emocakes's comments

in regards to misplaced frustration and angst, pretty much, tech is mostly filled with frustrated, unattractive (physical and personality wise) middle aged men, who believe that the only way to find a mate is to swallow this liberal agenda so as to make themselves appear as more of a 'nice guy', and thus in their twisted little heads, becoming more attractive to members of the opposite sex. Typical beta mentality.

edit: actually, I should say that tech is not actually like this, its mainly the illusion that reddit and HN present.

I hardly doubt they had to steal it. Their US puppets probably just gave it to them.

emocakes | 12 years ago | on: Employee Equity

I worked at a startup, was employee number 4, and the 2nd lead developer after the CTO, I got offered a pathetic 0.025% over 4 years. Options like that are disheartening and really don't make you want to stick around for 4 years getting paid dirt to eventually be able to claim your $20k worth of options.

I left and now am getting paid close to triple my old salary with options getting close to 10% in a business model that is far more profitable than the previous. I think lots of people just starting out in the startup scene get taken advantage of and taken for a ride.

Just got rid of online.net, going back to kimsufi. I've hopped around between hetzner, ovh, online.net, kimsufi is still the best cheap dedi, imho.

emocakes | 12 years ago | on: Dear first world dev, I am going to live your nightmare

who cares. maybe if '3rd world' devs actually produced better code and contributed to community (more than just joining IRC, asking for help, then leaving without saying thanks), they might be able to make a better name for themselves and in turn be able to bargain for better conditions.
