It appears the mistake you made was not going to your boss's boss. As someone who came up in the political mines I feel you on this.

Well, I mean a third of the US Nuclear arsenal is on Boomer subs, so that is not exactly true.

bolt.com is a great option for e-commerce companies who want checkout, payment processing and risk and fraud all in one solution

He also is not a manager at Dropbox. He is the highest level IC there and has no desire to lead a team.

I just have to say, if you are an "aging developer" and want to partner with someone with some integrity on some side ideas that could become main ideas... hit me up. I have 20+ years in recruiting/sales and we can tear shit up.

You always have the option of partnering with some Gen X'rs who have experience and integrity and building something, with them, that provides you all security.

Man.. you should have seen the fat at Motorola in its heyday. I had a long interview with one of their senior R&D people once and it was an eye opening conversation...

This especially stuck out to me as it is fairly consistent across most episodes that I have seen:
"If Lemonis has a genius skill it’s in keeping his temper and working through bullshit problems to get to the real festering issues that are at the root of inefficiencies."

Yet they never thought to move away from making cars with internal combustion engines and 2k parts vs 200.
Say what you want about how long it is taking them to get going, Tesla make excellent cars and the longer they make them the better they will be.

They authorized 250 Billion in Defense Spending last year. They are not slowing down. Eisenhower warned us, and that is not even counting black ops that are funded "privately"

Yeah.. Any critical thinker could see Robert trying to influence people. He actually is in favor of MLM systems in it, the minute I read that I was instantly suspicious of him... I later found out for good reason.

taheca | 8 years ago | on: Rip Your Resume in Half and Other Things You Won't Hear from HR
I've been a contract recruiter for most of my career, and while we could have a excellent conversation about how relatively new the recruiting function is to corporations, and how it has evolved, and where I see it going.. I have to say I am honestly offended by your statement that contract recruiters generally "They are amongst the most clueless, unprofessional and inefficient people working at these tech companies" and "has no real vested interest the process or how they represent the company"
This statement is patently absurd and offensive.
Yes, there are bad recruiters out there, as there are bad sales reps, customer service people, and even shitty engineers who leave a lot of shitty code in places it shouldn't be.
Please stop generalizing

It truly is the worst of the coffee offerings out here. When I see people in SF walking around with Peet's I always think "why?", you are literally surrounded by some of the best coffee in the world.... hell even Nestle Sell out Blue Bottle would be better than Peet's

taheca | 8 years ago | on: Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”
Easy to make a statement like this.
My wife has never worked because she did not have a career established when we decided to have kids. Allowing her to stay home is one of my proudest accomplishments (and it has done wonders for our kids).
I am home every night to spend a few hours with my kids, and I read to them every night before bed.
I spend all day on the weekends with them.
Sure I would love a shorter commute, as I said, I am in a non technical, and not in as high demand profession as many on here.
This is what a regular person goes through Hackernews. Keep that in consideration the next time you feel like complaining.
