Startup lifestyle factor
Lifestyle factors Also factor in the kind of lifestyle that the startup will offer. This heavily depends on the startup’s culture, but don’t ignore that factor. For some people, the alternative will be working for a large corporation, which will result in a very different lifestyle. via swombat.com Posted via email from markjeee.com | Comment »
Google was the only one where me speaking my mind...
4 - They don’t seem to mind honest criticism. I’m currently reading a draft of a forthcoming Google book, and was amused to find that it includes an email that I sent back in 2000 trashing our then most recent product launch. It’s painful for me to not tell people what I think, so for the most part I try to find people who don’t mind hearing the truth (or my take on it,...

Startup: Does your company or product have a...
16. Does your company or product have a personality? This is the squishiest of the questions — but it’s important. Great software companies today have a personality and a voice. They’re distinctive and remarkable. Whether it’s through their blog, through the copywriting in the product (like error messages), or through in-person interactions, some companies just have...
If you want to be an entrepreneur, it’s not a job,...
“If you want to be an entrepreneur, it’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle. It defines you. Forget about vacations, about going home at 6pm — last thing at night you’ll send emails, first thing in the morning you’ll read emails, and you’ll wake up in the middle of the night. But it’s hugely rewarding as you’re fulfilling something for yourself.” via bgn.org Posted via email from...
Startups: It's hard work, don't be afraid to fail,...
“It’s hard work. When a business becomes successful seemingly overnight, no one knows about all the months and years you’ve invested, all the projects you’ve tried before that didn’t work.” “You shouldn’t be afraid of failure — when something fails, you think, ‘What did I learn from that experience, I can do better next time.’ Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don’t...

The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That’s over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it’s going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade. It’s like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer ...

A “full-stack programmer” is a generalist, someone who can create a non-trivial application by themselves. People who develop broad skills also tend to develop a good mental model of how different layers of a system behave. This turns out to be especially valuable for performance & optimization work. No one can know everything about everything, but you should be able to visualize...
