You're free to ask people who come in to interview at your company, "why did you leave your last job?" and apply your own judgement.

Or if you truly want to help improve Github, you should join them! :-)

> On Monday, a judge set bail at $100,000 for Robert Malsch, accused of drinking and of driving more than 100 mph before rear-ending a car and killing the driver inside.

Code review could have been another set of eyes to predict the problem of reusing a flag.

Redundant/distributed/crowd-sourced diagnoses? Instead of a single radiologist, fan it out to many.

> If you are offered little equity as compared to the founders, don't join.

There is no "if". Employee equity is always a small fraction of founders'. This won't change until people realize the discrepancy, or demand more equity at early stage startups.

> there was at least one TRON arcade game... that had a totally different concept and which is now mostly deservedly forgotten

I can barely express how amazing and influential Discs of Tron was to me as a kid. The concept, the animation, the black light... totally captured my imagination right when I was first learning BASIC on TRS-Model III and C64.

Civilian, you probably signed an agreement with Google to not disclose information about their internal operations, as you're doing here and below.

P(startup) = c * P(pivot), for some constant c

The 3 second audio loop while loading from disk is seared into my brain!

"Woman with bangs." I cringe any time I see a writeup of a female engineer or executive where attention is drawn to her hairstyle, clothes, or shoes. It's unnecessary and undignified.

Any suggestions for smaller codebases? A lot of these are great and you'll pick up idioms here and there, but they're massive.

Is there a follow-up poll showing that it's "decidedly a positive change"? :-)
