agree to do Forbes to do "30 under 30" are much more concerned with marketing than actually building a legitimate product. Legitimate under 30 founders are spending their time actually building instead.

If you are a veteran of software in a big company, we all know there will be weekly or bi-weekly meetings that some PM will set up. All the PM will do is go over the JIRA tickets and be like "is this still happening". Default answer is "no", as in "I didn't even try to reproduce it, do you think I have time to even do it?". Default answer by spineless QA person is also "didn't try it again yet". Then, the PM closes the ticket. It is much easier for QA person to say "Yes I verified it" if you are remote and developer cannot see the lies on your bad poker face.

I once told a female coworker she used my style of syntactic sugar. Later that week, I received a stern email from HR.

The most unethical people I know have taken ethics classes and signal that they did it.

To be honest, it may help for the modern Ferrari driver. It doesn't help for those who appreciate the Ferraris from the '90s and before.

It is ironic that she talks about "the patriarchy" brainwashing people. I have serious doubts that she came up with the thought to blame it on the "patriarchy" herself.

Don't even mention Ecobee. They've done the exact same thing as Google Nest by bricking their older hardware.

One guy at our company once had this brilliant idea as well. Go to a bar and validate the idea with strangers. After all, our business idea was related to sports and they would surely be interested. I thought this was a great idea. All three of us agreed it was. Later that night, in high spirits, we went to the bar to execute our plan. We sat at the bar for two hours and talked to a grand total of zero people because we were all afraid to approach anyone and bother him or her about our frivolous, idiotic idea.

I have a friend who I suspect has resorted to answering me with AI when I ask him a question via text message that he may not know the answer to. Many people do not want to appear to not know things, so they resort to this tactic. I personally find it to be a terrible trend.
